It seems the key to a brighter mood and healthy brain really does start at the end of your fork. Liz is joined by epidemiologist and ZOE co-founder Professor Tim Spector to explore the powerful connection between our gut and mental wellbeing – and how a few simple food tweaks can have a rapid impact on your mood and cognitive health.

They discuss how changing oestrogen levels around menopause can affect the gut microbiome, and how inflammation travels through the body, causing symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue and even reduced brain function.

Tim also shares what to eat (and what to cut back on) to feel a noticeable difference in just two weeks, with easy meal ideas for when stress is high and motivation is low.
