I'm 76 and I'm still waiting for the reduced appetite thing to kick in.

[@macsmiffy2197]

#me too😂

[@Mimulus2717]

It didn't happen to my Dad until he turned 85. He lost 40 pounds and reversed his T2DM. I'm 62 and still have a huge appetite, cannot believe it could continue like that 20 more years

[@myuseronly73]

😂😂😂👏👏👏❣️❣️❣️

[@bgrune1]

I have kept improving my diet as I've gotten older. For me this means incorporating more fruits and vegetables and eliminating most processed food. I finally quit drinking altogether also.

[@elainebradley8213]

Good for you. Doing what I know to do is the hard part.

[@bobadams7654]

Nice one. Have you nearly eliminated processed foods or ULTRA processed foods?

[@aliciab4236]

What the doctor is relaying I've seen through personal experience. What you eat matters and it changes with age/stage of life. At nearly 62 I'm as healthy as I've ever been on a WFPB diet for 21 years.

[@mrspea8802]

All my life I ate peas, beans and lentils and lots of fruits and vegetables. Stopped eating meat over 30 years ago but still eat fish, eggs and some seafood. After major surgery and radiation therapy my digestive system has become compromised. Developed IBS and cannot eat legumes and some veggies and lots of fruits. Would appreciate if Zoe can address this situation.

[@lawrenceharada430]

I agree. I've also had chemo radiation, multiple surgeries. I'm now experiencing digestive issues. Due to IBS-D, my diet is similar to yours. I also would like Zoe to address diets for folks with digestive diseases, which is a growing problem in developed countries.

[@inharmony09]

[@heathersmith4224]

The most interesting yet. Thank you. It's good to know that at 74 there are still options for keeping a healthy lifestyle. However, it would be good to get info on what to do, for people who already have health issues such as urinery problems, such as prolapse or urinery infections, that impact their lives. Also, how people can improve their lives if they suffer from the huge number of cancers.

[@paulamcgivern8552]

This is wonderful stuff but please can we find a language that describes food that we know are not nourishing rather than labeling them as 'treats' and 'fun' . These words are not helpful. These foods are simply different and less beneficial for our bodies and in naming them as treats and fun this says all the other good food is not enjoyable, which quite clearly they are and its important to give them the respect they deserve. If we ate putting judgement into labeling then maybe we should call the good foods 'high value' 'gold star'. 1 thing is for sure, languahe matters. 38:23

Yes my mother took,86 healthy, never goes to the doctor's (I think that is key) cooks everything from scratch - another key element and grows her be own veg. Eats chicken and fish, no dark meat. Only carbs she has is bread, difficult to get the British off their bread!! I think supermarkets play a large role in the heath of the nation, and I see changes here in Spain sadly, where supermarkets are now pre - packing meat and fish, and the veg counter gets smaller and smaller!! Also very difficult to buy ingredients to bake - as they sell already baked goods 🤔.

I'm spanish and I'm 62 years old so I have never consumed ultraprocessed food, except maybe bread an industrial yogurt and I have not eaten too badly or too well either.

I've found that nuts and legumes trigger excruciating migraines. Since I cut those out, migraine frequency dropped by more than half and so did the intensity of the pain. I have to limit seeds as well. Some, like sesame, are worse than, say, pumpkin seeds, in this regard.

[@karengrice2303]

It’s interesting that what you eat while pregnant can impact the foods your children will eat and can tolerate. I did not eat meat during pregnancy because I could not stand the smell of it cooking. I did eat eggs, cheese, mushrooms and beans. My daughter now only eats a bit of fish once in awhile but mostly eats vegetarian meals.

Interesting. A lot about OAFAS, which I suffer from. Old Age Falling Apart Syndrome. One thing worried me, tho. The only supplement I have ever taken that seems to make a difference is NMN, a NAD +. Since taking 250mg daily I have had more stamina. Never struggle to stand up and can sprint a fair way to avoid missing a bus. I’d read that it is safe but there’s a theoretical chance it could cause existing tumours to grow quicker. But Dr Amati suggests it could be a causal factor in some bad cancers. Does anyone have a reference to a study suggesting this? Tried to find it but couldn’t.

[@RadhE-ug6on]

What about Australia? For membership and tests?

[@redjacc7581]

i think you should produce a list of "nutrient dense" foods because just saying this line is so generic and doesnt mean ANYTHING to most people.

[@shashoe]

Nutrient density chart is easy to find online, do a google images search. Then I would suggest searching calorie density right after. Enjoy vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, and a small amount of nuts and seeds daily- and see for yourself why

[@janemackrell3733]

I wish everyone wouldn’t keep assuming that the 70s is ‘old’. I am 66 and have never been healthier. My parents were living full lives at 90 and certainly never had food issues and didn’t ‘fall over’. Surely the 70s is the new 40s

Excellent point re: avoiding constipation as we age. If you aren't familiar with anal prolapse, look it up. It's common in the elderly and best avoided.

[@ninah2646]

Please please please: Menopausal women are getting REALLY contradictory information about protein, including from your guests. Stacy Sims is recommending as much as 2.4g/kg (that's about triple the US RDA) while Federica Amati is basically telling us not to worry about protein at all until we are in our 70's. I suspect this is because they are looking at different studies and different outcomes, but it is very confusing for women like me who are trying to navigate this phase of life. Can you please bring Stacy Sims and Federica Amati together in one show and ask them to talk through their differences on this topic? I don't expect an answer, but understanding the evidence that each is using to come to her conclusions would be really helpful. Thank you!

Listening to the part about teenagers and reflecting on how poor school meals are, even with the safeguards in place about what they can be offered. There is also the fact they seem to want to eat junk not real food and no amount of encouragement to eat healthily will work.

My daughter was given nuts as a child, then as a teenager developed an allergy to all nuts. As a baby, she was allergic to eggs and chocolate. When she had children she was told to not feed her children nuts. Not that she could anyway because of her severe allergy. She woke up one morning in anaphylactic shock, after something blew in from the window overnight.

How can you make a full podcast about nutrition and life stages that only mentions infant feeding once, and that in the context of food fussiness in toddlers? I can’t share this podcast with my my daughter, who is a midwife and infant feeding specialist, because she would be ballistically incensed!

[@brianbanks2774]

Because it is introducing the importance of diet through the various stages of like. Hopefully toddlers can be treated to a podcast on the subject at a later date.

[@macsmiffy2197]

Fussiness in eating has lasted way beyond toddler age in my grandchildren. They’re a nightmare to feed and not so malleable as a toddler anymore…and my daughter insisted on baby led weaning. Nothing was mashed or puréed. Food was just presented to them in its’ basic form at 6 months. Now they barely eat anything beyond a cheese sandwich. They don’t even like chips!😮

[@aliensintheloft]

I like these podcasts, but seems an unnecessarily complicated way of saying: eat a healthy, varied diet; don't get fat; don't smoke, and exercise. Also, moderate alcohol consumption still leads to a longer life. No more than "two or three glasses of wine a week" is far too restrictive and not based on the best research. Check out the countless number of Eric Rimm interviews for alcohol research at its best.

[@sarahsnowe]

I hope the probable incoming Labour government sees sense and intervenes to provide better nutrition for Britain: taxing UPFs heavily and subsidizing fresh fruit and vegetables, teaching cooking skills in schools and the community, and campaigning in every medium to illustrate the disastrous effects of the deplorable Americanized diet of most Brits. I doubt it will happen because even Labour is in the pocket of Big Food (not that most of its muck is actually food as we understand the term) and the political will probably isn't there, but the current situation is a ticking time-bomb.

[@bazhughes5625]

If you have any faith in any government in power, you are in for a quite horrific shock. Both parties are in the pockets of corporations. Big food, big tech, big pharma, big anything. We are given the illusion of choice, but both parties are two wings of the same bird. Most of the governments in the west are controlled by the WEF by their own arrogant admission. The only way this country improves is by not having a government, or living out of the corrupt system. Grow and raise your own food, home schooling, filter your own water, don't use banks, never register anything and probably the most important thing is, never watch the state owned propaganda. Throw out the TV, because everyone mistakenly thinks this thing is gospel.

[@tD-oo2ox]

I absolutely endorse this that Government should intervene. But it's not as simple as whether they are influenced by 'Big Food'. If the electorate got wind this was what they were planning (any political party) they wouldn't be voted in, it's as simple as that. The Great British public are torn between indulging in what they like (freedoms) rejecting the Nanny State and expecting Government to be the answer to all ills picking up the pieces including free at the point of use healthcare. I remember when schools tried to ban unhealthy packed lunches. Parents were picketing school gates and handing parcels from the chip shop to their children over the fence. Tragically it will take more than one generation to unpick the dietary mess (the western world) is in and will have to be done in small steps. Changing the public's behaviour is a complex business 😐

Not the case. A good interviewer asks a question but seeks clarity or context where the diverse audience may need it. I’ve seen this help my elderly family members better understand.

[@DavidPodolsky]

The content is just fantastic but the interruptions from Jonathan are value-destroying. The interruptions caused the guest to share 25% of the information she otherwise would have shared. I mean, you can't ask her to clarify what a "trimester" is and repeat every point 3 or 4 times.

[@StudioHoekhuis]

It can be a bit much sometimes, but what Jonathan is trying to do is summarise and clarify what she's saying. This is important to reach a broad audience, of which not everyone is up to speed with the latest in nutrition science or health advice in general.

[@DavidPodolsky]

@@StudioHoekhuis I understand what he is trying to do but there is a right and a wrong way to do that. If clarifying for a broader audience equals repeating everything 3 times without value addition and interrupting the guest speaker every two sentences, that is painful and value-destroying. One thing is to clarify, the other is repeating everything 3 times without adding value. The guests are quite knowledgeable. Every time he speaks, he takes out air-time. He needs to improve dramatically.

She says "meat is nutrient dense and easy to absorb" , then why the hell I am eating loads of carbs to elevate my blood sugar and for insulin to wreck havoc on my health????? Everybody wants to make a name for themselves, write a book, give , interview and buy a "healthy" product ... btw, I am neither carnivore nor keto,but I find this questionable. Btw, I eat a very low carb, no sugar, no refined foods like flour etc diet but i won't quite call it keto as yet. Also work out everyday. my blood markers are perfect! Big difference from December to now, and I wasn't diabetic even etc. Just wanted to improve my markers!

[@felipearbustopotd]

If anyone eats plant based - they better have a good knowledge of combining foods to get a complete protein. Quinoa might be complete - but you would end up eating apx 400g to get a decent amount of protein and a HEFTY dose of carbs. Sod that I am sticking with, meat is nutrient dense and easy to absorb.

[@richardcane5682]

Indeed. Sounds like Jonathan’s son is more clued up than any of the “experts”. Or perhaps he just instinctively knows that meat is going to do him far more good than all these plants that are devoid of any useable nutrition.

[@sarahsnowe]

@@richardcane5682 Unfortunately, it won't do the planet any good. Also, it's interesting that (according to my sources) the diet of people in the blue zones is on average 65% complex carbs.

[@chrisbusby4395]

Agreed,it’s ok eating all this plant stuff if you can digest and absorb it,in my case no,I’ll stick to animal protein thanks

[@hannahmulligan1103]

What are you talking about? Fiber slows down the digestion of carbs and absorption of sugar and calories into the blood stream. High fiber foods help stabilize blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity. The affect on microbiota impacts the immune system and insulin sensivity. Meat is high protein, low carb. Doesn't spike blood sugar, however, if you eat a lot of meat, it can spike your blood sugar. Both keto and plant based are great diets in my eyes. Both give substantial improvement in health and blood work parameters. Being on keto though - a lot of the benefits come from avoiding foods that spike insulin. When high carb foods are brought back in, people still usually do not tolerate them well. On a plant based diet, carbs are better tolerated. Insulin is more sensitive. You'll hear ppl argue back and forth between these diets though bc the mental clarity and decrease in inflammation from lower bloodsugar on keto is great for health! The affect of fiber (high carb) on gut health is immense. I have difficulty finding the correct diet.

Most plants contain some nutrients but also anti-nutrients (either gluten, phytates, oxalates, lectins, etc) which can damage your cells, mitochondria and dna, especially in with plants high in sugars leading to inflammation. "Vegans have much smaller amounts of nutrients such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), selenium, zinc, iodine, and vitamin B12, compared to non-vegans, which may lead to detrimental cardiovascular effects." Ultra processed seed oils are also bad for your body like all ultra processed food. Real nutritional science is about biochemistry, anthropology, physiology and botany, not parrotting conclusions from surveys using manipulated data to get the results that are wanted in order to satisfy rich sponsors from Big Ag and Big Pharma.

These "facts" that you bring here have been debunked, so no.

[@redhen689]

The diet of primates consist largely of plants with a few insects on the side. The seventh day Adventists are largely vegetarian, and their lifespans average 10 years longer than people who eat the standard American diet.

[@dennisward43]

@@mickilicyes5399 No they have not been debunked. Believing some non-expert saying they have debunked something is as much sense as stuffing sugar down your neck all day, every day. I repeat, real nutritional science is about biochemistry, anthropology, physiology and botany, not parrotting conclusions from surveys using manipulated data to get the results that are wanted in order to satisfy rich sponsors from Big Ag and Big Pharma.

Zoe has nothing to do with Big Ag or Big Pharma so you probably need to find a different place for your post

[@rpark8265]

I’ve done the Zoe tests and they were genuinely useful ,but the anti meat bias is front and centre Jonathan can’t get through an interview without a meat negative comment.As a farmer who produces meat & dairy I understand the vital part these foods are for us and the environment ,despite what all these academics would like us to believe.

[@timelord5920]

Looks like Federica has replaced Dr Sarah Berry?

[@brianbanks2774]

Why do you say that?

[@difrancophile]

No, Sarah Berry is ZOE's Head Scientist and lead nutritionist on ZOE PREDICT project. Federica Amati is ZOE's Head Nutritionist. Sarah Berry is more senior.

Lentil shepherds pie! What’s wrong with lamb in a shepherd’s pie and get your fibre elsewhere? Zoe will have us die on the alter of net zero. 🙄

[@sarahsnowe]

If we don't try for net zero, homo not-so-sapiens and a whole lot of other species might well die----at least, according to the overwhelming majority of climate scientists. 95% of the species that have ever lived on this planet are now extinct because they couldn't adapt to changing conditions. Ironically, our species is creating the conditions to which it is increasingly failing to adapt.

She is wrong about meat which has been our food for millions of years.

[@ian4iPad2]

I’m getting Zoe fatigue. Too long, too rambling.

[@chrisbusby4395]

lol

[@keithbyrd7566]

Having read your comment before listening to this episode I paid particular attention to your critique point. This podcast was consistently information dense with actionable instructions.

[@elizabethk3238]

Wow! It all boils down to SELLING YOUR MEMBERSHIP!

[@bertwoodshack6617]

Exactly 💰💰💰😆

[@goddessnocturnas]

I picked up on that as well. 😒

[@victoriasmith1897]

You cannot have watched many. The info is world class and I’m sure it started with the aim of selling the membership but there are millions of us across the world who cannot buy the membership.

[@felipearbustopotd]

In the words of the 45th, pure grift.

[@bertwoodshack6617]

Should have called it "Fools for every decade of your life"😉

[@MartinDeBourge]

OK I'm done with Zoe. Jonathan's ramblings are infuriating. He doesn't listen to his subscribers who have IMPLORED him to stop interrupting the guests. And as another viewer has pointed out, it is increasingly obvious ZOE is leaning heavier and heavier on plant based diets. I'll just read descriptions and then go to the guests channels where they can speak freely.

[@sarahsnowe]

He's not THAT bad. Many of his comments and questions seek to clarify what's being said for those who need more help than others in understanding terms and concepts. He could do with speaking less about himself and his kids. As for the plant-based diets, the Blue Zone centenarians eat mostly plants.

[@difrancophile]

They don't make claims unless there's robust science to back it up. And perhaps the subscribers complaining are far outnumbered by those of us who can see that he's trying to keep the discussion accessible to a much wider audience by minimising jargon. Smart.

[@mscd6174]

Well that’s a bit……unhinged. 😅 enjoy your new found channels I’m sure they’ll be delighted you’re watching. 😊

[@SpindlyScoudrel]

Blimey, calm down.

[@robinwright531]

The evidence says plant based is best. Sorry.
