Hearted Youtube comments on ZOE (@joinZOE) channel.

  1. This is the diet I have, more or less, followed for the last four decades. I trained as an osteopath in the UK in the early-mid 1970s, but my great love - personally & professionally - was always nutrition. After reading Yudkin's book, "Pure White and Deadly," in my early clinical days, I was drawn away from the Ansel Keys theory relating to the evils of saturated fat, towards a low (or non) refined carb., whole food diet. As an osteopath I was also aware of the importance of gut health, and how life choices profoundly impact it. I'm now a 70 y o, have a BMI under 25, near perfect health, take no medication, walk kilometers every day and workout with resistance training 2 - 3 times a week. The tragedy is I live in a retirement complex surrounded by folk of a similar age, the great majority of whom are over weight, over medicated, overfed (in terms of carbs & empty calories), underfed (in terms of sound nutrition), underactive and in poor overall health. People ask me what my secret is. I tell them, but few listen! I heartily commend your recommendations, Tim. It is deeply gratifying to see more and more top health professionals embracing these things! Thank you. David (NZ).

  2. I never drink alcohol and never smoked in my entire life! Never took drugs.... and always nourished myself with a Mediterranean diet! .... My parents were born in Italy and they always cultivated a vegetable garden as long as I can remember.... My mom was an excellent cook - as a result all of her children were beautiful and healthy! My mom prepared the most delicious platters of food.... Zuccinni, eggplant... broccoli, cabbage, ... Chicken consommé freshly made with 7 vegetables.... and served with egg noodles that she prepared .... and I have continued in her foot steps! Thank God I am still going strong and of course walking every day....I am a mature lady!❤🥊

  3. Wonderful news on the OBE, we so need more recognishion of doctors and scientists. Seriously well deserved.

  4. I am a state registered dietitian and with your influence, I changed radically the advice I now give to my patients and the way I eat my self. All these processed snacks we felt we had to eat every couple of hours!!! I now returned to the Mediterranean diet I was brought up and changed following my university degree! Lots of beans, yoghurt, fruit, vegetables, coffee and olive oil as well ad no snacks in-between meals. Feels great! Thank you for being so inspiring and not a typical stuffy professor 😉

  5. Well done for the OBE - about time someone got who has actually done something for the country was recognised instead of the usual muppets.

  6. I'm only 11 minutes into this video, and I am in tears about the lack of knowledge and the lack of caring by our medical professionals. I know this first hand. Women make up 50% of the population but are treated like we don't matter or matter as much. 😢

  7. Throughout the pandemic ZOE has been my go to for the most accurate up to date information and a way to avoid a lot of the fear mongering and clickbait headlines, and deliberately out of date symptoms information. I would often try to encourage my family to use the app and follow your updates. I have ASD and had only come off depression medication 6 months before the first lockdown. I'll never forget the sheer terror I felt and how low I became in the first couple of months, the COVID Symptom Study was literally my lifeline in the first lockdown and ever since has remained my go to source for trustworthy information. The prevalence maps provided a source of reassurance as well as caution. I will continue to submit my symptoms and have signed up to take part in several of your studies for my family has a history of diabetes, arthritis, dementia and MS so knowing how to reduce the chance of myself or my loved ones developing these conditions or finding out how those who already have them could manage them or slow their progress is important to me. If my small addition goes towards helping many others then all the better 😊

  8. Excellent data as always, thank you Tim and team
    298
  9. Since becoming aware of your work, I've adopted a daily kefir habit and have started making my own kimchi. I've also been adding lots of colourful veg into my diet - if it's purple, I'll buy it. I call it "spectral" food.
    295
  10. I firmly believe this…while rollerblading one evening, an unknowing brain aneurysm ruptured…as I lay in the hospital bed looking out the window, I was just visualizing blading on Saturday, visualizing in my mind the moves, the music…two months later I was back jogging, nine months later I was back rollerblading! The brain definitely can regenerate!
    281
  11. No sore throat symptoms, I'm afraid, but wanted to say how very appreciative I am of these updates. You have been a beacon of reassuring good sense throughout this, Tim, and I can't say how grateful I am to you and your team.
    267
  12. Hardly surprising considering they point blank refused to acknowledge your symptoms lists for the whole 2 years. Good luck to you all, I've found your app and the data you provide fantastic and invaluable in how we adjusted our lives to get through this mess.
    246
  13. Great video Tim, I would love more of these, it would make a great TV series.
    229
  14. Tim, just want to say that I'm incredibly thankful for how you've listened to your viewers and made dramatic improvements with the addition video-in-video when looking at slides. It's now looking well-polished and exceeds the government's own briefings in professionalism. A small change but makes a huge difference for me!
    210
  15. Sad to hear that thee UK Government are stopping your funding and it only adds to the list of health decision errors they have made during this pandemic.I will stay and as others have already said, I would be happy to make a contribution to move this ground breaking research ahead. There are only a few places the public can go for honest, up to date information and we need to keep them available for the future.
    206
  16. Great to see you’ve been given an OBE. Makes a nice change to see someone who actually deserves it.
    203
  17. Dr John and Zoe are the only people that make sense in this pandemic
    201
  18. Thank you as always Tim, world class data
    197
  19. The government is short term but Zoe is for now and the future, please keep up your work as we need it more than ever. Yours and a few others give us reality. Good luck with the funding.
    197
  20. Thank you so much! I only just heard you on an interview the other day....and a few things you said have changed my life already. i'm a non fat, diet food products eater and yet i'm the heaviest i've ever been at this present time. Went to the store...bought all diff vegetables AND.....FULL FAT yogurt and cottage cheese! I'm already proud of me....and i'm so thankful for finding you! I"ve had a brain injury for five and a half years and before that horrific troubles with my stomach that noone seemed to be able to figure out.....i've learned of the important communication between the gut and the brain since being injured and i am determined to get my gut healthy to help my brain in it's very slow healing process. So....sorry i'm long winded.....but THANK YOU!!!!
    195
  21. Congratulations on the OBE, Tim. Well deserved!
    190
  22. Looking forward to your analysis
    189
  23. I’m 70 and have had copd over 20 years and been on oxygen and what keeps me alive is excercise which I didn’t start until a few years ago.It makes me breathe better and I’m still learning about diet.This man is the real deal!
    175
  24. I've just had a negative pcr result having had the heaviest cold and cough in years. Because of the zoe app I was confident about getting the test and ensuring that I wasn't unwittingly spreading covid. I rely upon this forum for reliable information when there is so much media hype and confused information. Big thanks to Tim and his team. It is also a fascinating subject area - I've learnt a lot!
    169
  25. Oh - you look so smart Tim, and I see congrats are in order :-) Totally deserved OBE. Delighted for you. Thank you for your work on Covid and Zoe & hopes for future with the gut stuff.
    165
  26. Glad it’s been mostly mild with you Tim. Get better soon.
    159
  27. Such a useful summary of the situation. I was grateful to hear 1 in 2 people with cold like symptoms are likely to test positive for Omicron. I have just developed cold like symptoms and am awaiting the results of a PCR test. Meanwhile all my family are gathering for Xmas while I am sitting alone. Yes I am feeling a bit sorry for myself but you have confirmed I am doing the right thing. Thanks for your brilliant weekly updates. They have been so helpful.
    149
  28. Dr Li is an absolute National Treasure! All doctors should have.His positivity, kindness and expertise. He understands the "system", not just one aspect of it. He gets the totality of the human body and how they interconnect, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. Dr Li is the future of medicine! To sum up Dr Li's healthful living: eat a plant based diet & MOVE your body!
    144
  29. Unbuttoning the collar=Genius. More cameo appearances please from the team! Great info.
    143
  30. This channel and Dr. John Campbell's have kept me calm and sane over the last couple of years, the news would have done the exact opposite with how chaotic and sometimes sensationalist reports are.
    130
  31. Thanks Tim. I've been following you and John Campbell for some time now with interest albeit I'm based in the Middle East. I tested positive this week (I'm 3x vaccs) and my symptoms are precisely those shown on your Top 20 Tracker. Fatigue is the overwhelming ever present at the moment plus occasional runny nose and headache. Interestingly our local covid app, where we have to register symptoms daily whilst in 7 days mandatory isolation, does not offer up these most common symptoms, so it's not just the UK authorities! Outside of mandated isolation periods like here you are so right about taking personal responsibility. I felt fine this morning (Day 4) so did a rapid test out of interest and got an immediate Positive result. Waiting until I'm clear and being sure of that ( 7 days or beyond) is only sensible and thoughtful towards others.
    129
  32. I went to the doctors concerned about inflammation 5 years ago. They were no help at all, even though I could have been on the path to diabetes. It's thanks to people like these guys that I figured it out and changed my health trajectory.
    123
  33. Thank you, Tim and team for another year of reasoned reporting. It's comforting to hear from you, even when it's not such good news. I ignore the media hype and wait for your posts to find out what's really happening. Wishing you all a safe, healthy and happy Christmas xx
    122
  34. Excellent weekly review as always, thank you very much Tim and Zoe
    118
  35. Thank you so much for everything you and the Zoe team are doing. The covid study and ongoing health data collection is an amazing tool and I am so disappointed that the Government are turning their backs on your valuable contribution and hard work and basically leaving us out to dry. Well done Professor Tim and everyone at Zoe.
    115
  36. One of the few real analysts that worth listening to and get a peace of mind. Thank you.
    113
  37. Thank you for inviting Dr Li back! He is one doctor I really feel trust for. He sticks to what's currently known on a topic and presents it in a way to make it easily digestible. I always love your summaries at the end Jonathan. Thank you!
    112
  38. What a terrible decision to remove funding. Considering how any government work, whatever party, there is rarely any forward thinking, just as and when something happens reaction. I hope you all can continue your very valuable work. I know you will do all in your power to do so. Thank you all at Zoe for what you have done.
    110
  39. Great presentation Claire, clear and precise, I really wish the Government would update symptoms it’s so frustrating, I keep telling family and friends, what they are .
    108
  40. Dear Tim, after following your very informative, albeit somber, Covid ZOE videos for many months , it's nice to see you share a far lighter, happier, subject with a smile on your face. Best wishes from Canada, hopefully you will bring your program here as well!
    101
  41. What a travesty! How short sighted of the government yet again. Zoe has been my lifeline throughout the last two years. Always calming and so helpful. Boosting me and helping to level facts up against all the ‘fearmongering’ in the media. I shall be supporting Zoe in any way I can. Thank you so much for all you are doing, Zoe MUST carry on, it’s the way forward!
    99
  42. Have a good Christmas to all the Zoe team. Thank you Tim for your leavel headed approach whilst giving out information
    97
  43. I miss Tim, of course ( and the tan 😉), but yes it’s great to see some of the other guys and girls do a ‘turn’. Thank you everyone at team Zoe 💙☮️, I had to resist the urge to wave back 🤣. Interesting / a bit concerning is the climbing rate in Israel but that could be because it was all Pfizer vaccine ( I think) and they double dosed in 3 weeks ( which I understand was the original advise for vaccine period from Pfizer). Take care everyone ☮️ 👋
    96
  44. Excellent interview. I am not convinced about a plant based diet, but go out of my way to get plenty of flavonoids and fiber. At 80 years I need more protein and iron. I walk 3-10 miles a day most days, and work out at least 3 days a week. I am still doing successful work as a senior analyst and sail a small boat whenever I can. Major issues are worries about balance, and increasing difficulty with short term memory. Your interviews are very helpful.
    96
  45. I'm so frustrated with this government for neglecting our health during the pandemic and now denying us the chance to improve things for the future. Keep up the good work everyone at Zoe - you are very much appreciated!
    93
  46. Glad you look and are feeling better professor Spector... You are a bright light amidst the darkness of non critical thought or scientific reason. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping us sane. 😊
    92
  47. “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” - John Maynard Keynes quote. Totally agree with this economist quote and I am pleased to see you update your analysis based on new data. We just need to teach this quote to Governments..
    91
  48. Totally reckless behaviour by this government. No surprise there. Hope you're able to continue as this research is invaluable.
    91
  49. Dr. Li - You are such a gift! Every time I see you online I tune in, and my mood brightens. 😉 I always learn something, as your positive attitude leaves me feeling hopeful. But even more important (for me) is saying THANK YOU . . . for the many ways you share what you know and teach us what you're learning. See you in Cambridge one of these days.
    89
  50. Dear Tim and the team. Without any doubt whatsoever, your contribution to keeping the general public informed about this terrible disease has been second to none. So clear and precise on a daily basis has helped ourselves stay safe and in formed. May I wish you all the very, very best for 2022 and May you keep up the brilliant work you constantly strive for.
    89
  51. Thank you Prof Spector- interesting that the Omicron cases are climbing again, expected with children returning to school.. As you said, we must learn to live with it and act responsibly. Noted. Appreciate the weekly bulletins you and your team collate - that for me is the source of data I listen to. I avoid the media as too confusing.
    89
  52. So please Tim and the Zoe team have taken this up, thank you.
    89
  53. I have been an amateur sleep researcher for decades as I have seen for myself the profound affects of sleep deprivation. Young children, snoring husband, mismatched sleep requirements have had an extremely detrimental affect on me and I have to say I have had no help from my GPs over the years. After following various podcasts and buyiing a few books I now sleep very well at 67 by taking the advice that you have reiterated here. Having my own cool, dark bedroom and not being awakened by a husband at 2.30am every night as hes an “Owl” type while Im a “Lark” type has been the greatest boon which has dramatically changed my life. We are a much happier couple now than at any time in our 47 years of marriage. Thank you so much for this information, keep it coming and I for one, will keep putting it into practice.
    89
  54. An OBE couldn't be more deserved. Congratulations. As always you have provided a clear and precise summary of the current situation. Thank you.
    88
  55. It's been an honour to be involved. It's been good for my sanity, to feel like I'm doing something to help. X love to ZOE and everyone who reports in. Happy 2022!
    85
  56. This is really exciting and reassuring. I’ve been contributing since the beginning and I really really Trust You and your team. I believe you will continue to make a massive difference to our overall physical and mental health. Fantastic news!
    85
  57. Good advice on the LFT - my wife recently held her book clubs Christmas get together. All 6 of them ( all triple jabbed) did a LFT on the late afternoon before the event. 👍
    85
  58. Love it when specialists tell me that my addiction is actually healthy
    85
  59. Thanks Claire, you are MUCH better than a stand-in, I hope to see much more of you!
    84
  60. I'm stopping smoking im on my 8 week now and already feeling the benifits and eating healthy and taking care of my family 🙂
    83
  61. I'm telling everyone about the Zoe symptoms list, doing my best to educate as many as I can. I'm secretary of our local WI and am putting a poster up at each meeting, and emailing round before the meeting with the top 5 symptoms to be aware of. Thanks for all you are doing.
    81
  62. Thank you all so much - I am doing the Zoe intermittent fasting and as I am retired found using the spare morning time before my first meal at around 11 a.m. to do food planning and preparation such as a batch cook or fermenting, it gives me a challenge as I live alone. I am so grateful for all this useful support and I am more energetic.
    80
  63. As always so grateful for your updates and your ongoing studies and reporting
    79
  64. Tim, your mum must be incredibly proud of you. I hope you get to visit and hug her really soon. And as always thankyou for the evidence based information/ update. Looking forward to supporting ongoing health research.
    78
  65. Thank you Tim and everyone involved with Zoe! Having access to reliable data is even more important in light the recent changes to public testing easements.
    78
  66. Really enjoyed this. Thank you. We are in our early 70's and both still very active. We believe a long, fast walk daily of vital importance. Use it or lose it! We have been whole food plant based eaters for 10 years now and feel the benefits. We take no meds whatsoever and keep our brains active daily. Hoping to go into an even more active and healthy 'third age' ;)
    77
  67. Thank you so much as always...how amazing that your the only study to continue over this vital period. We hope you have a well deserved rest Tim and the rest of the Zoe team. Thank you for such wonderful data, reassurance and insight!
    74
  68. I had C19 around 8 weeks ago, 4 months after my second jab. Symptoms were catarrh, slight sore throat, dry rather than sore, and a slight headache - symptoms evident a day before testing positive (Day 1 lateral flow was negative). Without Zoe I would have assumed these symptoms were just a cold, with potentially dire consequences for a frail, elderly relative.
    73
  69. Very disappointed with the removal of funding. At least someone cares about us and COVID, thank you.
    71
  70. Dr Li is by far the best at explaining complicated all things medical so the average person can understand
    71
  71. Finally!! Thank you ZOE for inviting Dr. Mary Claire Haver!
    70
  72. Dreadfully disappointing news for such a great project that has done so much over the past two years. Considering the huge amounts of money wasted with PPE contracts this is nothing short of scandalous. ZOE has done much to correct the Govt statistics - for that alone you deserve continued funding.
    70
  73. And it only takes less than a minute to report each day. It's been a daily anchor against anxiety. Thank you Tim Spector for all your calming reassurance in 2020.
    70
  74. Definitely staying with ZOE… really believe in your ethos.
    69
  75. This is an absolute shocking decision by our so-called government. Throughout the pandemic, they have put money before health constantly. I will continue to support Zoe, and I am looking forward to the new health studies.
    69
  76. Much appreciate your work and scholarship. Personally, i would rather get the antibodies via a vaccine than via the disease along with the possible permanent damage it may do to my body.
    68
  77. Summary of Tim's tips: 1. Try and eat 30 different plants a week. This includes nuts, seeds and herbs. 2. Pick foods high in polyphenols that gives them their bright colours. This includes nuts and seeds, berries, dark chocolate, coffee and even red wine. (yay!) 3. Try some fermented foods every day to boost your gut microbes. 4. Avoid ultra processed foods. Now where's that jar of Sauerkraut I got and never opened....? Thanks team, very informative.

  79. Dr Li is my favorite Zoe guest.
    66
  80. So helpful to have these updates setting out the data and the implications - thank you
    65
  81. Thanks for another great, informative video. I’ve been following this study for quite a while, though I do not live in the UK, because I think it provides an accurate picture of what is happening, or in some cases will happen, throughout the world. I hope you continue the invaluable work you’re doing.
    65
  82. I’m so glad I found you, I am going through a diabetic crisis. I’m trying to find a way to stop all the highs and spikes. This has helped me tremendously. I see a difference this morning when I add a vegetable to my morning meal and ate that first then walked for ten minutes after. I still have a lot of work to do, but today I feel better about things. Thank you all.
    63
  83. Zoe is doing brilliant, innovative work. I was a Biomedical Scientist for 40 years, and it's great to see your type of scientific work getting the recognition it thoroughly deserves. Keep it up Tim!
    61
  84. What a fascinating interview. As a perimenopausal woman I can testify that I cannot metabolise foods in the same way. I am definitely going to try out some of the hacks re the order in which to eat certain foods. Keep up the great work!
    61
  85. The government will always take a short term perspective and therefore miss the value of studies such as Zoe. I'm sorry this has happened. For as long as Zoe is around and continues to both be simple to complete and provide data back out to us, I will continue to support Zoe with my health data! You have helped me more than you can know through this pandemic and I look forward to helping with other health studies in the future!
    60
  86. Because of being part of the zoe app, when my son felt headachey and unwell I was much more alert to the possibility of him having covid- which he did. This was important as he may have unwittingly been a link in contact to a v elderly member of wider family. I just would not have thought to get him testsed without the knowledge of the wide range of symptoms. So many thanks.
    58
  87. Good to see you and hear you. You never over reach which is such a pleasure these days. Even the people we all like are all clutching at straws trying to look into the future. And people follow them hoping to have thier views confirmed. Yours is good well balanced stuff.
    58
  88. Thanks for the inspiration Tim, I’m very busy so I love how you’re meals are simple as I just don’t have the time or patience to follow long complicated recipes, and I have pretty much all those items in the fridge, great video 👍
    56
  89. Glad to see you're feeling better, Tim and thank you and your team once again for keeping us so well informed.
    55
  90. Being part of the Zoe research, albeit at such a basic level, has made me feel as if I wasn't just a passive recipient, it has made feel a bit more positive. Thank you!
    55
  91. Thank you for such an informative and no nonsense channel. I wish it was you in charge Tim. Totally agree with you, why wait for the system to be on the brink of collapse before making a move!?
    55
  92. Great discussion thanks. I particularly appreciated the fact that Sarah and Tim did not agree on everything, this is what you'd expect from scientists. Also liked that Sarah chimed in with her experience of trying to make healthy choices when you have children, and that compromises are necessary sometimes.
    54
  93. I've had tinnitus for 25 months after getting Covid in March 2020. Always knew it was Covid, but people would say it was just stress of lockdown. Watching this was an emotional moment for me. Finally! Tinnitus is being recognised as a symptom and a chronic symptom of long covid. Thank you Tim Spector.
    54
  94. Brilliant podcast - supporting all I've been doing since being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in January this year. I reversed my HbA1c from 225 to 49 within 3 months and am diet controlled only. The hacks are the icing on my cakes (that I no longer crave or eat!! 😄) Thank you team.
    53
  95. Very professional and Ben was first class - so many questions answered - didn’t want it to end! Thanks for hosting and Ben for top rate knowledge and clear, yet detailed education. 👍
    53
  96. Fantastic news, looking forward to the studies of the future, well done to you and the team for your pioneering work 👍
    53
  97. Really a shame to see funding denied. Westill need Covid data especially if Gov data is not going to give it. Zoe has been so much better all around for informing the people. Hope we can continue anyway. 🍐🍃🌳🍃🍐
    53
  98. Finally, an honest, scientific-based, true facts, health talk about cholesterol from REAL EXPERTS with NO SELF SERVING INTEREST but just to HELP people improve their health. This is my 3rd episode to watch in this channel. I am a Nutritionist-Dietitian, I enjoy your talks. Continue to spread the true facts. You are helping a lot of people.
    52
  99. Shocking decision by the government but I will be staying with Zoe..
    51
  100. I read Spoon Fed directly as a result of seeing it on your bookshelf behind you. It’s a truly excellent book, with lots of thought-provoking information about the food we eat, as a result of which I’ve changed several things about my diet and lost quite a bit of weight. I just wanted to say thank you, and to let you know your discreet bit of self-promotion worked 😊
    51
  101. Proud to share this video and proud to be a contributor. Feel I'm doing one small thing to help beat the pandemic.
    51
  102. Well done Prof Tim. Day 8 for me now: had all six of your top six, temp never got above 37.1 & tea tastes pants, but I can still smell the coffee!
    51
  103. Bravo! This is just the kind of large-scale distributed study that needs to be done, and this could change the face of modern medicine. I expect that the results will be complicated, but having large enough numbers will allow you to tease out the variables. I would sign up for the study in a heartbeat, but I'm already doing intermittent fasting and will be for the rest of my life.
    51
  104. Many congratulations, good to see your excellent work (and that of the whole team) recognised.
    51
  105. Brilliant interview! 👍 The best ever on protein… anywhere… thank you Zoe and Professor Gardner. :)
    50
  106. I lost Two Stone by changing to a plant based diet. This was three years ago. I have not regained the weight.
    50
  107. Great guys you’ve just saved me £8 as I was about to go and buy a new bag of pea protein for my veg smoothies. Clearly I don’t need it, the dollop of peanut butter is more than enough! I love these Podcasts X
    50
  108. Thanks Professor and team. I started feeling unwell on Saturday and tested positive on Monday. Triple vaccinated and this is my first infection. Bad flu symptoms (all documented in app). Cannot thank you guys enough for all the hard work you've done over the past 2 years xxx
    50
  109. I have moderate Gastro Paresis plus Irritable Bowel with Slow transit bowel movements. Having watched your videos with great interest I have introduced as much of your food suggestions as my GP can cope with , especially nuts , seeds and berries, make my own sourdough bread and mostly cut out sugar based carbs. Gastro Paresis means I naturally fast overnight . My medical conditions which caused nightly awake hours of pain , much sleeplessness over many years now have got to the point of no night pain and finally beginning to sleep all night. What can I say! Wonderful you guys . I feel so grateful and happy. Thankyou ❤😊 (Melb Aust)

  110. The most useful content of the week considering I'm a huge chocolate fan😋
    49
  111. Thanks Tim and team for the weekly update, we really appreciate them.
    49
  112. Multiple independent funding income streams might be better longer-term than being beholden to a single fickle government source. ZOE has been the best value for the government during the pandemic, and I believe it can offer the public enormous value for money in improving their own personal health and reducing the socialised medical costs and resource burdens imposed on the NHS in future.

  113. Great to see this conversation happening, and I would hazard to guess more in-depth in what all children are taught in schools, irrespective of it affecting half the population! Would love to see a follow up discussing endo and PCOS and microbiom when that research is completed: I have severe endo and have noticed a huge difference since starting a gut friendly diet-not so much for pain or tiredness, but definitely for low immunity around my period. Previously I would catch anything going the week up to my period, but since the diet change I still get endo symptoms, but they have lasted less long, and I am not getting sick on top of the endo, including colds,flus,infections. I also have ovarian cysts so perhaps this has played a role in my immune system being so affected by the endo, but good guy health seems to me to be the key to managing my endo. I wish I had learned about it 15years ago when I was diagnosed!

  114. Well done on the OBE, Tim. I look forward to Dr Campbell receiving his soon too.
    48
  115. Definitely going to keep on daily reporting and I do support the app and the work done. This pandemic has not gone away, whatever this government states, so hopefully you can continue with alternative funding. Keep up the good work!
    48
  116. I log every day and listen to Tim every week. This is now a normal part of my every day and will be until this pandemic is over . Thank you Tim and Zoe
    48
  117. Thanks Prof Tim, as always great clarity and analysis. I suspect the updated symptoms are deliberately in the wrong order so as to avoid huge amounts of people reporting in sick. Although there would be more money to be made now LFT'S are not longer free. Either way, at least they've caved and have updated the symptoms list despite doing it on flipping April Fools Day ! 🙄
    47
  118. Thank you Zoe team for bringing us this valuable, researched and tested information!
    47
  119. Well done guys. Yours is the first place I come to to find out the current news on Covid-19. It is the only source I feel I can trust. Great job.
    46
  120. Thank you Tim for a clear and objective update. Extremely educational.
    46
  121. I can definitely agree with this video . When I was treated for leukaemia in 1996/1997 I had a portable rowing machine next to my hospital bed and was rowing every day even when I was on a drip. The only time I could not physically exercise was during my bone marrow transplants. After treatment I restarted exercising as soon as I could exercise again. It hasn’t been easy and it took me a lot of determination to do it. In October 2020 I was diagnosed with incurable bladder cancer. I was given about 2 years to live. I had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and currently on a trial drug. I never stops exercising and still feel well enough to lead a normal life. For me exercising has always been part of my life since my teenager years. Another benefit of exercising is it help mentally to cope with having cancer.
    44
  122. Thanks as ever for this year's measured and trustworthy updates Tim. Merry Christmas to you and all your team
    43
  123. I love good quality dark chocolate but more than that I love prof. Sarah Berry, she is my all time favourite scientist. Her down to earth, humble approach to explain complex scientific data to Jo public is commendable.
    43
  124. Tim, I don't know what I would have done without your measured, reliable and trustworthy updates from the beginning of the pandemic. Your research and reassurance has, I'm sure, been a huge help to the millions of us who have logged our symptoms every day. I fail to understand how the Government can be so blinkered - firstly by ignoring the change in symptoms and now by refusing your funding. I'm sure I speak for many in telling you that I will continue with my daily log-ins and will do all I can to support you, your team and Zoe's brilliant work. Let's hope the Government sees sense and changes their mind. ❤
    43
  125. Loved this, the interviewee was amazing at explaining things in such a clear, interesting way. More of him please!
    42
  126. Thanks for all your endeavors,really appreciated, just wish the BBC, Sky, ITV and all the mainstream media would push your App so you could have a far higher percentage of the population logging in daily. The more people the greater the understanding of the virus, which will be a fantastic thing. 👏👏👏👏
    42
  127. Thanks Tim for clear and concise information regarding Covid-19 . Thankfully you are continuing to gather data . Also I’m very interested in gut health.
    42
  128. Well done Claire. Tim need not fear if he's away, your analysis is equally well presented and understandable. Thank you 😀
    41
  129. Thanks Tim and Team Zoe for another no nonsense report. Great job......again 👍👍
    41
  130. Happy Christmas, Christmas-Elf-Tim. Thank you for your down-to-earth information and suggestions. Makes a difference from the media frenzy.
    40
  131. Great information as always. Tim Spector's weekly update is my "go to" place to get an informed, balanced view of the pandemic.
    40
  132. So glad I've had my vaccine. I'm just recovering from being quite poorly with Covid , despite being careful and relatively healthy and dread to think how ill I'd have been if I'd not been vaccinated. Thanks to Tim and ZOE for your amazing work. 💚
    40
  133. Excellent weekly report as usual prof Tim! Look forward to next week and your team deserve a break!
    40
  134. Thank you for this update Prof Tim & ZOE. I’m still logging, LFT’ing and did the antibody test. I was quite surprised that I had no natural antibodies. I work in a fantastic special school with highly vulnerable students. I am concerned for them, myself, my family and peers. I am personally, going to choose to wear a good mask again outside my ‘bubble’, taking other sensible measures. I love my job, I won’t stop because of Covid. I’ll just be extra vigilant. I do hope the government exercise a proper plan before another potential crisis hits with more unnecessary deaths.
    40
  135. Thank you for this calm, measured and reassuring update. It is greatly appreciated.
    39
  136. This sounds great. I'll definitely continue to keep logging, but hope that you will also look at lifestyles of those of us who regularly report "feeling physically normal". Traditional Medical science only seems to look at sick people. Perhaps we should be more focused on studying those who maintain good health through their own life choices.
    39
  137. I'm not a Zoe member as I live in Australia, but I have benefited greatly by incorporating Zoe's 'simple steps to better gut health' into my diet. I've also learnt so much from your fascinating videos. Thank you so much Zoe and keep up the great work!
    39
  138. Hi Tim! Glad you are giving us news not hype or fear.
    37
  139. I have advice about cooking beans and chickpeas: soak over night and use an instant pot or a pressure cooker to get out antinutriants. Yes, you can use salt and it will taste better. You can also use fried onions and garlic and spices like laurel, cumin, paprika, herbs. Then you can freeze them in portions and use them spontaneously whenever you want. If you use cans, you pay more, eat small amounts of the can and more antinutriants since they are usually cooked within the can at lower temperatures. I am an omnivore, but I eat beans, chickpeas or lentils almost every day in a small amount because my body asks for them.
    37
  140. I recently was in hospital in Peterborough City. Living in countryside I’d all but forgotten about COVID but hospital were paranoid and I realised that COVID is very much still with us. Still reporting in daily, Professor Tim to ZOE & look forward to other projects, one of which is cancer.
    37
  141. Thank you Tim for your honest reliable information as per usual ..
    37
  142. Thankfully I use your channel for Covid advice and guidance over the Government/ NHS websites! Thanks for the continuing clear and pragmatic updates too.
    35
  143. Well Tim, what a great bloke you are and the same for everyone on your team. Every week we listen to you and take your advice. So far we haven't caught Covid. If that's not tempting fate .... We were lucky enough to take part in a Moderns trial yesterday, what a wonderful way to contribute!
    35
  144. Professor Walker is perhaps the most precise and effective communicator I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. This podcast is stuff with amazing and thought provoking content to boot.
    35
  145. Thank you for addressing the cost of living crisis. I’ve noticed that even ‘basic’ supermarket shops are getting pricey.
    35
  146. Great work from the Zoe team. Reassuring and measured. Enjoy your well deserved break. Thank you all.
    35
  147. Thank you for a great video! I am very excited about the menopause data. It would be interesting to see if intermittent fasting can influence menopause symptoms. I was very surprised to see that the inflammatory marker increases 360min after a meal particularly in post-menopause. Therefore, intermittent fasting might be particularly beneficial. It would also be interesting to see how HRT can modify this effect.
    34
  148. Thank you for the vlog and thanks for introducing the rest of the team who, I'm sure, work very hard behind the scenes. You're all doing an excellent job at keeping us informed. I hope Tim is having a well earned holiday.
    34
  149. I loved Spoon Fed and you have inspired me to take care of my gut health. I now make water kefir and long ferment yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchi. I try to eradicate highly processed foods from my diet. I am a fan of Zoe app. Well done Tim! What an inspiring person you are.
    34
  150. Your app has been a great comfort over the last two years and I'm sure a lot of app respondents would cheerfully send money/subscribe to allow you to continue the project. The monolithic NHS is not anyone's idea of the future for healthcare in the UK.
    34
  151. Thank you for this report Prof. Tim and your team. Greatly appreciate all your work.
    34
  152. Tha ks so much for keeping the covid updates going. I'm immunesurpressed and your study is the one that I've trusted the most so really appreciate it.
    33
  153. Very informative video from someone who has been constipated for many years but has recently started eating loads more veggies daily, this has been a game changer. Thank you Dr B
    32
  154. I like checking in every day, and see my region's number, and as a moment of gratitude any day I click "I feel physically normal". I think this tool will remain very important as COVID variants emerge and spread. I hope more people will participate.
    32
  155. Thanks Tim, objective scientific data and interpretation minus the hysteria, politics and spin that afflicts so much of the media reporting throughout the pandemic 👌
    32
  156. The ONS survey does not involve workers entering respondent's homes. The tabloid press would have a field day if the could claim that The Gov was spreading Covid via their research. Strict social distancing is maintained throughout the Covid Infection Survey protocols, with the suvrvey worker remaining outside & @ 2 metres, wearing a mask and gloves. Great work as ever Tim.....
    32
  157. Love the visual and practical examples Tim - thanks so much. Any chance of more - I prefer video’s to recipe books - aids my learning.
    32
  158. Excellent update as always, thank you Tim.
    32
  159. I’m sharing this episode with every woman I know! What also needs to be included in the conversation is how in the US, HRT treatment is cost-prohibitive to many women because it is not covered by insurance, therefore, not accessible if you’re not willing to pay out of pocket! Thank you for spreading education into the world! ❤
    32
  160. Oh heck now it’s you who have it. Thank goodness you have been able to manage it. Thank you so much for ALL this hard work that you doing, and even working when you unwell! Take care, hope you can get some rest.
    32
  161. Thanks Tim and the team, the work you do is much appreciated! 👍😊🌸
    32
  162. As always, you're so reassuring. Let's all go for it!!
    31
  163. Its great to be included in important health studies. Helping ourselves and NHS
    31
  164. Excellent, I refuse to give up my nightshade veggies!
    31
  165. Looks yummy. I make my own milk kefir and have it every day as a desert. I also grow my own veg and ferment it; I currently have fermented savoy cabbage and Brussels Sprouts on the go which grows over winter here in the UK. I’ve been eating these fermented foods daily for about 3 years now and I think it was the key to reverse my severe bile acid malabsorption issues (I used to need a binder every day for years but haven’t needed a single binder in years now).
    31
  166. Hi to everyone, from South Dakota! I really appreciate the hard work everyone at ZOE is doing to keep all of us informed and updated. Also wish our public health leadership teams were making better use of your study, or that we had something like your study running in the Stares. Very frustrating to walk into my doctor's office and still see them checking for the common symptoms from the start of the pandemic, knowing that it probably means they missing cases unless their already in need of treatment.
    31
  167. Very grateful for all you and the Zoe team do. Really great that we can still benefit from your clear information and guidance.
    31
  168. Absolutely eloquent and concise - a pleasure to listen to 💕
    30
  169. Devastating news but not surprising. It appears the voice of reason, truth and balance no longer has a place and must be silenced. What a travesty. We've been with Zoe since the beginning and have no intention of stopping reporting. As well as Covid, the wider health of the UK is so important and Zoe is playing an important part in that. What a shortsighted decision to make. We support you all at Zoe and will continue to for as long as required ! 🤗
    30
  170. Brilliant work all of you at Zoe and thanks Tim for your videos, they have been the only sanity in this myre of hype and panic. Happy Christmas to you and a Brilliant New Year 🌲
    30
  171. Hope you recover well and quickly Tim! Thanks for the update.
    30
  172. Congrats on your OBE. Thanks for your continuing analysis and advise.
    30
  173. I'd like to put a good word in for the Zoe Nutrition program. I'm on about week 10 and enjoying how it has transformed my life. I'm eating much better and rarely get hungry. I journal everything that I eat which might be cumbersome for some people. One benefit so far is that my weight has decreased by 17 pounds. Weight loss was not my goal initially but it's been nice not having to squeeze into my clothes.
    30
  174. Thanks Tim - helpful and informative as ever. Re ideas for studies of menopause and diet, I'm 14 years post menopause and have found that keeping starchy foods to a minimum has helped me lose weight and keep it off in the last 10 years (I lost 50 lb over a couple of years). I don't have the archetypal apple figure that many post-menopausal women are plagued by, and I feel that is because I restrict sugar and starchy foods, eating a good Mediterranean diet with meat, fish, legumes, good fats and (yes!) over 30 different types of plants in a week (I counted specially!) I cook from scratch every day and almost never eat fast food or pre-prepared meals. I've often wondered if this could work for other menopausal and post-menopausal women. I'm not on HRT either.
    30
  175. As a farmer, the key point for me about Zoe is that it empowers consumers with real & accurate knowledge about their individual health & nutrition. This translates into them making informed choices at the point of purchase. If enough people do this, it will change the choice and composition of food available in shops. This in turn will drive change right back through the food chain and eventually to the farmer where the process of producing healthy food starts
    29
  176. I’m dismayed by this government’s approach. Is there anything we can do as members of the public?
    29
  177. Thank you for the continued updates. I’m looking forward to taking part on the Zoe nutrition study. For many years I ate a terrible diet. It’s only after 3 gut operations that I made a huge effort to change my diet by cutting out processed junk and replacing it with lots of fresh food; especially vegetables, nuts, oily fish and fermented foods. Helped my mental as well as my physical health!
    29
  178. Hi Tim and team. Thanks for this special report, it's great that you have the responsiveness and flexibility to do this when not planned in. I can vouch for new wave, and high transmissibility....five of our family have it, caused by a cascade effect from one family member catching it, giving it to another, that person in contact another who caught it etc. It is interesting to me that I didn't think I had it until I tested positive, but there were with all of us, some early signs (which didn't seem like classic symptoms) that are indicative of its onset, and it's this onset and progression that I hadn't realised about, I was expecting the full symptoms from the get go. It started off Day 1 with feeling a bit light headed and not with it. Then it goes into tiredness as well about a day later, then a strange tickling sensation at back of nose and a slight sore throat. These I can get at any time, thought not symptoms of COVID as not extreme, and I tested negative Day 2 same. On day 3, bang. The full symptoms, fever, headache, sore throat, tight chest, fatigue. Tested positive. This followed day 4 & 5 by full on sneezing, coughing, runny nose, headache still continues, and tiredness. Day 6, things starting to dry out.....cough drier etc. Symptoms start to ease. We all have a different immune response but we five all followed the same trajectory, different degrees of severity. All have been vaccinated.
    29
  179. Good morning Emma. Thank you for your video (and everyone at team Zoe). We contribute… you decipher and present the data in the best way possible! A legendary collaboration ❤️🙏🏼❤️
    28
  180. Well done Zoe for having the amazing Dr. Li back on your show, it demonstrates how serious and switched on you are on latest health issues.
    28
  181. Bonjour Professor Tim .. great to see and hear you as always.. forever ahead of the curve .. thank you. Enjoy your trip away and stay cool 🌞😅🙏🏻💙
    28
  182. I’ve read that studies on special forces who are immersed in cold water as part of their training are found to have elevated dopamine for a few hours after. Anecdotally my daughter gets anxiety sometimes and when she was prepping for her last exams she was hell to live with.😊. She’s a brilliant swimmer so I signed her up for a local pool and dropped her off each day before dinner. She’d come out civilised and charged up for another three hours study. Even today with small toddlers and plenty of stress, swimming is her go to form of meditation, and she uses local rivers and beaches even in winter.
    28
  183. Jonathan’s ability to summarize is amazing
    28
  184. Thank you for the update 🙏 looking forward to seeing the new version of the app to cover more health conditions. Currently on day 4 of the Zoe Health Study. Thank you and the team for everything you are doing 🙏
    27
  185. Happy Christmas Tim and team, and thank you for all you do.
    26
  186. Thank goodness for Zoe, had a positive PCR result yesterday after daily negative LFTs with a 'cold'. I was able to order the PCR citing the Zoe app, withoutt having any of the 'official' symptoms.
    26
  187. Love zoe and dr Sarah Berry and even more so after giving us the word Nutribollocks 🤣🤣
    26
  188. Many congratulations on your OBE Tim, (and team). Well deserved!
    26
  189. I'm 65 and my health has massively improved after implementing the principles I've learned through ZOE podcasts. I have a fine motor tremor that was getting much worse; the way I've changed my diet and implemented life style change has helped me recerve the rather alarming fine motor tremor, improve, energy, sleep and general health. I feel better than I have in decades. Big thank you.
    26
  190. Great advise! Since introducing good fats I’ve lowered mine! Low carb is fantastic for great health and weight loss along with rainbow vegetables nuts and seeds and moderate exercise :) stay away from low fat! One year on and perfect blood results x you are spot on x thank you great channel x lulu
    26
  191. It’s encouraging to see the results of the randomised trial. I’ve been a Zoe member and supporter for a couple of years and felt this was Zoe’s Achilles heel in that all the “evidence” was how people felt about doing Zoe… this is important but alongside the trial you’ve done is more convincing. I think in the long term if you are going to keep members like me in board, then the App should develop into a monitoring device for all health measures, including exercise and sleep. I’ve got to the stage where I don’t really need to log my food to know whether it’s good or bad for me
    26
  192. You are looking alot better Tim in-spite of this devastating news. It is crazy!
    25
  193. Makes sense I hope these health lessons could be rolled out to young people as part of a standard education in 6th form. That way these health lessons may improve health of nation.
    25
  194. Once again, thanks for your work. Yep, if we have the information we can determine how we live with this endemic virus and your suggestion of changing to FFP2 masks has been more than useful- they fit better and I can breathe easier. Now who would have thought it. Thanks again Tim.
    25
  195. I fully support you all at Zoe and think it's madness that the government have withdrawn support and funding - typically short sighted and sadly unsurprising considering their track record! I shall continue to use Zoe for life. Thank you for all that you and the team are doing.
    24
  196. Once again, such a helpful video. You tell us the truth so we can help ourselves stay a bit safer. I’m 76 and immunosuppressed so it’s really important to me. The symptoms data is SO important in view of the total lack from government. Media interviewers seem amazed at them not being as they were 2 years ago!! Thank goodness you keep us up to date there too each week 😘
    24
  197. I'm 79 I believe Tim is correct in warning about the risk of pesticides and other chemicals in food.
    24
  198. Thanks again for your update Tim, I look forward to these each time for the sensible and calm advice you and your team offer us. And, yes, a big HOORAY! 🥳 for the updated guidelines by the government - as you said, better late than never. Keep safe. 😊
    24
  199. Great news, have signed up. Hope you will add respiratory conditions in future - often so neglected and yet makes a big impact on those of us with them.
    23
  200. Anything William Li speaks on is spot on. Love this man!
    23
  201. Top man Prof..a man who we can all trust. A merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and the ZOE team 2022 the year we defeat the virus
    23
  202. I'm 74, my gut score from Zoe was "excellent" have been feeding my microbiome for a year, have never felt so energetic, optimistic and full. .. no hunger pangs at all!! Thank-you Zoe and Tim Spector for "Spoon-fed" it changed my life!
    23
  203. Thank you Tim and all at Zoe for another informative video. 👍👏
    23
  204. I have followed Zoe (from USA) through the entire pandemic. News of the funding situation is disappointing. Keep up the good work! Your words/graphs/etc were always a solid source of information, for which I am grateful!
    23
  205. Bring Zoe to Ireland 🙏🏻💖 I’m experiencing really weird issues post covid (neuropathy, what seems like mini vein clots) really excited to listen to this episode x
    22
  206. I live in Canada and have followed the development of ZOE since documentaries on twin studies several years ago. The money to pay for all the research has to come from somewhere. The large amount of research data from the Zoe program is invaluable and is made possible in part by providing a personalized lifetime healthy eating plan for a not unreasonable fee. The information they learn from their studies is shared in their podcasts, and scientific papers available to the public for free. I think it is brilliant and I can't wait for my personalized program to be available here in Canada. Thank you Zoe Team!
    22
  207. During the past 2-1/2 years, I’ve lost 85 pounds without surgery, medication or paying for a membership or program. I eliminated ultra-processed foods, added sugars, and fast food. I followed Keto for six months and have since followed the Mediterranean diet for two years. No blood glucose monitor. No keto meters. I have semi-annual blood and urine tests. My HbA1c went from 6.3 to 5.1. My HDL, LDL and VLDL are within reference ranges. My triglycerides, fasting insulin and liver enzymes are well within reference ranges. I’ve educated myself by reading nutrition articles from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic and NIH. I watch a curated list of credible, academic YouTube channels. It doesn’t take willpower. It does require imagination and visualization to see a better way to eat. I got a jolt of inspiration from being diagnosed as pre-diabetic with non-alcoholic fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. I’m in my 60s. It is not too late to change.
    22
  208. Thank you for your clear descriptions of what’s happening across the U.K. I’m 78 and haven’t had Covid 19 yet, as far as I’m aware. So feeling concerned at the rises across all areas, life was beginning to return to some kind of normal.
    22
  209. A huge thank you to the Zoe team, for all the work that you're doing - and for keeping us so regularly updated on what you're discovering. A proud contributor, and hopefully of your future studies too!
    22
  210. I would like to thank Tim and the Zoe group, for being the one truly dependable source of information. Initially I felt that the daily briefings were honest and truthful, however politics and face saving seemed to take over. In a crisis, we really need impartiality and robust scientific data, with personable and sensitive scientists. Thank you.
    22
  211. Great updates as always , very surprised how far behind we are on the full vaccination table !
    22
  212. Are we any closer to a UK launch for this? Cannot wait!!
    22
  213. Its a brand new tool you got there Tim. Be fascinating for other diseases. Keep it up. Its refreshing to listen to you. No wandering onto the wild side in search of supporters.
    21
  214. Thank you SO much for all the info throughout - and hope you can find some way to keep going. I'll support you all the way! Yours has been the voice of reason and kept me strong in the darkest days so far. So sad the Covid deniers are commenting in here as well. Let us know what we can do to help. Petition to the Government anyone? Keep going Tim and Team. You have also spurred me into gut friendly foods and feeling so much better already!! X
    21
  215. Very enlightening, thank you both.
    21
  216. This disgraceful decision must be challenged in Parliament, the work is important for protecting us from future danger, looks like government have not learned anything. Would it be possible Bill Gates Foundation to fund the expenditure. Good luck Sir .
    21
  217. I am going to thank you from South Africa. I am 69 years old and feel like a 25-year-old. Zoe is not yet available here, but your channel popped up in my YouTube algorithm because of my struggle with long-term COVID-19 symptoms. It seemed that I was running my life, being a 4-cylinder engine, on 2 cylinders. It has been a long journey but of all interventions, following the Zoe principles has had the greatest impact. I recently went for a medical examination and every important blood result was completely normal. My blood pressure was normal and I have dropped 2 jeans sizes. I cannot thank you enough. I can't wait for this program to become more globally available. I will be the first to sign up.
    21
  218. Around 4 or 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease and my life improved soo much after abandoning gluten!
    21
  219. This decision about funding is so disappointing but I'm cynical enough to not be surprised. Government doesn't want data collected that they can't immediately spin. Hence not changing the symptom message. It's not an accident their COVID figures are so misleading and the last thing they want is to be shown up by Zoë as manipulators of public awareness. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this seems obvious to me. I'm sticking with Zoë and future studies for sure, and I hope you can find long term funding. Thank you, thank you!
    21
  220. This is sp exciting. Building up knowledge is key to helping us improve health issues. Keep up the good work
    21
  221. Thank you so much Tim Spector for your fantastic work and for such helpful information.
    21
  222. Thank you very much Tim for your great videos , keeping us so well informed .
    21
  223. Elfin Safety ! I LOVE it. All you have to do now Tim is to develop a really broad Elf smile and you’re there. Merry Christmas to you and your team and thank you all so much for keeping us informed with ‘unsanitised’ reports.
    21
  224. Thank god I have an allotment 99%of what we eat are organic.
    20
  225. Thanks for a good explanation of the difference between allergies & intolerances
    20
  226. I was pleased to see our local school confirm the correct symptoms, not the outdated government ones
    20
  227. Another excellent video with revealing content (in more ways than one!🤣). On a serious note .. thank you very much one and all at team Zoe. ❤️🙏🏼❤️ It was great to actually see every member of the team! I salute you all.
    20
  228. Having found Zoë so informative, and personally helpful in keeping me grounded during this pandemic I will stay with you all at Zoë. As you request for life. Thank you everyone at Zoë. 🙏
    20
  229. Thank Tim and team, keep on going. Its reassuring that you are out there, collecting and analysing the data, and calmly feeding back to us, to keep us all informed
    20
  230. Thank you so much for continuing this. I've got my first bout of covid, I'd feel completely forgotten without you guys
    20
  231. Excellent report Claire. Many thanks to you and all the team at Zoe for this amazing work. I think its time for another roll-call for the whole team, they deserve it.
    20
  232. Brilliant news and so excited with the times ahead to help people who may live long after me. Honoured to be part of this study well done Tim and team.
    20
  233. Get well soon Tim. Thank you for the updates.
    20
  234. I am glad that she mentioned the potential benefits of vitamin D foe psoriasis. I have been taking this for over 10 years and my psoriasis is greatly improved. Not cured, but much more controlled.
    20
  235. Tried re roasting cold precooked roast potatoes and my blood sugar did not rise as it usually does with eating roast potatoes. Thank you .
    20
  236. Congratulations on receiving the OBE: let’s hope they upgrade you to MBE soon!
    19
  237. Aww Tim you look exhausted. You are giving amazing info and data... I am just sorry the government are being negligent. I wish we could hold them responsible and negligent. I think the dont care. It's not that they dont know what the risk is .. Stay strong Thank you You are making my life so much better even though you must feel like giving up, remember how many lives you are saving DESPITE the english governments incompetence and negligence
    19
  238. Congratulations on receiving your OBE. Well deserved. 🤩

  239. Given my travel and elder years I decided to get new booster recently- believing the benefits probably outweigh any negatives. The politics of COVID mean nothing to me. I'm making a judgement call that booster will give me better odds in avoiding serious COVID.
    19
  240. I work as a doctor in Madrid and have to admit that I' ve learnt a lot from Zoe without having to pay anything and would like to thank you Zoe for all this amazing job👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩
    19
  241. Excellent! The process in meat alternatives is not the most dangerous thing. It is the type of processed additives that are dangerous. This podcast once again has taught me one of many very important lessons: Don’t be lazy and take responsibility of knowing the ingredients in your foods- no matter how tedious it may seem. Our food industry is corrupt and filling the pockets of media & politicians
    19
  242. Thanks for all the work you and the team have done over the last couple of years. It’s been great to play a small part in helping science. At least you eventually got the message through to them. Better late than never.
    19
  243. I can vouch for walking . It helped me leave thoughts of cancer at home. Afternoon walks with my Collie/Shepherd Buddy, distracted me from thinking about the pain in my feet, and tingling hands. Herding and keeping me on our gradually expanding course, along tree-lined urban streets, down winding paths, until gradually, I was strong enough to take the ravine steps all in one go, before resting, taking in the river view. Following my instincts, and my dear Buddy, meant never walking alone, twenty-six years ago.
    19
  244. Disappointed to see that the trolls and bots and hate mongerers have begun to infect your channel too, Tim. Ignore them and keep up your excellent work. Please.
    19
  245. Thanks for the update. Nice to see the team, thanks to all of you for the incredible work you have all been doing.
    18
  246. Great informative podcast with one of my favourite scientist who has the ability to explain what could be a very complex subject in a way that retains my interest and significantly improves my knowledge .I have had 2 different bouts of cancer,from which I have recovered, which interestingly occured soon after 2 very stressful episodes in my life .caught early which is half the battle and 15 years later !!!! trying my upmost to live a healthy life and taking advice from your interesting podcasts .Thankyou
    18
  247. Information on Zoe app and Tim’s weekly updates have been the only sources of information I have trusted since the start of the pandemic. We will continue to log in and offer any support we can.
    18
  248. This was am excellent interview. Dr. William Li gives us good news explained really well with lots of practical suggestions. I have a few of his books, Eat to Beat Disease is a great one. "Health care is what WE do at home".
    18
  249. Congrats- on your OBE, Tim. Thanks for the info on the new virus. And thanks for your team too.
    18
  250. Well done Tim you deserve a great holiday
    18
  251. Thankyou Tim and team zoe, never eat breakfast, glad to hear it's not important. Will continue using your app, love the new health survey, great idea 👍🙋‍♀️🌻xxxxx
    18
  252. Thanks Tim and team, I try to let as many people as possible know about the symptoms on your list,why won't the government take note of your results, they said they would be led by the science!!!
    18
  253. I've found the following simple, low-budget things to be really helpful for GERD: - Deep breathing practice daily (this tones the sphincter he mentioned!) (pick your fav- there are many techniques) - Taking a 10-20 minute walk right before or right after a meal (this helps with stomach emptying and bile flow) - Ensuring that you're getting good quality sleep (important for the gut-brain axis) - Managing stress to the best of your ability (important for the gut-brain axis) :hand-purple-blue-peace:Remember, the gut-brain axis controls the whole gut, including the lower esophageal sphincter and the stomach! Ps. I love that the emphasis is on diet and lifestyle and not on simply demonizing the meds. Sometimes they can be life-saving, but they shouldn't be first-line therapy.
    18
  254. Good idea! Good way of keeping track of one's own health, get a bit of insight, & contribute to wider scientific study.
    18
  255. Love your Black Friday deal.
    18
  256. I love listening to Dr Will Bulsiewicz. He speaks a lot of very good sense with great clarity. Thanks to both of you
    17
  257. Honestly I am currently right now that 60 yr old woman with breast cancer. I absolutely agree. I’ve already purchased a step and doing some resistance training coupled with yoga and Pilates. Thanks for this podcast. You have reinforced what I’ve been advised 🙏
    17
  258. Sadly not unexpected. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do. We will support Zoe as much as we can.
    17
  259. You really are our go to place to get reliable, honest weekly updates on the current situation regarding the pandemic. We would as always like to thank you all fir the tireless support you have provided and fir the important work each and every one of you does.
    17
  260. I hope you get your energy back soon, Tim.
    17
  261. Excellent intro 😁good to see humour, in what is a serious subject. Congrats to all your team for doing a great job. 👍
    17
  262. I have been logging daily since the beginning but it looks like I never wrote down my IBS bloating as one of my daily woes, I am amazed however at how much it has settled down since starting the Big IF (I am about 34 days in). My sleep or rather lack of sleep has improved enormously too. I have extended my participation 4(?) times so far and am willing to keep going as long as you need. I am thinking of trying for an 8 hour eating window as I am finding 9-10 hours fairly easy to do. I think I would like to aim for an earlier window as there seems to be advantages in that. I just read the thing about investing and think even I can manage to get some shares.
    17
  263. Thank you Prof Spector- good news of the lowing number of cases, here in the UK - Let's hope by Spring numbers are minimal 🤞 Thank you for all your, and your team's amazing efforts, as always.
    17
  264. Have been logging since the beginning and will carry on. If I need info I come to the app no.longer watch the news. Thanks 😊🙏
    17
  265. Thank you, I’ll keep reporting as long as you need.
    17
  266. I lost over 2 stone after wearing the glucose monitor and changing my diet as a result, probably out of fear rather than will power. I had no idea what I had been doing to myself. I have no desire to eat the food I used to eat now. Started to eat fermented food also. I feel so much better mentally and physically now. I thought I was just getting old. Thank you so much Zoe although those muffins almost killed me 🤮
    17
  267. Proud to be a contributor. I will continue for sure. Well done everyone involved.
    17
  268. Well done to all the team for getting us through those dark times and giving us the facts.
    17
  269. Thank you all for continuing to push the boundaries with your amazing research. The podcasts are really informative. Logging our daily health is so easy to do and makes us feel we are also making a small contribution as citizen scientists. Happy New Year to everyone involved in Zoe and Thank you again for the work you continue to do
    16
  270. Just Love doctors Like Dr Lee...they Are the Rare ones that Make Medicine So truly Meaningful...Welldone Dr Lee!
    16
  271. Yes, Steve, we have had a lot of rubbish from "experts" and politicians, mostly ones who have adjusted the facts to fit their agenda. What is different about what we get from Zoe is actual experts who know what they are talking about, who have no agenda to follow, and who have the biggest data set in the world, due to the widely-used Zoe app. For once, we get proper information and we are not wasting our time.
    16
  272. I will absolutely keep reporting. Great work by the Zoe team!
    16
  273. Many thanks for this insightful explanation! Would be interesting now to hear Sarah’s take on why butter is so bad for us.
    16
  274. They do retest 6 months later, request it ;)
    16
  275. Thank you so much for this because without you, us vulnerable would have no idea what's going on now.
    16
  276. Thankyou Tim and team zoe, glad your colleagues are having a well deserved holiday 😊 great info and letting us know what to look out for. 🙏🕶🌞🌺xxxxx
    16
  277. Good discussion. I would have liked to see the issue of heavy metals in salmon included in the discussion. That skews the decision of how to eat more toward plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
    16
  278. Jonathon, I'd really appreciate it if you did a podcast on Sodium. Like Christopher said about a researcher being unable to get his subjects' protein intake down to a low target level, I find it impossible to do so with my Sodium intake. I'm concerned after heart bypass surgery, and I'm happy with everything else in my diet, but I cannot get anywhere near recommended levels for Sodium. I think the recommended levels are very low in Australia. If I recall correctly, the recommended minimum here is 460 and the recommended maximum is twice that, 920. I suspect the American CDC has just given up and set their maximum at five times the minimum, 2300.
    15
  279. Listened to the whole segment on the podcast. Do a physical activity everyday that you enjoy whether low intensity or high intensity. Low intensity for I, is stretching, yoga, or pilates. Maybe even light weights (10-15 lbs). My triglycerides are under 60. When time and energy level permits, I prefer AM workouts.
    15
  280. Do get better soon Tim. Keep your fluids up! Hope you bounce back soon. Thank you for the update whilst feeling rotten 🙏
    15
  281. I've noticed lots of people I know getting covid symptoms after having covid positive people around them, but continue to test negative. Anyway, thanks for all your work Tim and team!
    15
  282. Massive fan and supporter here. Keep up the amazing work and thank you! Any news on zoe at-home test kit offered in the UK?
    15
  283. Thanks Tim, I am nervous about joining the studies but have taken the plunge and opted in.
    15
  284. Thank you Tim and everyone at Zoe for your dedication to our health
    15
  285. Merry Xmas Tim, thanks for all the work from you and your team. As always, clear and concise, you really should have been the UK frontline voice through all of this.
    15
  286. ZOE , great invited guest 👏. You have brought scientific knowledge down to the level of the common man. I've always been looking for something like this because I like to learn and improve my life, and here everything is presented in an accessible form. My top
    15
  287. Professor Calder I love you ❤️ And thank you Jonathan and the Zoe team. Sten Ekberg has a video on eating smaller fish like sardines and mackerel to avoid the heavy metals ‘Top 5 best fish you should never eat and 5 you must eat’ 👍
    15
  288. What a great and timely episode. I have been struggling with muscle soreness, tightness and recovery after rib muscle injury. Looking at my own low/non diary duet and can see that my protein levels for me as newly turned 50 year old is insufficient. Thank you for clarifying key points on importance and use of protein. Another quality presentation
    15
  289. Fantastic work and this has been a beacon of light this year. Thank you.
    14
  290. I am already a fan of Dr. Rupuy's DOCTOR'S KITCHEN, but it was only by chance that I came across this video presentation. Thank you for sharing and uploading it on your channel. I will recommend you to other people and I will definitely watch this presentation again.
    14
  291. thank you very much for the information...and your work...appreciate it alot...
    14
  292. I really enjoy your interviews. And really like that you summarize the info.
    14
  293. Thank you Professor Spector- I'm very impressed and pleased to note the Zoe app is now covering the other diseases, illnesses more now, as well as keeping us informed on covid cases too. I have the FFP2 masks now, thanks to your advice, and ill say it helps me breath more easily and gives me the confidence to face public transport - life has to get back to some normality right! I'm so grateful I have this Zoe app and your bulletins to listen too. Much appreciated!
    14
  294. No problem with the sound. Informative podcast. Thanks
    14
  295. Thank you Professor Tim, you’re my idol! I completely trust you. I follow you and your team constantly. My son is still testing positive after 4 weeks with Covid. He has had a liver transplant and the coordinator has told him not to mix still. Once again thank you.
    14
  296. Morning ritual: take medication, shower, contribute to ZOE. So glad to be able to help.
    14
  297. I have been following Zoe for the past 6 months just online but have not yet done the testing etc. I just watch the podcasts and get the Instagram help on meal ideas - my family are eating so much better. Its a game changer. Eating healthy breakfast (around 11am for intermittent fasting) sets the tone for the rest of the day. Eating at least 30 plant based foods per week (+ loads of nuts, seeds, legumes etc.) Tim you'd be proud of us! Even bought good kefir! You guys rock. Keep it coming.
    14
  298. Elf Tim, I'm glad Santa could spare you at his busiest time. Thank you for all your level headed updates through out the year. Merry Christmas.
    14
  299. Looks delicious! Thanks to listening to you on audio books along with others I’m delighted to say that I now eat over 30 plants a week having previously not been a fruit and veg fan. I love my new meals and really love my new found energy and just feeling well! I’m also now a porridge fan so have a bowl each day with chopped apple and pear, fresh blueberries, various spices, raspberries, and mixed seeds. Unfortunately can’t join up for Zoe yet ( I’m in Ireland and hoping we’ll be allowed to sign up once U.K. goes live) but I’d imagine my microbiome was in a sad and depleted state a year ago and that it’s now far happier! 👍🏻
    14
  300. Fascinating
    14
  301. Thank you Jonathan, this interview was great, very informatif and Dr Li is so well spoken, straight to the point. Not boring at all. Thank you Dr. Li. Much appreciated.
    14
  302. Thanks for the hard work Tim, Sarah and Jonathan. Been watching since 2020 and it's fantastic to see the consistency of research continue and charming to see the banter develop between you all.
    13
  303. I love these podcasts/blogs. Such important science being done in such an open and accessible way. Thank you
    13
  304. Dr. Spector is one the very few professionals I recommend to my nutrition clients.
    13
  305. Fantastic interview. Extremely useful information.
    13
  306. Thank you so much for all your hard work this year and for keeping us all so well informed. We really appreciate you! Have a wonderful Christmas.
    13
  307. Oh Tim, I'm so glad your ok, hope you soon feel 100%. Thankyou for the update, always appreciated. Always rely on your honest reliable information. Best wishes 😷🤧😴xxxx
    13
  308. I'm old and unvaccinated. Had Covid in June - 14 days of misery, with classic Influenza symptoms. Completely recovered. I've followed your work since the outset and find your reports most interesting. Thank you.
    13
  309. I'm so grateful you are still monitoring the Covid stats. Many Thanks. 🌸✨🌿✨🌸
    13
  310. I’ve never known seen anyone who is so excellent in summarizing 👏🏻👏🏻
    13
  311. Thanks for doing what you do! 🙂
    13
  312. Big fan and I've contributed for almost all of the pandemic and certainly will continue to log. Really proud and interested in continuing to be a citizen contributor and have already signed up for the studies. Keep up the fantastic work!
    13
  313. Thanks for all your efforts Zoe team 🏅
    13
  314. Welcome back Tim, glad to get an update, we missed you.
    13
  315. Simply wonderful....so much depth of information presented in such an engaging way.....will have to watch again several times. Thank you so much!
    13
  316. Another bad decision by the government. Hope you are able to keep the site going as I find it invaluable for real time data and advise.
    13
  317. I love the hat, Tim! Thank you for helping us all through this pandemic. Your advice has been invaluable, in the face of all sorts of nonsense from Government Ministers. Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope the New Year will bring you, and everyone the world over a better time to come.
    13
  318. The new study tool sounds exciting - a great project which seems to attract many willing contributors!! Thank you for this week's bulletin regarding Covid - I shall continue to be vigilant, wear my mask in crowded places whilst this rise in cases is happening. Glad hospital cases are lowering ........ And Congratulations on the launch of your your new book on nutrition - thats a wonderful achievement 👏. Finally, thank you and your team as always, this is a weekly brief I aim not to miss to get the C-19 data/facts.
    12
  319. First, I just adore this program and the topics you discuss with the leading scientists and how you translate the information into simple terms!! Second, I've heard many times about various drugs negatively affecting the gut biome. I'm curious to know if that also applies to Bio Identical hormones that women take for menopause. And if so, is there any research being done regarding gut biome and menopause? Many thanks!
    12
  320. Thank you to all the Zoe team. Amazing job. Thank you Jonathan for today's report.
    12
  321. Thank you for your dedication and honesty. These are hard times. I'm ashamed of many of the comments I've read from ignorant people who do not seem to know how little they know. Keep up your excellent work.
    12
  322. Great discussion to understand the phisiology of inflammation in our body, must be seen!
    12
  323. This is disappointing regarding your funding. What you are doing with covid research is so very important for moving forward and helping to protect us all. I currently have covid, I'm self employed and sensible. Staying at home until I'm better to protect the vulnerable folk I work for. As a self employed person I can no longer apply for self employment covid sick pay. Not great in these expensive days ahead of us. Stay well and safe everyone. Thank you Tim & the Zoe team 🙏
    12
  324. Thank you to everyone at Zoe as always for the updates. Looking forward to being a part of the wider studies you are proposing to allow you to collect up to date relevant data that can as you have proved with the symptom study app use in a meaningful way. Thank you
    12
  325. Love Tim, but so nice to see the other brilliant zoe team. Loved the reading of Tim's book and the unbuttoning of shirt collar🤣🤣thankyou all at Zoe, much appreciated and we value all your hard work and dedication 🙏💐xxxx
    12
  326. Oh and happy anniversary Tim / Team Zoe ✨❤️☮️
    12
  327. Thank you for helping us navigate through the pandemic
    12
  328. This is why I get the bulk of my calories from organic lentils, and organic quinoa. You won't ever see me eating strawberries by the kilo, but rather I use those "Dirty Dozen" produce items sparingly, to add variety and vitamins to my dry starchy staples.
    12
  329. Congratulations Tim. Well deserved.
    12
  330. What a fantastic informative, affirming video. Great to hear these two people I wish all medical professionals were equally as informed. My son was in a trial for Edinburgh University for using Fodmaps. It works. 2 of my siblings have difficulties with the youngest of 4 of us affected worst. The tools you offer are so accessible, thank you..I’ve forwarded this to my son.
    12
  331. Congratulations on receiving your OBE. Well deserved.<3
    11
  332. Anything we, the public, can do apart from staying with Zoe and writing to Jenny Harries?
    11
  333. My my Phil, you seem to be attracting a lot of anti-vax trolls on this site now. I am very thankful for your site and the straight data you present allowing us (and the trolls) to make an informed decision whether to take the vaccine or to 'risk it' without.
    11
  334. Zoe!! To life! I will definitely stay with Zoe. It's been my go-to for news on statistics and symptoms and I'm keen to go further with the gut health project. I can't believe that funding isn't continuing and I'll certainly do my bit to register my concern with the UKHSA. Keep up your amazing work Tim! 🥰
    11
  335. I have Will's book, Fibre Fuelled, and also listened to his Rich Roll and other podcasts. Since then my family and I have eaten a huge, broad range of fibres each day.
    11
  336. Thank you Team Zoe for excellent information each week
    11
  337. This was brilliant thanks. We know that things like exercise, eating the rainbow, avoiding excessive alcohol are good for us, but it really helps to understand the underlying mechanisms of how these things reduce the risk of dementia. I feel so encouraged by Dr Li and I hope his Mum improves. I’m off for a walk now!
    11
  338. I once spoke to my Naturopath about this. Told her I was sick of trying to work out the best oil. So I just use a bit of all of them. Thanks Johnathon and Sarah. I think the most important thing to take from this is that as long as you're not cooking with them repeatedly you're not going to do significant harm
    11
  339. So glad you launched the app, we will keep using it until it is no longer necessary - roll on that happy day!
    11
  340. I’m SO glad for this app and to you and your statisticians for such accurate work. I’m 76, CEV and immunosuppressed so I really need to know the prevalence etc to keep myself safe. Thank you to us all who keep logging
    11
  341. So glad and grateful that you and the team are working so hard for us all. A massive thank you
    11
  342. Really enjoyed this! Apart from the wonderful recipes I found it rather uplifting! Well done Zoe and Hugh.
    11
  343. Is there a way to sign up to be part of the study? If not, do you have your protocols so I can follow the program by myself?
    10
  344. Thank you for all your calm and sensible advice and information over the last two years. I would be very interested to keep up with all the developments in microbiome research. I would be interested to take part whenever the study expands to Scotland.
    10
  345. Thanks Tim - as always an interesting and informative summary of the situation. I’m sure many people share you frustration with the government, so how about a concerted campaign on TV, radio and social media to get your views across, particularly on symptoms and the re-introduction of masks, etc. I feel we are not seeing this message in the wider media in the way that we should. Just a thought.
    10
  346. You look very smart Tim! Congrats on your OBE (and well done to the team for all their hard work). 😊
    10
  347. Thanks for all your hard work, and continuing to keep us updated.
    10
  348. Great idea. Will help any way I can.
    10
  349. Regular as clockwork. And yes I do feel good when I've been for a poo 💩 😁
    10
  350. Great stuff Prof Tim. Voice of Reason. Appreciated.
    10
  351. Thank you Tim and the team. I report every morning for myself and my family and I'll keep doing that until it isn't needed.
    10
  352. Thank you for this week's brief Prof Spector - I'm wearing my mask on the busy tubes and at busy shops, as note locally colds are prominent out there and see from the Zoe app that Covid is rising fast too. I wish to be well this Christmas season if possible ! Will aim to watch my diet over Christmas as per your tips,,more plants, dark chocolate etc. - sadly not a fan of red wine generally ,however I'm partial to a glass the festive season's mulled wine! 😊 Always great to listen to your brief and I appreciate you and your team's super efforts with the studies currently taking place.
    10
  353. Thank you Tim for all your doing with your team I'm looking forward to all the new aspects of the study
    10
  354. Dancing never seems to get mentioned, why is that? It is a great form of exercise. It combines aerobic and balance exercise. If you do a structured form of dancing like partner or line dancing where new moves or routines are continually practiced, it's also great for the brain. It also provides social connection and a great way of meeting new people whilst exercising. The benefits of dancing needs more research and publicity.
    10
  355. Really useful explanation- hadn’t realised I could take lactase when I want to eat ice cream etc!
    10
  356. Fun conversation, guys! :) I too could talk about/listen to poop discussions all day long - so incredibly important!
    10
  357. Congratulations Tim,well deserved.

  358. Tim 🤗 this is heartwarming & I'll be trying this delicious recipe (using homemade kefir)😋

  359. Top man prof

  360. I run 5k 3 times a week during lunchtime. I always put my earphones on, zoe podcast is my favourite! 😊
    9
  361. A superb effort by everyone concerned!

  362. Lovely to see the rest of the team and thank you for a clear, informative post. Also, I really think Tim could do with a nice plant for his next appearance ! 🌿🌿Thanks team Zoe 👍👍
    9
  363. This is SO very exciting. I am already an app user and will be staying in.
    9
  364. Many thanks professor Tim to you and all your team at Zoe for the hard work you all put in to keep us informed and updated . I look forward to seeing your videos and seeing the latest updates in England . God Bless you and all in the Team

  365. We need Zoe to keep us updated ..the government are yet again making a huge mistake by not backing you , But I want to say a massive thank you for everything you all have done and I will continue to support you
    9
  366. What a beautiful, upbeat video. Bravo to the producers and the animators.
    9
  367. Thank you for a very interesting dialogue. Am happy to hear the importance of excercise. Having a bowel cancer op this morning, and will get walking later today.
    9
  368. Thankyou Tim for a really interesting update as always.very encouraging this week let's hope it continues this way.i always like how honest you are and no messing around 👍
    9
  369. I think you need a booster Tim, already. Tan booster that is 😉
    9
  370. Thanks Tim as always!
    9
  371. Thank you Tim and the entire Zoe team. Your videos and podcasts have been invaluable to me since joining the Zoe family earlier this year. Would it be possible to do a study on how a woman's gut microbiome changes during the perimenopause? My metabolism has completely changed during the perimenopause and there are lots of healthy plant based foods (e.g. nuts, seeds, pulses, mushrooms, garlic, tomatoes, coffee) that I can no longer tolerate.
    9
  372. Will continue to support Zoe as welcome the very clear and concise info from Tim and the team. Well done Zoe. Thanks
    9
  373. Finally. Well done Tim. I felt like the lack of response from the NHS . After pointing out on the comments and in questions that Covid symptoms list was still inaccurate. Needed updating. I can't believe it took two years. Knowing many of us highlighted it.
    9
  374. Thank you Tim and all your colleagues at Kings College. I stopped watching the government messaging on Covid once the study had started. Really appreciated the calm, clear information. Now over 150 days on IF and have experienced many benefits!
    9
  375. Thank you Zoe for yet another excellent podcast. I'm reading The Secret Body by Daniel M Davis, really fascinating, and have just reached the chapter on the brain, so I'll see if there are any links to this podcast.
    9
  376. Congratulations Tim , on your OBE well deserved x
    9
  377. My bloating really got better in the first couple of weeks of the Big IF as did my sleep, mood and energy. Unfortunately I hadn't logged some of my IBS symptoms beforehand as it wasn't EVERY day I felt like that, same with my insomnia. Obviously I can't log them in retrospect but I will make sure you have the whole picture when the Gut Health study starts. I am loving the result of keeping my eating to a 9-10 hour window as it comes quite naturally to me and I'm on day 60 something of the Big IF but intend to keep on, maybe even aiming for 8-9 hours if I can and maybe cut some calories at the same time. I have felt revitalised since week 2 of the study! Anyone who hasn't joined yet, I didn't think there would be so many positive results from what is easy and painless to do, if you're thinking about it, do it, it's one of the best things I have done! Happy New Year and a healthy, prosperous 23 to you and all my fellow Zoe loggers.
    9
  378. Look forward to the studies. For all non scientists amongst us, participating is one way, maybe the only way, we can help advance knowledge that is the precursor to medical advances.
    9
  379. Congratulations Tim, Well deserved 👏🏼
    9
  380. Great that you are building on the COVID symptom study. Well done!
    9
  381. Great work team. Best wish's to the whole team from New Zealand.
    9
  382. So interesting! Currently struggling with high blood triglycerides and I haven't seen this information anywhere else at all. Going to get on the treadmill now - thank you so much!
    9
  383. Hi, I will continue with Zoe. It's been an invaluable source of factual, relevant, understandable, well presented information during the Pandemic ( & no Government spin). The decision to end the funding is very shortsighted, disappointing, and counterproductive; I'll be writing to Jenny Harries. I'd be willing to donate to the Zoe study - had you thought about crowdsourcing or is that not something that can be done (i.e study subjects donating money). Thank you Tim and team for keeping it going.
    9
  384. Excellent questions & most informative answers...!
    9
  385. Be prepared for family resistance! Not just from your seriously over sanitized parts of the family but the more experimental members. I took my home made green tea kombucha and kefir to a shared holiday house this summer and nobody would even try the kombucha, which is mildly fizzy drink!
    9
  386. You were great. Thanks 😊
    9
  387. Delighted to be part of something so important the health of all of us.. Fantastic results and amazing to know that I played a part.
    9
  388. Thanks for the info. as always.Great to have this facility
    9
  389. Never a truer word spoken that the Zoe nutritional programme changes your whole attitude to eating, forever.
    9
  390. This was excellent! Thank you!
    9
  391. Loved meeting the team. Thanks to everyone at Zoe and KCL.
    9
  392. I love listening to experts like this. It just confirms to me that I’m in the right line of work at the right time. 😊
    9
  393. Thank-you especially for the graph, which really clarifies the comparison
    9
  394. Thank you that was really awesome. I do not need this treatment as I have been able to use my change in diet with intermittent fasting (lost 50lbs 2021 no medication) and eating to keep my type 2 diabetes in remission. I do have so many friends who cannot do what I did, but if they had the systemic pain I had; I had a choice of one! This VID is the best information great answers, and I will be passing it on to my many friends and colleagues who are struggling.

  395. Love to join the BP study as I have just been diagnosed with high BP. I am a daily reporter on the app thanks
    8
  396. Great discussion. Dr William Li……. You are always a joy to listen too….. you bring great wisdom and understanding to all aspects of health. Much like Jonathan… I struggle to get my parents-in-law to believe that there is a correlation between diet and lifestyle which is so sad. I nursed my Mum through dementia and my Dad with heart disease. Diet and lifestyle seems to dismissed by conventional medicine and pharmaceuticals prescribed instead. We need more Dr Li’s in this world….. keep educating and planting these seeds. Also thank ZOE for bring a wealth of experts to our attention.
    8
  397. Happy Birthday🍰🥑🥦🥬🥕🌶🍆🍊🍐🫐🧅🍠🌽🧄

  398. Thank you so much for remembering those we have lost along the way to Covid.
    8
  399. I eat a massive salad for breakfast. It takes me over 1 hour to make it but it has tofu brussel sprouts broccoli all kinds of spices and about 15 to 20 different vegetables. I throw that into a whole grain tortilla with a tiny bit of meat. During the day I eat all kinds of fruits Etc. I'm 72 years old and the last time I went for a medical checkup was almost 50 years ago. I don't even renew my health card and I exercise 4 to 5 days a week since I was a teenager.
    8
  400. Thanks. I will certainly keep you updated
    8
  401. The results are not surprising to me other than the less hungry part. This is important and impressive work. Hoping that the data will be available for other scientists to conduct secondary analyses..
    8
  402. Very excited for this one, as a savorer and lover of craft, single origin chocolate 😋🍫 Eating smaller quantities (that you really appreciate the complexity of) helps to offset the cost vs mass produced, lower tier chocolates that have too much sugar and fillers. It's an affordable luxury. There's huge overlap with the tasting notes of coffees (I also love coffee). Dark chocolate is a also a great source of minerals like magnesium and trace minerals. 70% cacao is the sweet spot for me, though some people enjoy the higher percentages more (I do only on occasion).
    8
  403. First! Yahoo! (helps the YT algorithm) Thanks for putting the app, out there, a good thing & helpful, too. Love that we can get very recent results.
    8
  404. Thank you Tim and the team for all your hard work. I’m also really interested in learning more and being involved in the other health studies. Keep up the good work! 😁
    8
  405. great news: #TimHasWit. Yes, do take up his Black Friday special 95% off covid risk with your booster.
    8
  406. Very impressive to know about the foundation of the company. Innovative and trustworthy. I have been very happy to give my data to Zoe. Can not wait to see what the future holds for Zoe and participants.
    8
  407. This is a much improved commentary. More interpretation of the data and less opinion. Thank you for your objectivity.
    8
  408. Thankyou Tim once again for this week's very interesting update not all good news but I think it was expected. But I do like the way you tell it as it is no rubbish as we hear from other places 😊
    8
  409. When I went vegan three years ago I had to relearn to cook basically and found lots of lovely new recipes. My favourite is chickpea tuna 😋 I like to think I'm healthier now but who knows lol
    8
  410. Tim Spector and JVT deserve a knighthood for their work in this field.
    8
  411. Keep up the excellent research that you are doing and thanks for the amazingly clear updates during the pandemic (and beyond!).
    8
  412. Thanks to you and the whole ZOE team, invaluable and trusted source of information, have a great break and great Christmas. I will be watching the best carry on movie: Carry on logging!
    7
  413. Thank you this has been a beacon of light in these dark times, I report for myself and my hubby and will keep doing so as long as you need me to x
    7
  414. I log daily too. The app is brilliant and it’s nice to make a small contribution to all the work that scientists are doing to keep us safe. Thank you for the consistent information & advice. Happy New Year.
    7
  415. Thank you Tim and colleagues for working so hard for us over the past year. I trust your information too as others have commented.
    7
  416. Thank you, very much, Zoe team. Greatly appreciated! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
    7
  417. Always good info, thanks for doing what you do! 🙂
    7
  418. Wonderful information both. My mother has Parkinson’s and I am very interested in helping her remain well - I see that nutrition is very important. Very interesting how the heart affects the brain! Fascinating.
    7
  419. This 7 min video, has been more informative than ANY I have watched recently. Thanks for sharing.
    7
  420. Zoe does offer retesting now
    7
  421. Valuable information! Thank you so much! I am psychotherapist and clinical nutritionist. I bring food and lifestyle always into my work with clients.
    7
  422. The government is being very short sighted in removing Zoe funding. Your reports have been my go to for sensible non sensationalist information throughout the pandemic. I will definitely be staying for life. Thank you for your work and for not giving up.
    7
  423. Fascinating pod cast. Please do a longer and more detailed one on this subject.
    7
  424. So glad I have you talking completely honestly each week and that you show how the gov doesn’t want to tell it as it truly is. Thank you .
    7
  425. You amazing guys n girls at team Zoe have turned me into a complete data geek over the past couple of years! I’m now officially addicted to data! Keep doing your amazing research guys n girls. We appreciate you all 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
    7
  426. Not sure if this is practical, but, if you live anywhere near a humane society or other rescue group, even if you only do it on weekends, there are many, many dogs who do not get walked/run because there are not enough people to do it. I am sure they would be grateful for people to walk their dogs!
    7
  427. Thanks again for the info helps enormously.
    7
  428. There's fermentable and non-fermentable fiber. Broadly speaking, fermentable fiber is broken down by microbes in your gut, and non-fermentable passes through and helps with the physical properties of stool. Both have different benefits.
    7
  429. Great podcast! I’ve never enjoyed exercising but understand the importance of it. Any tips on lowering my blood glucose/lipids are always welcome! I did the Zoe test and have poor responses to glucose and fats. Thanks! 😊
    7
  430. Excellent. Thank you for all the helpful information.
    7
  431. What a great idea! Tim you talk about food so much it’s fun to see you actually cooking.
    7
  432. Thank you for your updates Zoe Team and Prof Tim!
    7
  433. I learned a new word from this video: "nutribollocks"
    7
  434. Thanks Tim and team zoe, excellent report as always 👍🙏💐xxxx
    7
  435. Disappointing news about funding. Fingers crossed that you will find funding from another source. I will be staying with Zoe.
    7
  436. fantastic video, thank you
    7
  437. Finally we see the recent Zoe Covid study symptoms list on BBC news app. Great! Well done all of us. Thank you.
    7
  438. Silent systemic (lowgrade) inflammation is alarming! I love that Professor Calder highlighted the effect of Omega 3! I work with a Scandinavian Personalised Nutrition Company who really emphasise the importance of Omega 3 in the role of healthy cells. They have produced a vegan oil too...and it's a best seller!
    7
  439. Thank you for this video! There is an omicron surge at my son's school in South West London and I was confused with the government's data. Also congratulations on the book. Well-deserved success! I'm currently listening to it via the audible app.
    7
  440. Very informative. Thank you.
    7
  441. Thanks for all your fantastic videos, Zoe team! Do you have any plans to discuss the oral microbiome in 2023? Please consider this a request to do so! Thanks.
    7
  442. Thank you to all at Zoe for all your life changing work in 2022 and I am looking forward to joining more of your research studies in 2033
    7
  443. Really hope your able to continue, this app has been marvellous and I'm gutted. Please don't leave us, hope there's something your users can do????? Very sad 😔 😢😢xxx
    7
  444. For me, logging into the app each day to log my symptoms, was as important as following the government advice. It was a small part I could play. Plus it was thanks to the app, that I discovered I had COVID, when I was quite unwell in May. I didn't have any of the three main symptoms intially (I lost taste and smell towards the end, for some reason!), but the symptoms I logged led ZOE to recommend I get tested, and sure enough I had COVID. That taught me a valuable lesson, that every person really does experience the virus differently, as I'd dismissed my symptoms as a bug. Thank you to the whole team for your incredible work. I'll keep logging in as long as you need me to.
    7
  445. Looks delicious. Perfect for our hot weather. Thank you.
    7
  446. I've been using this app since day one - should we continue to record our health through it now that C-19 seems to have taken a back seat and the majority are now vaccinated ?
    7
  447. Thank you for all your hard work. 😃
    7
  448. Thanks Tim much appreciated for the updates just managed to get a few packs of LFT tests for care home visits Thanks once again
    7
  449. I’ll always listen to elf tips from you Tim. Happy Christmas 🎄
    6
  450. What a fascinating conversation
    6
  451. UK date?
    6
  452. Many thanks for keeping us informed 👍🏻
    6
  453. I love your videos and I have just gone and fetched a handful of nuts.
    6
  454. Thank you team Zoe and Prof Tim for your hard work and dedication on the study of this virus this last year. The first thing I do each morning when I wake up is to log in to the Zoe app after I have realised the pandemic is real and not a bad dream. Unfortunately we are all living the nightmare everyday. I urge everyone to listen to BBC 5 Live interview with Prof Hugh Montgomery. "People without masks have blood on their hands." He is absolutely right. The virus is spreading due to people's actions.......or in-actions depending on which side of the mask equation you're on. BBC 5 Live here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018 Thank you. Have a safe and quiet New Year everyone.
    6
  455. Now that has made me smile, love the glasses 🤓
    6
  456. I used to teach Sociology of Science as a belief system. Nutritional science was a gift as an example Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions. So many nutritional theories around looking for the dominant position, but gut health is the one I’m really interested in because I have Crohn’s disease which, I’m proud to say, I’ve managed for over 40 years with diet so I’m extremely lucky not to have had to take steroids. I love listening to a podcast while I’m working so will look out for it. Thanks. 👏🏻
    6
  457. Well done Tim on your OBE. Thank goodness for you and Zoe
    6
  458. Watching from New Zealand. I am a great fan and wish we could have Zoe here.
    6
  459. This should be interesting, as with all Zoe information.x
    6
  460. Hope you see your Mum very soon Tim 😊 thankyou as always, excellent info from you and your excellent team 👏 😀 👍 xxxxxx
    6
  461. Wow, thank you very much for a very informative high quality video.
    6
  462. Many thanks again. A voice of reason keeping me sane. Get well soon
    6
  463. The one video i was looking forward! I wish i could have been selected for the USA study because my doctors didn't even think about my hormonal changes . Of course I am clueless about what to expect but I recently came to conclusion that my problems/symptoms are perimenopause
    6
  464. Thank you as always Tim and team Zoe 👍☮️
    6
  465. Thanks for all your work with COVID, the various YT channels following the sport of COVID CASES have done well and I wish everyone great success to their next business adventures.
    6
  466. It’s for life I’m amazed at the difference I feel, I only wish GPs would get more onboard they have failed me telling me my chronic tiredness is a result of age and RA medication for years. Thank goodness for research and Zoe 🙏🏻🙌❤️onward and upward 🚀
    6
  467. A happy new year to you, your family and team.
    6
  468. I regularly buy frozen organic berries from Waitrose, which I'll eat every day with organic natural yoghurt, rye flakes, cacao nibs and cold milled seeds. A super nutritious organic meal that's good for blood sugar.
    6
  469. Always treasure Dr. Li's explanations on various health issues. Bought both of his books and have been able to enhance my quality of life by introducing foods that will benefit the body.
    6
  470. Wishing you well very soon thanks for always informing us 🙏♥️🦋
    6
  471. Thank you for the very clear data, helps my husband and myself stay calm in the midst of this chaos.
    6
  472. Thanks for everything, Professor Tim + team. You’ve been such a reliable source of the truth for so long. I’ll miss your weekly updates, but look forward to the fortnightly ones! It’s great that you’re all looking at other areas of our health,, challenging the status quo, + long may ZOE continue 👍
    6
  473. Thank you Prof Spector!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
    6
  474. Thanks Tim much appreciated 👍
    6
  475. Exactly my question. Thanks for the info!
    6
  476. Best Zoe episode to date. Absolutely crucial and fascinating! Maybe Zoe could look at measuring inflammation in future versions and incorporating this in the results?
    6
  477. This is really exciting!
    5
  478. Congrats on your Tech for good award yesterday.
    5
  479. How very disapointing for you all!!😔 I feel extremely disappointed that all your hard scientific work could come to an end. I log my symptoms into zoe everyday & listen to Tim's videos every week as well as the amazing seminars run by the most fantasic scientists. You & John Cambell have kept me sane throughout these extremely trying months & helped me understand & cope with this pandemic. I will definately keep using Zoe without a doubt. Thank you for all you do. I have learnt so much as a lay person. Good luck!!
    5
  480. Very glad to hear your recovering 😊
    5
  481. Excellent as usual thank you ZOE
    5
  482. Some great insights in this video and in particular the studies discussed. With the spotlight on public health at the moment. Personalisation is key, every individual is biochemically unique and they should listen to their bodies and adapt and biohack accordingly. I really like how Dr Gardner talks about food in a positive and joyful way - this is what food should be - an enjoyable experience - the gut brain axis is important to consider.
    5
  483. I know that I keep saying when are you going to offer Zoe in Australian. Come on Tim you grew up in Melbourne !
    5
  484. Thank you. Congratulations on your OBE. Very well-deserved.
    5
  485. Thankyou Tim I'm in ☺
    5
  486. Congragulations on your OBE very well deserved to all.
    5
  487. 3:40 sweet potato is an amazing vegetable; incredibly versatile and tasty!
    5
  488. Great work by the Zoe team and all the contributors. I tried to report my positive LFT via the NHS website today and found it to be a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s as if the government doesn’t want to know.
    5
  489. My days and knowledge are so much richer now thank you Tim and Zoe x
    5
  490. Thanks again Tim very interesting 👍
    5
  491. Thanks Tim, I am nervous about joining the studies but have taken the plunge and opted in.
    5
  492. Joined the waitlist. Can’t wait.
    5
  493. Thank you for keeping us updated. Much appreciated
    5
  494. Thanks Tim much appreciated 👍
    5
  495. P.s. thank you for the really sound advice and information coming from Zoe. I have benefited hugely and will always be grateful for the knowledge I have gained
    5
  496. I have the book - and have even read it! However, it was great to have this chapter narrated by Tim, thank you. I am on the Zoe programme (daughter joining in March), and I am finding it fascinating. Love cooking and experimenting with food and this has given me the impetus to do more of it.
    5
  497. Thank you Zoe’s team, I wish you do more coverage for blood cancer survivors , best diet, exercise…..again, good job.
    5
  498. Had my 5th jag yesterday. Covid is rising in Scotland, but you wouldn't know from the mainstream press. Nurse told me it was still falling until I corrected him. He was genuinely surprised.
    5
  499. 7 day isolation for essential workers is a great idea! As is the idea of stopping contact tracing. Thank you for your excellent information and advice. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the staff at Zoe!
    5
  500. I'd like to add my thanks too. You and Dr John Campbell have been the voices of truth, reason and sanity in all this.
    5
  501. Joined the wait list awhile back but rejoined again just in case I forgot if I actually did.
    5
  502. I just have to say...it was funny when the host said he can't get his head around all the blood vessels that are in his brain! 😋
    5
  503. This episode is like a reboot of my effort to maintain health,thank you .
    5
  504. This was a real good informative video , thanks❤❤
    5
  505. I signed up this morning, glad to be able to help.
    5
  506. I am literally sat here eating wall nuts then I saw your video come up!
    5
  507. Thank you so much Tim, and thank you to your team. The ZOE Covid Study has been the only reliable, credible source of information for me during this pandemic, and it's really helped to feel like someone is thinking clearly. Have a lovely Christmas!
    5
  508. I started on the study in January and have slowly been adjusting to the whole regime and tests. I have been pretty methodical in recording my daily diet. Bottom line is I started to move out of 'just in pre diabetes' to lower glucose scores and won't know till I have a blood test BUT I no longer get any glucose spikes, have consistently good energy at 66, eat a very varied and fun diet. Basically I feel really well and also have no colitis flares - another reason for doing it. For me it's been quite slow and subtle but I love the results and being part of a scientific study that is helping us understand health mgt better.
    5
  509. Fantastic let us all do It!
    5
  510. Thanks, Zoe team, for evolving your studies into other areas. Have a Happy New Year to you all.
    5
  511. The future sounds very exciting...
    5
  512. I’m waiting in anticipation too. I want to get started.
    5
  513. A nice conversation and a lot of questions! But thanks❤️❤️❤️
    5
  514. Such an interesting discussion- thank you 😊
    5
  515. Really informative and helpful blog for all coffee drinkers, and doubters, thank you for doing this :))
    5
  516. I will be an early adopter of Zoe in the UK. I'm certain of it. Edit: and I'm subscribed to some of the health studues too.
    5
  517. Thank you so much for all the interesting and useful information. Btw why is the last chapter not in the chapter list 😅
    5
  518. Thank you Tim, great info as always.
    5
  519. Thank you for all the Covid work. My goodness, 3 years flew by!!
    4
  520. Thank you Dr. Tim Spector again. Very happy for thegraphs of Covid and especially on snacking!
    4
  521. Brilliant video. Fantastic to see the team. Thank you to the whole team for all of your amazing work. 🙂
    4
  522. Thanks for your team’s huge efforts during Covid. It was so valuable that I’ve become a fan. I’m excited to contribute to health research and enjoy the podcasts and emails. I’m also raving to anyone who’ll listen about “Spoon Fed.” Highly recommend.
    4
  523. Thank you Claire 😊
    4
  524. Thank you Zoe. Thank you. Thank you.
    4
  525. You cover very interesting topics but it would be better if the were half the length. Make it more dynamic, short, vibrant!
    4
  526. Eric is fantastic.Thanks for a great discussion.
    4
  527. 👏
    4
  528. Great idea - i have felt very ignorant until ZOE Health study appeared. This is The best way of finding out - ask a nation. What speed we can now discover data that the experts and ourselves can use.
    4
  529. "Nutribollocks" Brilliant! My favourite new word for 2023
    4
  530. Love the Zoe approach- have been on it for a year and recommend to everyone 😊. Thankfully I don’t have a sweet tooth but did always enjoy the odd sweet treat - nowadays it tastes awful so thankful for that and thank you Zoe ❤
    4
  531. Good to be introduced to the Zoe team and hear the role they play. Keep up the good work
    4
  532. Thanks Tim for a great health summary delivered at a good pace: if only politicians wanted to do this.
    4
  533. I LOVE dr William Li. I bought his book and I feel great.
    4
  534. Is this an ad ? there was no explanation of who they are or why they are here?
    4
  535. I'll send this to my mother

  546. Thank you for all the work you both do! It was really great meeting Dr. Li last year at the Women's Health Conference in Newport. I'm so grateful to be able to learn and share the benefits of plant based eating and exercise with others. Keep up the good work!

  547. Same here. I'm just hoping I can afford it.

  557.  @joinZOE  Alas, I think this is actually a very sarcastic response from someone who doesn't actually know what Zoe is offering (or that you all give away basically all you've learned for free on your channel), and who is trying to gather clicks to his own channel by posting from that small account to a much larger account. (Comms team, you're doing great!)
    3
  558. I feel that I wouldn’t be able to stick to the Testing etc., so don’t want to go down that route. However, I’ve listened to nearly all of their podcasts and follow a lot of their advice. I try to buy Organic, it can be expensive but I eat a little bit less and grow veg and fruit at home. I don’t buy UPFoods, don’t feel the need to snack and it’s 4 months since I tasted a Crisp, even though I love them. I also make my own Greek style Yoghurt, Sauerkraut and Kefir. I read food labels and as an active 81 yr old, I feel very well on it and intend to keep it up as long as I can. Thank you Zoe team.
    3
  559. When I first came across Dr Rupy I bought three of his books with Tim I bought a four book (amazon) deal (not read the twins one yet) I will now get Ruby's 4th thus evening up the score, maybe this is what my retirement is about? I'm certainly learning more of the 'various' different cultural basics and loving it and yes eating less meat and fish. Great to see you three together. losing potatoes, bread and pasta is really difficult for me though, instead of a fillet steak they are my new guilty occasional pleasures, how things change?
    3
  560. I have been on the Zoe Nutrition plan for over 12 months now. I have naturally lost weight, gained more energy, have clearer skin, reduced my UPF intake to at least less than 5%, all things as a result of knowing and understanding my own personal responses to foods. Amazing, changed my life and improved my health no end! 💛

  561. Great to meet the team! 👌🏽🎉

  578. I support the ZOE COVID Study 100% and have written to Dr Harries to say so. Thank you so much for all the passion and dedication and for being a light in the darkness; my sanity, and that of many people I know, has been held together throughout the pandemic by your clarity and transparency.

  579. Feel better soon

  580. Zoe has been the most informative and accurate source of everything to do with covid. It beggars believe that the government is so short sighted, although it comes as no surprise. Through Zoe millions have benefited. Zoe is by far the most accurate source of covid information, possibly in the world. Zoe has helped millions and saved the lives of thousands through the constant research based on the input from over 4,5 million supporters. After two years I trust Zoe, as for the government I don’t believe most of what come from that source. May I suggest the the supporters of Zoe agree to contribute a small sum monthly to keep Zoe going, not just for covid but to help the new research projects which Zoe has introduced. I’m appalled that the British government is so short sighted with regard to the health of the nation. Having heard it said that certain politicians don’t bother about the elderly and critically ill, as they will die anyway, it comes as no surprise that the government will stop financial support for an organisation, the prime aim of which is to help the health of everyone, irrespective of age or health.

  581. Thank you for the great informative video..Have a happy new year everyone!👍

  582. very nice

  583. This trial has been invaluable for many reasons, not least a source of common sense and information when news reports and other commentary was so sensationalist it was difficult not to be absolutely frightened to death. So this study has been good for mental health in providing measured, factual information. To remove funding is so short sighted, except I don’t suppose we should be surprised. I will continue to sort the app and the work and will send the relevant email to the appropriate authority. Keep going Zoe……..

  584. Great podcast thanks very much

  588. Thank you so much ,can’t wait for Zoe to come to Canada meanwhile I am learning so much from the resources .The music is very distracting ♥️
    3
  589. Thank you simply explained
    3
  590. The study that keeps on giving. Very exciting stuff. Being able to focus on and monitor specific bacteria will really help people's motivation sticking to a good diet. Can't wait to join up.
    3
  591. I love your Zoe podcasts and have no hesitation in following your advice. Would never follow NHS guidelines as they are hopelessly out of date.
    3
  592. Ha ha! That's what I did ;)
    3
  593. A wonderful explanation thank you.

  594. I love Dr Li's imagery. I'm off to the library to borrow "Eat to Beat Disease" now.

  595. Johnathan about tofu you can try seasoning with soya sauce, sesame oil and five spices before grill or baked in oven till they’re drier! I do this and my granddaughter will just eat like finger food for her protein!❤

  596. Thank you Tim and team Zoe for giving us the opportunity to participate and providing us with the opportunity to daily report symptoms, donate, sign up to the vaccine register and feel that in some way we were helping the ‘ science’ (and therefore giving us a sense of worth at a time when we felt things were getting out of control). Happy New Year to you all and I look forward to the next chapter when we can all help with vaccine reporting. I am somewhat confused about the Astra Zeneca 1/2 dose then full dose being of better efficacy than full dose, full dose .......then UK government opts for full dose, full dose. Unfortunately there have been some disappointing options taken by our government and I hope to god that this is not yet another because this is completely outside of my control. 🤔 for example I took to wearing a face-mask, whilst we were still being told, it wouldn’t help. Stayed away from public areas, etc when restrictions were eased, but I have no control over what dose vaccine I will be given (however, I won’t refuse any vaccine). Thank you again 👍🌟☮️ grand job, I hope that you are all proud of your achievements 😉
    3
  597. My goodness Tim, your hairs grown and you look soo much younger and definitely prettier, please let us know what you have been taking as I'm sure most of us could definitely use it. Happy New Year to all the Zoe team
    3
  598. Thank you so much Jonathan for your clear and helpful overview of the Zoe system and the introduction to the faces behind all that hard work. It is a marvellous accomplishment and lots of us are very grateful you exist. Hope Tim is having a rest. He was beginning to look and sound tired!

  602. What a lovely man! Great to see the Zoe team aswel. Thank you for all your hard work these last 16 month. I’ve been logging for me and my family from day 1 and will carry on doing so. I’m interested in your research regarding the gut, I’ll look into that.
    3
  603. Thanks for the “todays test” button 🤩

  604. PS. But we still love Tim! You’re both excellent.

  610. Excellent interview. Great guest.

  611. Excited for this one!!
    3
  612. Thanks Tim, you really are a breath of fresh air in a world that seems to be in denial! Having started to get around more I am amazed how many elderly people are not wearing masks any more. I always wear an FFP2 mask indoors in public places or public transport and so far have remained Covid free. Admittedly I am retired and so have the choice to avoid situations but I fear that so many people are just unaware of the problem. You have certainly done your bit to help and I continue to try and inform others but sadly many people are in denial 😟. Keep up the great work😀

  613. I'm from Australia as well. Is the program only available to people in the UK?
    3
  614. LOL!! this intro was great
    3
  615. Thank you Tim's Team! I will carry on reporting as long as is needed!
    3
  616. Thank you very much for sharing all these information. It is like an anatomy and physiology class. May the Lord bless you and your work and help us listeners to take care of our bodies better for long, healthy productive lives.

  617. Great tips and those chocolate buns look amazing!

  618. Congratulations and thanks to all the folks working hard to make Zoe happen and stay ahead of it all. Proud to be one of the daily contributors.

  619. I love these videos. I’ve learned so many things about health. Thank you ❤
    2
  620. I am a Zoe member for a second season and finding recording every detail of every meal tedious - so I’ve stopped doing it! Nevertheless the knowledge gained through the program is totally beneficial. I have reduced weight from 92k to 75k, waistband by 5” and, at 87, consider myself quite fit. The Zoe team is/are brilliant.
    2
  621. Excellent ❤
    2
  622. Sending this video to my wife ASAP.
    2
  623. Congratulations on the OBE, Tim. Really like your videos. Please turn up the sound volume please.
    2
  624. I watched the whole thing. Great show. Thank you.
    2
  625. The team all look younger than my children. Well done! I really appreciate your work.
    2
  626. I echo what several others have said. Logging into Zoe is a daily routine that provides some stability and structure to these shapeless days of isolation. I am a retired doctor and volunteered to go back to work to help in the pandemic, but don’t seem to be wanted. I have felt anxious and helpless, but the Zoe app makes me feel that I am contributing at least something toward the health of the nation.
    2
  627. Great work to Tim and the team. It feels like I'm making a contribution, however small and sense that I get more up to date and accurate information via you and the app. Keep up the good work through the next set of darkish days.
    2
  628. So interesting! Thanks a lot for sharing!😊
    2
  629. Loving the updates on the IF study. Thank you! I can do it much easier with Zoe than on my own.
    2
  630. Well done Tim and team Zoe…. I had to check the NHS site to make sure…finally! How many days did that take.
    2
  631. With Zoe now and into the future. Thank you Team ZOE for all your hard work.
    2
  632. Love Dr Li, this is one of my favourite podcasts, I love the way he explains things making it easy for everyone to understand. My dad had Alzheimer’s and my mother had dementia so it’s of such importance for me to learn all I can about the disease
    2
  633. Thanks Tim and all the team for being a trusted source of information in these confusing times. I log on first thing every morning and it's great to feel that I am making some contribution to the fight against this blasted virus, even if it is only a tiny contribution. Keep up the good work for all our sakes. Happy New Year everyone!
    2
  634. Once again thankyou Tim so pleased the government have finally listened to you . 😊
    2
  635. This video made me tear up... what a year we all had...and how grateful I feel to everyone who worked hard to find treatments and vaccines to help us. 💖💖💖
    2
  636. This is very exciting! Congrats!😊
    2
  637. Dr John Campbell you tube channel made me aware of this app. He refers to it on his channel alot. I've reported every day for my family parents and grandparents. So every age covered haha. Only time I missed was when on holiday in Scotland and forgot. Thanks team Zoe for all your hard work!
    2
  638. Excellent info as always. Ever grateful to you and your team of trusted experts
    2
  639. Awesome video, thank you.
    2
  640. I am very grateful to the Doctor for sharing so I can understand: What happens inside our brain while we sleep. I will synthesize and share this knowledge with viewers on my channel. Many thanks to Zoe and Doctor!
    2
  641. I’m a Psychotherapist and forward your podcasts/videos to many of my clients
    2
  642. This comment has made my day! I have signed up for Zoe but am not starting until next week. However I have long covid and I've been very worried about whether what zoe says and does will align to my need. So thanks for this!
    2
  643. The Zoe app has been the most important source of unbiased, accurate and sensible information throughout the pandemic and it should remain funded. Balanced views, scientifically researched data and reassuring information are the mainstays of the King’s College research. I shall be writing to my MP to urge continued funding for Zoe to allow massive savings for the NHS as a result of Zoe’s long term research findings. Thank you all in the team. You certainly have my and my family’s support
    2
  644. Excellent!!! Actually I learned amazing things with Dr WL about pós covid issues . So thankful 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
    2
  645. Hopefully you will be able to tell from your digestive system. Less bloating, regular bowel movements etc. Try it and see if you notice an improvement :)
    2
  646. Thank you for another informative update.
    2
  647. Yes, there has been a re-test. Blood sugar and fat control responses hadn’t improved but wow, a gut biom score of 91 even outranks Tim 🎉
    2
  648. I to am so sorry to hear your funding is being stopped. I have found your information the most accurate and upto date and have encouraged all my family to join. Good luck for the future. 🌈
    2
  649. Thank you for your consistent and very helpful videos. Very much appreciated ..whenever you are .

  651. Thanks for sharing information. Appreciate from the bottom of my heart.
    2
  652. I am proud to have been with Zoe since they started last March . I have signed in every day and I thank sincerely Tim and the Team xxx
    2
  653. So shortsighted and uncaring which is not sadly surprising by this government. The work of Zoe is transformational for the health of our people and the people of the world. We are used to a quick fix mentality, and whatever is profitable- so sad, but true. Keep going and let’s find the visionaries who will fund this essential work. Thank you for everything you have done to date- its inspirational and will change the way we look at our health.
    2
  654. Once again, very useful information. Thanks 🌱🌱
    2
  655. Think the app is amazing g n so useful
    2
  656. Many thanks, Prof. Spector and really great work from your whole team! 👏 Your updates give us such valuable data/ advice and information. My husband and I report daily and we are so appreciative of your research!
    2
  657. Proud to have been part of this since the early days and to have encouraged others to sign up. Feel that I’m making a contribution, however small, every day, and thankful that myself and my family have stayed well so far. Thank you.
    2
  658. Hi Dr. Specter from France also, hope your holidays are good healthy and fun for you all.

  659. Thanks heaps. Newly subscribed.

  660. Thankyou Tim and team Zoe, I've been logging in since day one! Love the app, trust the app and the info, love having updates by Tim, especially with the Xmas hat on😂will keep logging in. Happy New year to you all, you've made such a real difference!!!!! XXXXXXXX
    2
  661. Thanks Tim, 👍
    2
  662. Brilliant Thankyou Zoe x good start and advice for now and moving into 2023
    2
  663. I am reporting LFT results as part of receiving free NHS packs & being involved in ONS study. I also let Zoe know via the App. Hope you recover well, Tim.
    2
  664. Great advice, thanks. I’ve ditched the bread and make my own sauerkraut as the shop stuff is pasteurised and hence the gut bugs are annihilated in the process. You can tell a good olive oil if it hits the back of your throat on tasting, I use cold pressed virgin olive oil organic, wonderful 🤗
    2
  665. I found this webinar really informative. Thank you for sharing your research and thoughts on diet and nutrition - fascinating.
    2
  666. Thank you for such an informative update 👏 it's heartening to hear the initial conclusions about plant based diet, I'm delighted so many folk have responded. As for Covid it's a virus we'll have to live with and adapt our behaviours accordingly. Thank you to all of the Zoe team for your dedication to our health & wellbeing 🙏
    2
  667. Excellent! It would be great if you could do qn episode on iron deficiency!
    2
  668. I've just done exactly the same thing!
    2
  669. Is this only if u live in England
    2
  670. Thanks Zoe for relaying the information without preaching.
    2
  671. Thank you for all your great work and information. The government should have listened to you about your up to date and relevant covid symptoms. Your data is also superb. I am so cross they are withdrawing the funding, when your ongoing work could be so helpful and cost saving. I hope they will change their minds... Zoe must continue.
    2
  672. Thanks Tim! We're also on holiday in France (Brittany) & were delighted with 10hrs of good rainfall yesterday 😀 Keep up your concise & informative catch up blogs, they're just the kind of level-headed messages we all need!
    2
  673. Very good as usual. Hope you see your mum soon.
    2
  674.  @VoytenTechnologies  go back to eating your much loved fruit and veg
    2
  675. Great to see you do a blood pressure study. So needed. Will push it on my channel and podcast. Keep up the great work!
    2
  676. Very educational and beneficial speech
    2
  677. I live in The Netherlands. Unfortunately we don't have a ZOE kind of institute :-((( If all viewers of this channel convince 3-5 or more friends, colleagues, neighbours etc. ZOE's impact will increase and your Government cannot longer ignore you. Thanks for all your efforts until now! You're a beacon of hope!
    2
  678. Thats the power of your app Tim. You managed the the first data on metallic taste. Well done
    2
  679. Thanks for the updates! Enjoy your well deserved holidays!
    2
  680. This sounds extremely good and very useful. I have followed the day log in zoe and keep a close check on diet. I have found, just doing what I have done has made a real difference.
    2
  681. Please bring Zoe to Luxembourg! Great podcast - thanks for all you do.
    2
  682. Amazing
    2
  683. Hardly surprising. The Government wants to pretend Covid has gone away. They don’t want Zoe showing an increase in cases. I will certainly be staying with you.
    2
  684. Thank you. Very much, this was a very interesting an informative video, appreciate both for your time an knowledge. M
    2
  685. Thank you Claire for the factual, very well presented and easy to understand update. I also praise Zoe's commitment to do not miss updates when Tim takes time off. I continue to be a keen contributor and follower of the study.
    2
  686. Keep Elfy Tim. Merrry Christmas. xx
    2
  687. Have logged for my family from the beginning..the app is my first point of contact if I want the real facts as the media spun stories causes me to worry. This has been a great help keeping anxiety away. I have felt that I have made a small difference in this fight. Thank you for all your hard work and welll done in making such a difference! Here's to 2021!
    2
  688. Always interesting to listen to Professor Tim Spectre.. sensible sound advice and a learning curve for all the subjects he addresses healthwise and especially Covid. Thankyou.
    2
  689. Thank you for this
    2
  690. Thank you so much for your professional, consistent, reliable work. Your responsiveness to what's actually happening, your broad view and your practical advice have been a haven during these last two years. Your symptoms list, in particular, has been a fabulous source of reliable and critical information, which has helped to keep us safe (and alive). I've written to Dr Harries to strongly request a review of the cancellation of your funding: if enough of us do it, the UKHSA can't fail to at least notice. Thank you for keeping going: we need you!
    2
  691. I joined in March or April thanks to Dr John Campbell highlighting the app. I update daily and like to check the level in my local area to see what's happening. Thanks to everyone. Hopefully a happier new year eventually.

  692. Just a fantastic discussion, great questions asked and a great guest! Thank you from Guam

  700. Glad you’re setting high standards regarding your study findings. Others should take note! The hiding or distortion of “unfavourable” outcomes / data…that could jeapordise a company’s future…and the (often very comfortable) livelihoods of those involved..should never happen and is morally reprehensible.

  704. Well done team! Proud to have been part of the collective effort. Also pleased to have been able to have reassurance with 3 x negative tests when reporting symptoms! Keep up the good work, hopefully only a few weeks to push before things turn a corner. Happy New Year 🎉

  706. Do not GIVE UP - we need the data obtained from the ZOE study to inform and guide not only individuals, but also Government health policy in years to come (if they will listen)! Will definitely be with ZOE for life, and hopefully it will be available globally soon (maybe it will even make it to NZ!). Thank you ALL for the dedication, commitment, perseverance and of course, your knowledge sharing within the ZOE community.

  708. Hi Jonathan, love all the work you guys are doing. Love Tim too, but TBH I have enjoyed having other people deliver these videos while he's been away, as I sometimes find Tim's delivery just a tad slow, with often long pauses before he gets a thought out, so I sometimes check out. Bad on me I know, but just thought I'd let you know. Keep doing the great work, so valuable and really appreciated.

  709. Another useful update, thanks. Good to meet the team 🙂

  710. A place where trusted numbers reassure me. And keep my feet on the ground thankyou Tim.

  711. Hi. I am trying to think about how I would explain this to a lay person (me). The first comment would be: isn't this already known? What new contribution does this study add to our previous knowledge already? Looking forward to a response. Thanks!

  713. Many thanks, Tim. The government infection figures have lost all credibility - particularly when hospitalisations remain so high. I notice that BBC One News has stopped updating daily rates altogether; whereas, on Reporting Scotland, the figures for Scotland are given daily - apart from weekends. I expect pressure will be brought to stop their being reported before very long too. So it's very reassuring to be able to have you as a reliable source. I notice from an article in The Atlantic that the same "devil-may-care" attitude is masking increase in US infections also.

  714. Thank you ZOE and Tim for making me feel I can make a difference. You are the source of information about the virus that I feel I can trust.

  717. Completely true in general, but if you want to take it to the next level, then Zoe is that step.

  718. Prof Spector, I am glad you were only mildly affected by Omicrom, though unpleasant it is to be feel under the weather and having to isolate - please take good care!! Interesting about Scandinavia opening up more...with England following very soon - Praying Long Covid isnt part of Omicrom. I shall continue being diligent in busy places, wearing my mask.. Look forward to hearing more about the study on other health issues.Wishing you a good recovery, please do make sure you rest up properly.

  719. Thanks go to you and your team! You have been the voice of reason throughout this difficult time and shared with us freely and as objectively as you could with up to date information and knowledge. Wonderful and it's been an honour to add my small part to such an amazing study. I'll keep recording for as long as you need......here to the end, let's all get there! 🤸‍♀️🎊🤸‍♀️

  721. So sad but not surprised to hear government will no longer be offering funding. Thank you for everything you have all done and will continue to do; we will absolutely carry on reporting and supporting.

  728. I listened this particular podcast twice as I found it interesting and wanted to pass on some of the tips onto family and friends. I would love to join the Zoe Study, but I believe I can't because I am coeliac.

  729. Sorry to hear your government funding hasn't been renewed. Very short sighted. As others have said the information you have shared with us has been invaluable and trusted. The data collated from us app users has been ground breaking. It's been great to be able to help science help us all. Will definitely continue to log my daily details.

  730. The measured voice of reason. Its a pleasure to watch your video s Doctor.

  731. Appalling decision by the UKHSA but not surprised - since when do these bodies ever listen to those making sense? I will continue to log my health every single day and am very grateful to Zoe (the company) for continuing to fund this endeavour. I was going to donate again but I wasn't able to find the Donate button on the app - I know it existed before, has this been removed? I'd be very happy to contribute what little I can to keep this app and your studies going!!! You mentioned the ZOE gut microbiome testing is about to launch in the UK - is there a more specific ETA? 😁 Thanks for all you and your team have done, Tim - this channel and the app have been the only trustworthy source I've needed throughout the pandemic and I can't begin to explain just how much of my anxiety you've kept at bay with your measured, scientific info. I will be forever grateful for that. P.S. Email has been sent to Dr. Harries - fingers crossed enough people do this and she will overturn her decision.

  732. Interesting report this week Professor Spector,,thank you - on both Covid like symptoms and gut health. Advice noted regarding Omicrom - always good to get a factual bulletin from data, rather than mixed messages found in the media. And regarding gut health - it is amazing we have this study opportunity, a platform to monitor symptoms, as so many suffer with some condition, and family backgrounds too. I am sure it will be a relief for many to see how a plant based/ fermented food diet can help relieve, or prevent many symptoms. I pray a further financial source of support out there will step forward,,even better if it is offered by the government, as preventative medicine will certainly help save the NHS a lot of income in the long run.

  738. Jonathan I dd the same thing with eggshell. I'd eaten my boiled egg, Mum said "Don't eat the shell", so of course I grabbed it and stuffed it in my mouth. I, however, did not require a hospital visit but probably a different attitude o directives.

  745. I have emailed my support for the ZOE Covid study to UKHSA and my MP Clive Lewis. I am 70 and have a few autoimmune conditions. For the first time I feel I am contributing to research not just into Covid but wider issues. I have felt better prepared to protect myself from the ZOE information about Covid than the out of date government information. Thank you.

  755. I'm not in the least surprised that your funding has been pulled by a government that doesn't want to hear anything that contradicts their own messages. I'm desperate to join Zoe and bought a secondhand iphone today expressly to get up to speed so that I can, and I will be staying with you/it for life. Good luck with whatever developments come next.

  766. You can't trust the politicians but Tim and the Zoe team have integrity and the project helps us all stay in touch with reality and help the experts to give evidence based advice. Thanks very much.

  767. As Tim just said ZOE translates as life and life is what it supports. It is one of the things that helped my family and I get through te pandemic and now in our life with gut microbiome. For the first time in forever my diet has improved with watching webinar and reading Spoon Fed by Tim. They have most probably saved my life and others and given me a better understanding to keep this lifestyle . My weight has dropped and health is going up. Please keep going and we will support you all the way. No surprise really they didn't give you money to keep going as pharma, medical and food companies won't make as much money out of us for all the wrong reasons, they like keeping us on the bad rocky roads.

  768. Thankyou Zoe for doing this Covid 19 study app. I like logging into the app everyday to report my health. Well done to Zoe who got this app up and running last year in 2020. I will be still logging in. In 2021. Thankyou all.

  792. So sorry you have been poorly with Omicron. This is my first comment but I have been following your Zoe posts since the beginning, and have appreciated the voice of reason among all the speculation out there. Thank you. Going to watch the video that discusses the metallic taste after the 3rd vaccine, when it is available. I have now reported 2 Yellow card entries following my 3rd vac, as I have developed painful joints around the body and am concerned that my own immune system may have been aggravated by the 3 jabs. Have also just purchased your book, and looking forward to reading it.

  793. That was FANTASTIC ! ! !

  794. If you can't add your current health status via the app, what's the point ? I was an ICU covid patient In April 2020, and have have massive problems with my health since then. I can't add my daily issues, so ZOE .... what use is the app ?

  795. Keep up the work. God bless, for sharing your knowledge to the people.

  796. Hi Tim we're sorry you have been infected, however it's interesting to hear your personal experiences of the difference between the variations of the virus. It is frustrating to have been infected when you are careful about your work, health and cleanliness. As you say sometimes it hard to really understand just how these variants are spread. But you are in estimed company with Prince Charles and our First minister Mark Drakeford, who I belive have both been unfortunate enough to have caught the original virus and now Omicron. We wish you a very speedy recovery. We have found your book Spoon Fed really helpful in understanding the relationship between gut, food and health. Thank you.

  805. Thanks Tim you always provide interesting updates and it is great to have a second source on Covid numbers. The Zoe data is possibly showing an increase of Covid numbers in the UK. Is this due to increasing numbers in Scotland (ONS) or is it increasing in the other countries of The UK as well.
