A live episode from the Be Well 2020 summit
What is the real science behind what we eat? We are all increasingly bewildered by the simple question of what to eat. Despite advice from experts, governments and dieticians about the dangers of too much fat, sugar, protein and lack of exercise, our nutrition, and the global obesity crisis, is getting worse. There is one area which scientists do agree on, and that is the importance of our gut health.
In this episode, Dr Tim Spector speaks live at Sarah Ann's Be Well Collective wellbeing event. Tim is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at Guys and St Thomas Hospital. Tm has published over 900 scientific journals, and leads the largest microbiome project in the UK, the Twin Study. Tim explains his wealth of knowledge relating to the gut microbiome, the facts behind what we eat, why people gain weight, fail to lose weight, and why allergy seems to be everywhere.

This week Sarah Ann Macklin speaks to double Olympic gold medalist, Victoria Pendleton CBE.
Mental health problems are one of the world’s most common conditions, with behavioural patterns such as depression and anxiety affecting millions of people every year. Startlingly, 1 in 6 people experience a common mental health problem every week. Victoria shares her personal experience with mental health, relaying the dark times that she experienced at her deepest lows with depression and battling thoughts of suicide.
Victoria shares for the first time about her eating disorder, of her struggle with anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Victoria explains how her depression and ultimately extremely low self worth and warped body image lead to her to use food as a control mechanism to regain the power that she felt she had lost.

Can we really boost our immune health?
This week Sarah Ann Macklin speaks with Immunologist Dr Jenna Macchioci, who specialises and has 20 years experience in understanding how nutrition & lifestyle interact with our immune system in health & disease. How does diet and interestingly fibre play an important role in immune functioning? We find out why the immune system acts like our second brain, and sort fact from fiction in recent misconceptions regarding certain nutrients.

This episode features Kimberley Wilson, a psychologist and author specialising in how to build a healthy brain, an area I firmly believe in when it comes to nutrition and brain health.
In the last four weeks we have all been thrown into an unfamiliar and daunting world. Therefore, it isn’t entirely surprising that two thirds of Britons are reporting that it is harder to stay positive about the future and over half of us find it a struggle to stay positive day-to-day.
In this episode we uncover why we may be struggling to cope with a mixture of emotions at present, what strategies we can implement to help and what foods may help support our brains. You will soon be able to tell, Kimberley and I had a lot of fun throughout this podcast and I hope it helps bring some laughter as well as important information to you all too.
