The less you need to go on to higher doses or a second one, which could give you more side effects, et cetera, the better you'll be.
Absolutely, yes.
So I think they should be used together.
I think we should be seeing diet as another arm of medication, not as a complete alternative, only if you don't believe in medication.
Because for this particular condition, the evidence is so clear that
medication will save your life and will stop you getting a stroke and heart attack so i don't want anyone to think that this is instead of it's usually in addition to it might mean that you can eventually you might be able to get off your medications if you're someone who started them when they're on a really poor junk food diet your doctor didn't tell you that that reason was you were getting all these terrible blood pressure inducing effects from the food
you've changed that you've improved your life you've improved your gut microbes they're secreting other chemicals you might then be able to wean yourself off these drugs that's possible you've certainly heard stories of this from people who've written to me so bear that in mind but you know do that under medical supervision thank you for listening to today's recap episode i want to take 30 seconds to talk about something that's not talked about enough
Well, Zoe means life in Greek.
And it certainly changed my life from when I first met you nine years ago now.
And it changed me from, you know, a dull academic to a dull entrepreneur and scientist.
But it's really allowed me to
do what I was doing on a very small scale, talking about gut microbe, but just talking to small rooms of academics, small amounts of people, reading my work to bring those messages to hundreds of thousands and millions of people in a way that wouldn't have been possible before.
And as it's grown and the company has evolved, we're seeing this as a very long-term mission.
It's very hard at the beginning of it to see anything long-term because you say, are we going to survive a year?
You know, will I strangle Jonathan after the first few meetings?
Because when academics and business people clash, then often there are fireworks.
We got through that honeymoon period and we can now see this really important future.
And I see this really important role for myself now through the media stuff I'm doing and the stuff we're doing for Zoe.
It's all coming together.
as a real mission to change the way we all think about food and the importance of food and give us extended healthy life.
