Professor Tim Spector, a respected British epidemiologist and medical doctor (Timothy David Spector OBE FMedSci), draws on decades of research into nutrition and the gut microbiome. Rather than promoting another fad diet, Spector demystifies common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients and explains the surprising role that microbes inside us play in health and weight loss. This book is ideal for readers seeking an authoritative, engaging children’s series? No — for adults, families, and educators wanting scientifically grounded guidance in a readable format.

What you’ll learn

Spector explains why the simple mantra “eat less, exercise more” is incomplete, showing how the diversity and behavior of your gut microbes determine how your body responds to different foods. He uses clear examples, case studies and his own pioneering research to highlight practical, sustainable strategies for improving gut health and body composition.
