ZOE Science & Nutrition · LIVE Q&A: Your gut health, dementia and weight loss questions answered by Prof Tim Spector, Prof Sarah Berry & Dr Federica Amati · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

And what we know is that peri- and postmenopausal women metabolize their food differently.

We know that they have different perceptions of hunger.

And so I think from a very practical point of view in terms of the question that's been asked around intermittent fasting is that actually it's not so much probably the duration of the fast that matters here.

It's about the timing of the fast.

What we know is that if you consume calories later in the evening, you wake up more hungry the next day.

You have worse metabolic responses the next day.

And given that our own research shows that postmenopausal women already have more exaggerated responses, already are more hungry or already more prone to put weight on in the wrong places, maybe focus not so much on thinking, oh my God, have I eaten in a 10-hour window?

But think about focusing on, okay, let's try and not eat after 8 o'clock tonight or 10 o'clock tonight.

So I'd like to use myself as an example.

Before I started my journey with Zoe, despite being a nutrition scientist for 20 years by then, I did start my breakfast with pan of chocolates, croissants.

And boy, I'd be hungry and hungry a few hours later.

And then having met Tim and heard all about his breakfast and gave it a go.

And I tell you what, I feel full for four hours, which for me is perfect.

But the quality of the foods I'm getting are fantastic.

And most of you will probably, if you followed him, will know what his breakfast is.

So it's a mix of kefir.

So you've got all those wonderful happy bugs dancing around in your bowl.

greek yogurt so you've got a whacking amount of healthy protein as well and then whatever mixture of nuts seeds berries etc you want to put in i add a bit of nut butter as well keeps me full i'm getting plant diversity obviously i add my daily 30 scoop on top as well

Sarah?

I am most excited about the gut health bar coming out and about the fact that we, staying true to ZOE values, are going to put it to the test.
