About this listen

MasterChef winner and restaurateur Tim Anderson, with the help of Dr Giles Yeo, ventures into his bowels.

    Giles, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, uses a 21ft knitted scarf to give Tim a guided tour of his gut. Tim is an American chef who runs a busy Japanese restaurant in London and he is hoping to transform his energy levels, wellbeing and mood by focusing on his intestines. They learn about the importance of the gut microbiome, the vast ecosystem of bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses in our digestive pipes, which weighs more than the brain.

    At Kings College London, Tim meets Professor Tim Spector (author of The Diet Myth) who analyses his microbiome through a stool sample. What will Professor Spector find in Tim’s gut?

    Now that Tim has received the results of his microbiome profile, he wants to find out what’s good to eat for a healthy gut. Why should we be filling it with bacteria?

    Tim and Giles sample kombucha, a sweet fermented tea and they hear from Sandor Katz who discovered fermentation after swapping a busy life in New York for off-grid commune dwelling in rural Tennessee. What are the health benefits of eating fermented foods?

    At the APC Microbiome Institute at University College Cork, Tim meets Dr John Cryan and Dr Ted Dinan, who are world leaders in research on the connection between our gut and our mood. They’ll explain how what we eat not only affects our physical health, but also our mental health.

    In the near future, could mood disorders be treated by changing our diet to consume better bacteria?

GENERALLY SPEAKING IT IS GOOD

It's narrated good and gives you just heads up about the concept but if you already have a bit info regarding the subject then there is not much for you to grab.

Wonderful introduction to a topic

I knew very little before listening and as my first audible listen I really enjoyed the experience. The hosts were very easy to listen to and made the topics fun.

Listening to this is easy and an education to boot

loved it...not only imparts interesting and important information about the connection between our guts and our mind-body, but also gives simple instructions and tools to to go about making changes for an improved life... even going as far as discussing how to create new habits when you are feeling totally lacking in motivation.... job well done

not bad for starters

Great introduction to the topic for beginners, but lacked depth. needs more episodes around the 6 podcasts as topics for further analysis.
