I came to this late and watched a replay - how refreshing - openness, enthusiasm, unrecognisable to the first presentation. Straightforward questions and answers - brilliant. As an older woman with peri menopausal and menopausal daughters - I am thrilled the learn about this research - My final question is WHEN oh WHEN is Zoe going to become available in the U.K. ?
Just a note to those commenting about the commercial aspect of “pushing the books” : I’ve had no problem borrowing any of the contributors’ books through my local library and their inter-library loan system.
Dear Dr Li, Sarah and doctor B, I understand that the suggestions made here are for people who have healthy gut, but like other people nowadays I became intolerant to many foods because of a thyroid autoimmune disease. No physician ever addressed the gut side and diet properly and I also developed diverticules. I have always loved fruits and vegetables and still try to incorporate as many as I can in my diet (I have to follow the FOD map to feel ok). So it would be really good if the research you’re conducting brought one day to discover how we can improve the impact of autoimmune diseases on the guts through an appropriate diet and how to maintain a healthy immune system even with these complications. I think I’m on the right track, but some scientific help and research might benefit many people. Thank you so much for the videos I have learned a lot. Stefania Quaresima
Thank you. Being involved with Zoe has allowed me to access so many interesting and exciting data. Driven primarily for selfish reasons because of my own health but I can see the benefits of this research in so many different ways. Thank you for your expertise your dedication and commitment and for including people like me to listen to your thinking and research
Just listened to the recording. Really interesting and lots of information. So it’s not all genetic which gives us so much more scope to be responsible about our health. Thank you both so much.
Wow! This is exciting cutting edge stuff. I'm post-menopausal, hypermobile, IBS, poor sleeper - changed my diet totally after reading Dr Li's book - and books on plant based diet. The sleep angle is fascinating. There's so much good stuff here. Thank you both for such high level and v clear explanations. Cool stuff.
Have signed up for when it starts here in the UK. Have the app and follow everything with great interest. This was fascinating, thank you ;) live in Cambridge, UK.
@@debbieepstein1205 just lost what I had written! Off to the Isles of Scilly for two weeks but would love to when I get back. Are you on Messenger so we can exchange contact details?
Why were the chats saying that Zoe has not been launched in the UK? I live in the UK I have the Zoe app and report everyday, another lady on the chat who lives in the UK also has the app. A lot of my friends and family have the app too.
Hi Karen, we have launched our COVID symptom study app in the UK but what you may not realise is that ZOE is actually a personalized nutrition company behind the world's largest nutritional science study (that Dr Sarah Berry was the lead scientist on!), the COVID app was actually a pivot in response to the pandemic last year. We are hoping to launch our nutrition app and program in the UK in the not-so-distant future which will allow our users to put all of this exciting research into action
As a post menopausal woman I am very interested in the study of women and how to manage the symptoms. Many women report weight gain during the menopause but interestingly as soon as HRT is given most women report weight loss. So hormones have a lot to do with how we absorb the nutrients of food and how it can transfer to a higher blood glucose level?
I think menopausal women often gain weight because they have less energy and start eating more. HRT gives them their ‘mojo’ back. I personally don’t take HRT but have lost weight as I’ve adjusted my diet and exercise regime to help with menopause symptoms. As we age our metabolism changes as well and we need less food
@@helenfrancks8669 I'm interested to know what research finds. At the moment we are too reliant on anecdote because menopause is under-researched. I hope that the current high profile of menopause in the media may help the next generation.
We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the session! Feedback noted and we will certainly ask Dr Sarah to share more about her fascinating research with our RU-vid community so watch this space!
I got a little confused by the rough proportion of genetics and microbiome contributing to the various outcomes (e.g. sugar, fat, inflammation responses), as stated by Sarah Berry. I think she says that genetics contributes only about 5% to fat responses but around 40-50% to sugar responses; I didn't hear a figure for inflammation. Then she says that the microbiome contributes 'quite a large' amount to the fat response but less to the sugar response. Of course, if genetics contributes e.g. 40% to the sugar response, it doesn't necessarily mean that the biome contributes 60%. It might be just random variation in response or due to some other, as yet, undiscovered factor.
@Zoe What do you suggest for those of us who live in states like New York that are unable to partake due to our atrocious state laws (that I'm working on changing with my state representative)? Is there another way to participate? And if not, is Zoe lobbying the NY State Legislature to get our Direct Access Testing (DAT) laws changed?
Using AI, when the machine decides on its own analysis approach in order to produce an output? Or like most health work, accumulating masses of data that is then analysed, When the machine follows programmed routes? Richard, surrey, uk.
Slightly disappointed with this session as I was wanting to hear more about the inflammatory response to what we eat, not just about fats and sugars. I've signed up for the Zoe app when it's launched in the UK but still undecided about splashing the cash on it. I eat a mainly plant based diet and try to include a variety of vegetables. Eat lots of yogurt too. Not yet convinced that the app will make a significant difference to me.
I've been following Weight Watchers (WW) regime but trying to eat more fermented and plant based food. Should I keep to the WW system or abandon it altogether? I don't think the two go together as WW allow you to eat any sort of food, just counting the "points". So if I choose to eat just cake for instance I'll have much less for my daily points than eating a better balanced diet. I want to get to a better weight for my height than I am. Anyone else doing the same and turning to ZOE for a different approach?
I used WW in the past as well. I found that keeping track of points with their new system allowed me to overeat. After joining Zoe, I found that a lot of zero point foods, considered healthy by some, had very low scores for me. Zoe has totally changed the way I look at food. And it has changed the way I plan an individual meal as well as my weekly meal plan. The result of which is more energy, better digestion, needed weight loss, etc. I highly recommend it.
So the first one was one self congratulatory advertising show but nevertheless, off I go to sign up, only to find you can’t do that in the UK. All in all, Tim, much as I love you, I think you have shot yourself in the foot here, very disappointing!!!!
