Can microbial diversity be the key to resolving nutritional confusion?
In short: With conflicting dietary advice everywhere, Professor Tim Spector explores how the diversity of our microbiome might be the missing link in understanding how food impacts our health.
In this Royal Institution talk, filmed on 15 October 2018, genetic epidemiologist Tim Spector discusses the relationship between the microbiome and health outcomes. As the Director of the TwinsUK Registry at King's College London, Spector examines how the variety of microbes in our bodies influences the way we respond to diet.
The presentation addresses the complexities of healthy eating by looking through the lens of microbial diversity, offering a scientific perspective on why nutritional guidance often feels contradictory.
