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 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.

We all know the benefits of physical activity, but when it comes to pregnancy, it becomes a heavily disputed area.

As there are still preconceptions that you should always be resting up rather than working out, and it's not always the case.

As long as your GP has no concern, there is no reason why you can't move throughout your pregnancy, even if you're up for it into the third trimester.

The peanut app is a safe space to connect with other women in their different stages of motherhood.

Introducing you to women nearby, peanut provides access to a community that's there to listen to, share information and offer valuable advice.

Throughout my pregnancy and my fourth trimester, I continued with movement and I was able to find other moms to work out with on the app.

You can download the app for free today on your app store or head to peanut.app.link slash food for thought.
