“Great course. Tim Spector gives excellent and clear information. So interesting. It all makes complete sense. It is practical and realistic. I'm away to ferment some veggies!”
“Fantastic course. I’m probably only a moderate offender (vegetarian, I use a reasonable amount of whole foods already and have taken steps to improve my gut microbiome, with good results personally). But that’s only baby steps when presented with all the knowledge here. Not that how it’s laid out is daunting. The information is given in a highly useable way. Certainly a paradigm shift in our thinking, as said, and perhaps in medicine. So interesting to have ultra-processed food, the diet industry and the food industry shown for what it is and the myths debunked. I’m now looking at a lot of things on my shelves suspiciously! This gives a very easy to understand blueprint to work upon to everyone’s benefit. I’m going to repeat watch it and make sure my teenager is in the room. I’ve already started telling him all about it. Mind changing.”

“Understandable information which can be used to inform food choices. I have begun making changes to my diet in response to this course which will hopefully benefit me and my family in the long term.”

“It's not every day that someone distills a continuum of scientific findings and presents it in a way that can shift your thinking about the whole of your physical and mental health. A lot has been learned, in the last few decades, about the way that the human mind and body work. But there are very few scientists who can present the whole wave of it in a way that we can use so easily. There's no conceit here. No diet. No pretense that this is the be all and the end all of our learning. Just some simple guidelines about how to use the best of what we now know to our great advantage. To that end, I hope that a lot of people watch and learn from this course. It's an excellent work of true learning and teaching.”

“Really interesting course delving into the whys and wherefores of different foods and their effect on the gut microbiome based on recent groundbreaking research. I love cooking, avoid processed food where possible, bake my own bread (for that reason), buy organic where I can and have always preferred a Mediterranean-oriented diet, so I was relieved to realise my diet is a lot healthier than I thought! But Professor Tim Spector introduced numerous ways to radically improve aspects of it (such as incorporating fermented foods) and also explained the biology behind why certain foods had a beneficial effect and others did not. I feel I've learned so much from this course, thank you.”
