Gut health, nutrition, and healthy eating may be the real keys to longevity, but most people are still following the wrong diet advice.
In this episode, Dr. Tim Spector and Hala discuss why gut health is central to health and wellness, how your microbiome affects metabolism, immunity, mood, and energy, and why healthy eating is less about counting calories and more about food quality. He also breaks down the biggest nutrition myths, why “high protein,” “low calorie,” and “natural” labels can be misleading, and how better food choices can support longevity, focus, and long-term health.
