studies showed that if you are flossing you can reduce your risk of dementia by nearly half which is quite impressive.
00:00:06
So I started to research the brain much more and it made me realize this link with the brain and the gut is absolutely
00:00:12
crucial and how that influences many things in our brain. For example, things like depression, mood changes, fatigue
00:00:19
and energy. But for 40 years we've been going down the wrong path. We've got so
00:00:24
distracted by treating the brain as something so different to the rest of the body. So, what do we do about it if
00:00:29
we want to have optimally healthy brains? Well, we can dramatically improve our lives and our health just by
00:00:36
making the right food choices. And I've got eight rules for gut health, which
00:00:40
work for all health. So, first thing, pivot your protein. Then there's quality, not calories. The whole idea of
00:00:46
assessing food by calories is wrong. Calorie restricted diets have been shown for the vast majority of people not to

>> And what about coffee? >> So drinking between two and five cups of
00:01:02
coffee reduces your risk of heart disease by about 25%. >> And then what do you think of almonds?
00:01:07
>> So there's lots of studies showing they're good for your cognition and
00:01:10
mood. >> And what about your views on GLP1s like Zen? >> I think from a public health
00:01:15
perspective, they're going to transform medicine and we ought to be taking it
00:01:19
much more seriously. But I've got two real worries about them. My first worry
00:01:24
is
