Hearted Youtube comments on ZOE (@joinZOE) channel.

  1. Proud to share this video and proud to be a contributor. Feel I'm doing one small thing to help beat the pandemic.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. Many congratulations, good to see your excellent work (and that of the whole team) recognised.

  6. I lost Two Stone by changing to a plant based diet. This was three years ago. I have not regained the weight.

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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)

  10. The most useful content of the week considering I'm a huge chocolate fan😋

  11. Thanks Tim and team for the weekly update, we really appreciate them.

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. Well done on the OBE, Tim. I look forward to Dr Campbell receiving his soon too.

  15. 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!

  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Thank you Zoe team for bringing us this valuable, researched and tested information!
    47
  19. 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.

  20. Thank you Tim for a clear and objective update. Extremely educational.

  21. 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.

  22. Thanks as ever for this year's measured and trustworthy updates Tim. Merry Christmas to you and all your team

  23. 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
  24. 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. ❤

  25. Loved this, the interviewee was amazing at explaining things in such a clear, interesting way. More of him please!
    42
  26. 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. 👏👏👏👏

  27. 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
  28. Well done Claire. Tim need not fear if he's away, your analysis is equally well presented and understandable. Thank you 😀

  29. Thanks Tim and Team Zoe for another no nonsense report. Great job......again 👍👍

  30. Happy Christmas, Christmas-Elf-Tim. Thank you for your down-to-earth information and suggestions. Makes a difference from the media frenzy.

  31. Great information as always. Tim Spector's weekly update is my "go to" place to get an informed, balanced view of the pandemic.

  32. 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
  33. Excellent weekly report as usual prof Tim! Look forward to next week and your team deserve a break!
    40
  34. 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
  35. Thank you for this calm, measured and reassuring update. It is greatly appreciated.
    39
  36. 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.

  37. 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!

  38. Hi Tim! Glad you are giving us news not hype or fear.

  39. 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.

  40. 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
  41. Thank you Tim for your honest reliable information as per usual ..
    37
  42. 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
  43. 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!

  44. 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.

  45. Thank you for addressing the cost of living crisis. I’ve noticed that even ‘basic’ supermarket shops are getting pricey.

  46. Great work from the Zoe team. Reassuring and measured. Enjoy your well deserved break. Thank you all.

  47. 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
  48. 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.

  49. 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.

  50. 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.
