Tim Spector: The Science of Good Mood Food

Tim Spector, scientific co-founder of Zoe and Professor of Epidemiology at Kings College London, explores the science of the connection between gut health and human well-being. The presentation examines how gut bacteria affect digestion, the gut-brain connection, and the role of microbiomes in heart, brain, and metabolic health. Spector discusses how microbiome imbalances can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, allergies, and autoimmune diseases, countering oversimplified dietary messaging. The event is hosted by Intelligence Squared at Union Chapel.
