This podcast has been sponsored by Zoe, the personalized nutrition program that helps you understand how to eat for your long term health.

Now, long-timelessness of the podcast may remember Zoe from previous episodes, or I've recorded with Zoe Co-founder, Professor Tim Specter.

He's an expert on the gut microbiome and professor specter and his team of scientists discovered that identical twins can have completely different responses to the same food.

And this is something we talk about with our clients all the time in the clinic.

And that means that both twins could eat a sugary muffin, and you know, they would have a complete different response, which is fascinating.

And one could feel great, and the other could feel that slump, and the increased hunger due to their different blood sugar responses.

So, here we go. Zoe's research found that the change in blood sugar and blood fat levels can vary 10 fold from person to person.

And on top of that, identical twins only share a quarter of their gut bugs, despite being genetically identical.

So, basically, we're all different, which is what we talk about all the time in the podcast, where unique in how we respond to food and how we process what we eat.

This solidifies what we've always believed.

Kimchi, kombucha, sauerkraut, miso and kaffir. All fermented foods and drinks have been around for centuries, but suddenly that all the rage aren't they?

The simple reason is that they are packed full of gut healthy bacteria, and we are finally waking up to just how much the trillions of micro organisms that live in our gut's contribute to our mental and physical health.

Gut health is now strongly linked to our overall wellbeing, including weight management, energy and stress.

The thing is, unless you're fermenting foods for yourself, these products are not cheap. Yet at just £1.50 for a 350-gram pot of Yo Valley Kaffir, this daily boost high in protein low in fat, and with natural and fruity flavours to choose from, is in the yoghurtile at all the major supermarkets.
