After decades of human health research, Dr. Tim Spector believed our genes largely determined why people got sick, gained weight, or aged the way they did. But 30 years of studying identical twins revealed something unexpected: people with the same DNA could respond to the same foods in completely different ways. That breakthrough led him to uncover the powerful role of the gut microbiome and co-found ZOE, a company focused on personalized nutrition and gut health. In this episode, Dr. Tim exposes the biggest diet myths and shares simple habits to improve gut health, boost energy and productivity, and support long-term health, without obsessing over calories. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Tim will discuss:  (00:00) Introduction (01:30) What Twin Studies Reveal About Food (04:11) How the Gut Microbiome Works (10:32) Building a Healthier Gut Microbiome (17:46) Processed vs. Ultra-Processed Foods (31:22) Does Calorie Counting Work?
