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 that's what we saw in our trials.

In all the ZOE studies we do, whether it's of Daily 30, of the Method study, fermented foods, first thing that changes is the brain symptoms.

Well, short answer is yes.

Fermented foods probably work in a different method by a different mechanism.

So they're acting synergistically together.

So just because you're having fermented foods alone will help particularly inflammation.

But we don't know, but it's highly likely that adding 30 plants on top of that is also going to help.

And no one's yet done that study.

There's a whole wealth of information.

There isn't one blockbuster study that does it, but there's clear data showing that people

All things associated with poor diet are associated with increased risk of dementia.

We know that mouse brains don't develop without a healthy gut microbiome.

So we know there's a link between the brain function and this.

We know that bad foods are associated with it.

There's unlimited observational epidemiology studies making this link.

There's also one of the biggest risk factors for dementia is type 2 diabetes.

The main risk factor for type 2 diabetes is poor diet and poor gut microbiome.

So I would just say ask any epidemiologist and they'll say there's overwhelming evidence.

I'd go even further.

I'd say it's a real disgrace that the government who is saying they're trying to roll this out to people are spending taxpayers' money on this really expensive drug without giving people clear mechanisms to change their food behavior.
