Six weeks. Three lives. Total transformation. We set out to test a bold question: Can you transform your health in just 6 short weeks, using science-led nutrition? We invited Sarah, Rob, and Lucy to take part in the experiment, each with very different lives and all dealing with low energy, poor sleep, and feeling not quite themselves. There was no calorie counting or restrictive diets. Just changing how they eat to support their gut health, guided by ZOE’s world-leading scientists @tim.spector, @drsarahberry, and @dr.fede.amati. We measured their health at the start and at the end of the 6 weeks, and documented everything in between. In this experiment, there were no retakes and no controlled lab settings. Just real life, with work, family, stress, holidays, and everything that makes changing your habits and improving your diet challenging. Staying true to the science, we committed to sharing the results, no matter what happened. So, did it work?

Today, we launch the next generation of ZOE in the UK. After 8 years of running the world’s largest nutrition science study and listening to our members, we’re launching a brand-new ZOE App and Gut Health Test. For the first time, you don’t need a test to join ZOE. And if you do choose to test, you’ll unlock new insights from our Gut Microbiome Test. From sequencing over 300,000 microbiomes, we’ve identified clusters of gut microbes linked to heart health, inflammation, blood sugar, and fat distribution. This makes it easier than ever to understand your gut health and take action to improve it. Our App has also been rebuilt from the ground up. With mindful eating at its heart, we’ve created AI-powered tools powered by our microbiome database and the world’s largest nutrition study. At ZOE, we take complex science and make it useful in your everyday life. This is the next step in our mission to improve the health of millions, and we can’t wait for you to try it. Comment ZIGGIE now and join us in the gut health revolution.💛

We’ve been taught to see symptoms like a runny nose, a fever or a cough as signs that something has gone wrong, and our body is letting us down. But are these symptoms a problem to be treated, or part of the solution? Dr Giulia Enders is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and the bestselling author of Gut, which sold over eight million copies and helped the world discover the concept of gut health. She’s finally written another book and today we explore a very different way of thinking about your immune system: not as something to “boost” or fight, but something to keep in balance. In this week’s episode, we uncover: • Why “boosting” your immune system can backfire • Why common symptoms may actually help you recover • When it makes sense to treat symptoms , and when it might not • And the three everyday habits that help keep it in balance By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to support your immune system, rather than work against it.

The term ‘ultra-processed food’ has become a bit of a catch-all, but not all highly processed foods are the same. When you look more closely at the science, the picture is more nuanced. Some processed foods are clearly linked to poorer metabolic health. They tend to be energy-dense, rapidly absorbed, and often contain additives that may affect the gut microbiome. Others, despite being processed, do not show the same effects and can be part of a healthy diet. So rather than asking “is this ultra-processed or not?”, a better question is “how might this particular food impact my long-term health?” That is the thinking behind the Ultra Processed Food Scanner in the @zoe app. For those of you who are new here, I am the scientific co-founder of the gut health science company @zoe. The UPF Food Scanner automatically identifies high risk processed foods and distinguishes them from lower risk options, based on factors like energy density, how quickly the food is absorbed, and the types of additives used. This helps explain why two gluten-free breads that look similar on the shelf can have very different effects on your body. Understanding the underlying science, rather than relying on marketing terms, gives you a much more practical way to make decisions that support your gut and long-term health.

What does the latest research tell us about weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro? Over the past few years, these drugs have gone from niche medical treatments to global headlines. For some, they are life-changing; reducing hunger, ending cravings, and delivering dramatic weight loss. But what happens when you stop taking them? How sustainable are the results? And how much do we really know about their long-term effects? This week, we’re joined by Dr Ania Jastreboff, Director of the Yale Obesity Research Center, practising physician, and one of the leading researchers in GLP-1 therapies. She’s authored multiple papers in the New England Journal of Medicine analysing GLP-1s in clinical trials, including new drugs not yet available for prescription. Together, we explore: * What GLP-1 drugs are and how they influence appetite, hunger, and blood sugar * Why they can lead to significant weight loss * What happens when treatment stops, and why weight regain can occur * The latest research on next-generation drugs like retatrutide * Known side effects and the key unanswered questions By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer, evidence-based understanding of how these drugs work, and what we know so far about their benefits and risks. Listen now via the link in our bio, and let us know your thoughts on GLP-1s in the comments.

UK healthy life expectancy has fallen by 2 years in the last decade, so why is this happening? A major new analysis shows that healthy life expectancy in the UK has dropped to just over 60 years for both men and women. That means many people are now spending more of their lives in poor health, often well before retirement. What is striking is that overall life expectancy has remained broadly stable. So this is not simply about people dying earlier. It is about people becoming unwell earlier, particularly during their working years. We are also seeing widening inequalities. In some of the most deprived areas, people can expect to become unwell nearly 20 years earlier than those in the most affluent parts of the country. This is not inevitable. Other countries have not seen the same decline. This reflects a combination of factors, but diet, lifestyle, chronic inflammation, metabolic health, and the environments we live in all play a role. For example, 40% of cancers are preventable and are linked to bad diet and alcohol, as well as smoking. If we want to reverse this trend, we need to focus far more on prevention, and that starts long before someone becomes ill.

If your gut microbes could talk, they would not thank you for a sardine fast. Sardines are a healthy food when eaten as part of a balanced diet. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high in protein, and packed with important nutrients. But sardines contain zero dietary fibre, and your gut microbes rely on fibre from plants to survive and function. Without it, they have nothing to feed on and ferment. Even over a short period, removing fibre and plant diversity can disrupt the microbiome, which plays a central role in metabolic health. This is why @theguthealthmd and I do not recommend single-food “fasts”. Your gut thrives on diversity, not restriction. You may see short-term weight loss, but this is largely water loss and reduced calorie intake. It is not a sustainable or meaningful improvement in health. There are other concerns too. High sodium intake from multiple tins a day, and the lack of balance you get from cutting out whole food groups. If you want the benefits of sardines, the answer is much simpler. Eat them regularly as part of a varied, plant-rich diet. Have you seen other diet trends like this doing the rounds? Let us know in the comments and we’ll take a look at the evidence.

The best cancer-fighting drink? 🍵 Cancer touches nearly all of us, but research shows there are ways to reduce our risk over time. @drwilliamli is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and two-time New York Times bestselling author.

We cover: * How cancer begins and why it can take years to develop * The role of inflammation, immunity, and blood supply * Foods and habits linked to higher risk * And what may help support your body’s natural defences Listen now via the link in our bio or search “ZOE Science & Nutrition”, and let us know what you think.

As a scientist, I am naturally curious and always looking for the answers to big questions. At @zoe, we decided to test one of them with a bold experiment. Could changing how you eat, using the latest science, make a noticeable difference in just short six weeks? We invited three people to take part. Different lives, different routines, but all dealing with things many of us recognise like low energy, poor sleep, and not quite feeling at their best. There was no calorie counting and no restrictive diets. The focus was on improving their diet to support their gut health, guided by the science and tools we have developed at ZOE, with counsel from me and @dr.fede.amati. This was the first experiment I’ve taken part in that was not done in a controlled environment. It was real life, with work, family, stress, travel, all the things that usually get in the way of changing your habits and improving your health. We measured their health markers at the beginning and at the end, and documented the process throughout. And as true scientists, we committed to sharing the results as they were. You can watch The Gut Health Challenge on ZOE’s YouTube now via the link in my bio. I would be very interested to hear what you think.
