And it's much like diversifying your portfolio where when you have variety in your diet, you are feeding and fueling. You are getting all the different types of fiber and polyphenols and phytochemicals and different types of vitamins and minerals. So you're sort of balancing it all out. And that's what ultimately leads to a more healthy, more diverse, more abundant microbiome.
So, and you and I were talking before we started about Zoe. This is something that Zoe actually, our scientific founder at Zoe, Tim Spector.

A company based in the UK that's available in the US. Tim Spector is a professor at King's College London. one of the most accomplished, most published scientists in the world. And he actually was like driving this study because basically he introduced a whole bunch of people from his data set in the UK so that it could be balanced, include both US and British people. And we found this.

And this led us to now where Zoe is sort of taking this and running with it. We have other studies that have backed up the concept that dietary diversity is essential. And we have a randomized control trial where we apply these concepts to people

And we find that in this randomized control trial, when you apply these concepts, you lower your weight, you reduce your waist circumference, you lower your triglyceride levels, you're happier, you sleep better, you have more energy, you're less hungry, which is actually kind of interesting. You're less hungry, yet you're losing weight. That's pretty cool. So all of these benefits start to unfold.

So here's what I would come to say that like to me, I have moved past. In fact, I kind of don't like dietary and nutrition labels at this point. Like I really don't like them. Because we're oversimplifying people. We're oversimplifying diets. So I'm here to say, forget that. Like, forget what we call it. Focus on the quality of your diet.

One of the ways that you can really enrich the quality of your diet is by adding more variety of different plant-based foods. And if 30 sounds intimidating, don't panic. Because truly, like 10 years ago, I was probably at 5. What you want to do is just start slow and steady adding more. All fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, and spices. They all count.

I think we're referring to the same thing. I would use the word smoothie. Like basically we're talking about throwing a whole bunch of plant-based stuff into a blender, pressing the button and letting it buzz, right? And I think it's a great way to start your day. So a few things about this. Number one, it's more easily digestible.
