137: What you might not know about food with Professor Tim Spector

<p>My guest this week is an absolute hero and legend in the medicine and nutrition world. I'm talking to Professor Tim Spector, who is a professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London, Director of the Twins UK study and one of the world's leading researchers in gut microbiome.</p><br><p>Professor Tim Spector is the Director of the British Gut Project and his research has transformed our knowledge of food and health. He's also the author of two books, <em>The Diet Myth</em> and <em>Spoon Fed: Why Everything You Know About Food is Wrong</em>. The amount he's done for furthering the understanding of health is so phenomenal. He could have already retired and never lifted a pen again. So that's why his new book is quite groundbreaking. It's called <em>Food Is Life </em>and his latest research is beyond excellent. I have never read a more comprehensive guide on the truth behind our food. His new book is really a food Bible, if you will. It discusses absolutely everything and looks into the research behind these claims. I highly recommend it!</p><br><p><strong>Find more information on Professor Tim Spector:</strong></p><br><p>Website:<a href=" https://tim-spector.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://tim-spector.co.uk/</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href=" https://www.instagram.com/tim.spector/?hl=en-gb " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/tim.spector/?hl=en-gb </a></p><p>Books:<a href=" https://tim-spector.co.uk/tim-spector-books/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://tim-spector.co.uk/tim-spector-books/</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow Poppy:</strong></p><p>Instagram:&nbsp;@poppyjamie</p><br><p>We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, please email&nbsp;contact@notperfectpodcast.com</p><br><p>Produced by Georgie Rutherford</p><p>Edited by George Drake</p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
