00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: to be having her on the show this December as well.

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: I've already got my copy. I cannot wait to start reading. Okay,

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: now let's talk about today Today's welles Wednesday, and we're

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: talking to Professor Sarah Berry all about menopause. But today's

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: conversation is going to be a little different. You know,

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: we've talked about menopause on the show before, but we're

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: not just talking about the usual symptoms or the changes

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: we might expect. Today, we're talking about what you put

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: at the end of your fork and how it can

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: impact your menopausal health.

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so excited for this conversation because we've had

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: the pleasure of talking to doctors and experts about menopause

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: on the show before, sure, and we've learned some surprising symptoms.

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: We've learned about the importance of exercise and what we

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 3: can expect as our bodies change, which is all super

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: important because I think the dialogue about menopause has finally

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: been opened up in American society. But today we're giving

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: you the researched backed tips on how nutrition, what we eat,

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: when we eat, and even how often we eat can

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: have a major impact on our lives. So Professor Barry

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: has conducted nutrition research trials for more than twenty years.

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: She's a professor at King's College, London and chief scientists

41
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: at a nutrition science startup that helps users reach their

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: health goals with personalized recommendations. And like you said Simone

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: about the ends of our forks, I think sometimes the

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: best medicine, so to speak, is our nutrition. So I'm

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: really excited for this conversation.

46
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: Let's bring her in. Professor Sarah Berry, Welcome to the

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: bright Side.

48
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on the bright side.

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: Now, you've recently published the largest ever study on the

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: impact of diet on menopause symptoms. I'm so curious what

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: symptoms you were tracking, what you were looking to understand.

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Tell us about this study.

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, so in ah Zoe, you credic cohorts. So this

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: huge group we had over seventy thousand individuals who were

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: either pery or postmenopause or women. We asked them to

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: tell us about the symptoms they're experiencing, but also grade

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: them each symptom on a scale of zero to five

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: as to how much they impacted their quality of life.

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: And I think what was most interesting about this research

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: was just seeing how prevalent the symptoms were. We saw,

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 4: for example, that eighty percent of women were experiencing sleep disturbances,

62
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: brain fog, memory loss, mood changes, depression, anxiety. In more

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: than eighty percent of women, and that sixty six percent

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: of women had twelve or more symptoms. You know, that's huge,

65
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: and you know many of them were reporting these to

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: have a really big impact on their quality of life.

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: And I think one of the things that I found

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: most interesting doing this research is I came in very

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: much thinking, Okay, menopause is very much about hot flashes

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: and night sweats. You know, all of the search around

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: diet or lifestyle modification has always been, okay, how does

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: this impact what we call the phasomotor symptoms, So those

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: symptoms related to blood vessel function, such as night sweats,

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: such as hot flushes, but actually those were the least prevalent,

75
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: and we found that it was only about thirty to

76
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: forty percent of people actually had any type of hot

77
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: flush or any type of kind of night swere it

78
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: was all of these other kind of psychological symptoms that

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: we know have such wide reaching impacts on other areas

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: of people's lives that were most prevalent, which is really interesting.

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: In addition to looking at menopause symptoms, this study also

82
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: looked at how symptoms and diet are linked. What did

83
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: you determine by tracking symptoms and diet.

84
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 4: So I think what I found most surprising is just

85
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: how closely associated diet was with symptom prevalence of symptom burden.

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 4: And what we found is really close association with people's

87
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: diet quality, so their oval helpfulness of the diet and

88
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: their prevalence of symptoms. And for every kind of step

89
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: wise improvement that people were showing in their diet, there

90
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: is a reduction in symptoms. What we also saw was

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: that people's body weight and their BMI, in particular their

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: body mass index was also playing a role in this.

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: So people who had a higher BMI who were living

94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: with obesity or overweight had a lot higher prevalence of symptoms,

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 4: and that changing diet reduced symptoms, but also changing diet

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: where modified body weight was also reducing symptoms, So I

97
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: think that was really interesting. And what we found is

98
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: those that were more adherent to a healthier diet had

99
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 4: the biggest improvements in the menopause symptoms.

100
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: So interesting.

101
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: You've described menopause as a time of major metabolic upheaval.

102
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: How does menopause affect our metabolism and does it actually

103
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: as probably the other question.

104
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think when we think about menopause. So

105
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 4: we need to think about it in two areas. We

106
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: need to think about it in the areas that we've

107
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: just been talking about. So it's symptoms. But what we

108
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: also know is that menopause impacts our health and disease risk.

109
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: So we also know that it impacts many many intermediary

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: risk factors associated with chronic diseases. And so by this

111
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: I mean blood pressure, insert sensitivity, blood cholesterol, inflammation, and

112
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: so many other factors that we know are related to

113
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: chronic diseases. And we recently published some research where we

114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 4: were looking at all of these risk factors as we

115
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 4: call them, and we were looking at all different ages

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 4: and males of females and according to menopausal status. And

117
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: what we see is that in premenopausally, women are doing

118
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 4: a lot better than men. Women have lower blood pressure,

119
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: lower levels of inflamma, better in slid sensitivity, lower adiprocity,

120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: so less fatter around the waist, lower blood cholesterol, etc.

121
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: Soon as the women hit the postmenopausal phase, suddenly these

122
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: all go up, and suddenly they even in the case

123
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: of blood pressure, for example, get worse than men. So

124
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: suddenly women's risk of disease, where before they were quite

125
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: protected because of estrogen suddenly changes and so does how

126
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: they metabolize their food. And so this is why I

127
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: think we need to be a little bit more mindful,

128
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: not obsessed, but more mindful when you're peri and postmenopausal

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: about the foods that we're eating, not just for symptom prevention,

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: but also in order to prevent that big increase in

131
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: risk that we see once you start the perimenopause transition.

132
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: As I was listening to you speak, I was wondering

133
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: about all the different diets that are out there. The

134
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: carnivore diet, ancestral diet, Mediterranean diet. Are any of these

135
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: trendy diet it's beneficial to our menopausal bodies.

136
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: So a lot of the more popular or new diets

137
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: haven't been researched in relation to menopause. There's actually very

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: little research looking at whole dietary patterns. What we do

139
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: know is that there are lots of studies looking at

140
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: individual supplements, individual foods, individual nutrients and looking at how

141
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: they impact menopause or symptoms. But the sum of that

142
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 4: evidence is really inconsistent, partly because small numbers of participants

143
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: have been recruited, that there's such variability in people's symptoms,

144
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: that people symptoms vary day to day. It does mean

145
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 4: it's quite challenging, I think for us giving guidance based

146
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: on some of these smaller randomized control trials where also

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: there's different doses used, and we also know that different

148
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: people respond very differently to different supplements when it comes

149
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: to menopause symptoms.

150
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: Well, it makes me wonder if we're even entering into

151
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: menopause with our nutrition up to par because I just

152
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: started taking zinc selenium vitamin A to kind of help

153
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: balance out my hormones and it has changed my life.

154
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: I have realized in the past couple of weeks I

155
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: have been walking around this earth vitamin efficient for the

156
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: past fifteen years. I don't have pain in my periods anymore,

157
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: my skin looks better, I feel better, And I'm wondering

158
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: if we're even if we're entering into menopause nutrients deficient.

159
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, that's an interesting point. I

160
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 4: hold a view that I think most people consuming a

161
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 4: reasonable diet have all of the nutrients they need. Many

162
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: of us that actually have the best diets tend to

163
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: be the ones that over worry about it or health

164
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: optimize as a psychll them the people that need to worry,

165
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: the people that really have no interest in their diet

166
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: or or you know, understand the importance of diet. But

167
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: in the UK and the US, there's actually very small

168
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: proportion in my opinion, who are actually deficient in certain nutrients.

169
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: What we do know, though, is that different people absorb

170
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: nutrients differently. Take for example, protein, we know that some

171
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: people absorb all of the protein that they're eating. We

172
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: know that some people absorb very little of it. And

173
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: so I think this is where it's really important to

174
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: see what works for you. So something for you, you

175
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: felt differently after taking those supplements, but you you know,

176
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: your friends or someone else might not feel differently after

177
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: taking them. So I do think sometimes it's about thinking, Okay,

178
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, I do have a moderately healthy diet,

179
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: but I don't quite feel right. Let me try something

180
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 4: and see what works. And I think this really really

181
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: applies to menopause supplements that are sold as well. So

182
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: the one supplement that we know there is reasonable evidence

183
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 4: for are soy eyes of Flay Vonnes And this is

184
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: a great example of how we all respond very differently,

185
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: and we all need to work out what works for

186
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: us as an individual rather than listen to what one

187
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: influencer or another kind of social media person might be

188
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: advocating for.

189
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: We've got to take a quick break ball we write

190
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: back with Professor Sarah Berry, and we're back with Professor

191
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: Sarah Berry.

192
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: Professor Berry, I was interested to see that you've studied

193
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: snacking in the past.

194
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: What's the truth about snacking?

195
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: Because some people say it's okay as long as it's

196
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: high protein, and some people totally write off snacks altogether.

197
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: So hit us with the facts.

198
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: I love that you've asked me about snacking. It's one

199
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 4: of my favorite topics. So what we know is that

200
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: we get a huge amount of our energy from snacks.

201
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: So in the UK and the US, we get about

202
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: twenty five end of our total daily calories from snacks.

203
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: Now what's great about that is it means it's the

204
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: single simplest dietary strategy that we can implement to improve

205
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 4: our health. If we're getting a quarter of our calories

206
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 4: from just snacks, which tend to be under our own

207
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: self control because my dinner is dictated by what my

208
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: fussy kids will eat. My lunch is dictated by where

209
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 4: I happen to be in the office, out on the streets, etc.

210
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: But snacks, for many of us, we can actually control ourselves.

211
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: We did some research looking at whether snacking itself is

212
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: bad for our health or whether actually it just matters

213
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: what you snack on or how important is the time

214
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: of day that you snack, And what we found was

215
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: that this grazing style pattern of eating or having multiple snacks,

216
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: as long as they were healthy snacks, were not associated

217
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: with any unfavorable health effects. When it became a problem

218
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: was purely if you were eating unhealthy snacks. Another thing

219
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 4: we looked at was the timing of snacking, and there

220
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: was a large proportion of individuals who were snacking after

221
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 4: nine in the evening. Those individuals came off worse in

222
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: terms of health outcomes. They had poorer insulin sensitivity, they

223
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: had higher bloodcholesterol, higher blood pressure, greater antiprocity so fab

224
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: tissuer around a belly, which we know is so many

225
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: unfaithful health outcomes, and yet people who were snacking earlier

226
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: in the day, we weren't seeing the same thing. And

227
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 4: this was even for those people who were snacking on

228
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: healthy snacks after nine o'clock. And I did a study

229
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: about ten years ago where all we want you to

230
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: do is change your snacks to either consume these test

231
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: kind of dummy snacks that are representative of a US

232
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: snack or nuts in this case as Holman nuts. Let's

233
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: see how it impacts your health. And what we found

234
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 4: was just by changing people snacks improved their blood cholesterol,

235
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 4: improved their insolent sensitivity, improved their blood vessel functional and

236
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: the improvement that we saw in blood vessel function actually

237
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: equated to a thirty percent reduction in cardiovascular disease risk

238
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: just from changing snacking. And I love to use snacking

239
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: as an example of where yes, for pairing post menopause women,

240
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: we've talked about how diet impacts their symptoms and how

241
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: diet is really important because of their sudden change in risk.

242
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: So actually, you know, thinking about focusing on something simple

243
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: like your snacks could have a really profound impact on

244
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: your own for long term health.

245
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: Is it more important to focus on when we eat

246
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: or what we eat for snacks?

247
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: I would say it's more important to focus on what

248
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: we eat for snacks, but I would say it's also

249
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: important to consider when we eat, but I would say

250
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: not just for snacks, for food overall. We know that,

251
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: you know, it's really important to consider our circasian rhythm.

252
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: We know that in our body, every cell has its

253
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: own little body clock. We know that if you eat

254
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: too late in the evening, whether it's this or your

255
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: main meal, that actually you're not eating in tune with

256
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: your body clock, and that we know that therefore how

257
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 4: you metabolize the food is slightly differently, and that it

258
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: increases risk of many of these intermediary risk factors like

259
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: your blood cholesterol, like your you know, blood pressure, like

260
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: your inflammation, et cetera. We also know if you eat

261
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: later at night, you actually wake up more hungry the

262
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: next morning, which is kind of counterintuitive. So if you're

263
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: eating your snacks or your main meal later in the evening,

264
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: you're going to feel more hungry when you wake up

265
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: than if you finish your meal slightly earlier in the day.

266
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: And I think this is really important again for pairing

267
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: post menopause or women, because our hunger signals are also

268
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: changed during menopause. You know, we have estrogen receptors in

269
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: or nearly every cell in our body. We have loads

270
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: of estrogen receptors in our brain and in our gut,

271
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 4: and so how we perceive hunger changes slightly as well.

272
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: And I often hear people saying, you know, I'm eating

273
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: exactly what I before the menopause, but I'm hungry all

274
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: the time. Well, it's because our estrogen also impacts our

275
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: perception of hunger. And so this is why, again it's

276
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: so important to think about the timing that you're eating,

277
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 4: given that we know your hunger signals also change.

278
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: When you think about sugar in your study, do you

279
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: think about and test for the difference between natural sugars

280
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: from fruits and sugar from dessert type items.

281
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, good question. So in the research in our cohort

282
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: of seventy thousand women, where we've looked at the association

283
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: between diet and different symptoms, that's where we're starting to

284
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: tease a part added sugar sugar in fruit. We haven't

285
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: actually specifically looked at x grams of sugar in fruit

286
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: versus x grams of added sugar. What we do see

287
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: those that fruit is associated with a lower prevalence of

288
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: symptoms yeat added sugar or products that we know of

289
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: that kind of very heavily processed high in sugar, like

290
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: cakes and pastries, associated with higher prevalence of symptoms. But

291
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: I think that what we need to remember is that

292
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: as well as thinking of the nutrients I either sugar,

293
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: we have to think about food as well in terms

294
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: of the matrix of the food, so the food structure.

295
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: And this is something I've spent many years researching, looking

296
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: at how changing the structure of the food changes how

297
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: we metabolize it. And this is more and more important

298
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: in the current food landscape we live in where so

299
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 4: much of our food is processed. So this matrix is

300
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: structure of food is change. And so whether you're having

301
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 4: food is whole fruit, pure d fruit, fruit smoothies or

302
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 4: fruit juice has quite a different effect in terms of

303
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 4: how we metabolize it based on how intact the actual

304
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: structure that original food matrix is.

305
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: You've got to say more about that, because all the

306
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: Ariwon burlies a chill went down their spine when you

307
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: said that we metabolize the fruit and smoothies differently. So

308
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: what do you mean by that?

309
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: So I think we need to think as three main areas.

310
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 4: So nutrients, I fraid you know, macronutriants, PROTD fat, fiber, carbohydrate.

311
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: So if we take almonds as an example of this,

312
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: if you look at the back of pack labeling for almonds,

313
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: that it says that there's one hundred and seventy calories

314
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 4: per serving of almonds, but actually the matrix are the

315
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 4: structure of almonds means that we don't absorb all of that.

316
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 4: We actually only absorb about one hundred and twenty five

317
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: rather than one hundred and seventy calories. And that's because

318
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: nuts contain thousands and thousands and thousands of cells with

319
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 4: really rigid cell walls, and it's the fat and the

320
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 4: calories are contained within these really rigid cell walls. We

321
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: swallow us when there are quite big chunks, so they're

322
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 4: normally about one to two millimeters, but the cell particles,

323
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: the cells inns, are tiny. They're less than a grain

324
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 4: of sand. So actually a lot of that remains intact

325
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: and it just comes out in your poo. The same

326
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: thing happens in fruit, for example. But what happens is

327
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 4: is you absorb all of the nutrients, but you change

328
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: the speed at which you absorb these. So if you

329
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: take a whole apple, for example, and then if you

330
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: take apple pure, what you're doing is you're changing the

331
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 4: texture of the feud, so you're changing how fast you

332
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: eat it. And so what we know is that it

333
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: would take you on average about six minutes to eat

334
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: an apple, It will take you about forty seconds to

335
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: eat the equivalent of pure es, centering your stomach more

336
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: quickly so that you're then releasing it into bloodstream more quickly,

337
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 4: so you're then getting this big glucose peak. This can

338
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: cause a glucose dip, So two to four hours after

339
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: the meal, you have a dipping glucose. If you have

340
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 4: a glucose dip after a meal, we know from our

341
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: own research most people go on to eat their next

342
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: meal thirty minutes earlier. They go on to eat one

343
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: hundred calories more at their next meal, three hundred calories

344
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 4: more over the whole day. And so there's some fantastic

345
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 4: research that was published many years ago by this guy

346
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 4: called Haber. This was in the Lancet, This was in

347
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy seven where he fed people whole apples, pureed

348
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 4: apples or apple juice, and he saw this big difference

349
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: in the speed in which people were eating their apples.

350
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 4: And he saw this big difference as well in people's

351
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 4: self reported hunger and fullness level. So the whole apple

352
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: kept people full of for longer. The apple purea, the

353
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 4: apple juice didn't keep people us full. They went on

354
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 4: to consume more. And we see this play out in

355
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: our own studies as well. And what blows my mind

356
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 4: that these are foods that have exactly the same backupack labeling,

357
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 4: but how you process them is very different just because

358
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: of the structure. And this is why one of the

359
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: reasons that heavily process foods are not so healthy for us.

360
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: It's not all about the additives or all about emulsifiers

361
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: or what people you know, talk about a lot. It's

362
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: also because you're changing the texture and you're changing the structure,

363
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: and you're changing the availability of the nutrients as well.

364
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: Wow, so it sounds like slower is better like slower absolutely? Yeah?

365
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

366
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: Wow. Are there any startups that you recommend or services

367
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: that we can try in order to really take a

368
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: comprehensive assessment of our nutrition and just make sure that

369
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 2: we are completely up to date and nourished. Yeah.

370
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: So, first thing I'd recommend is to try our Zoe menoscale.

371
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 4: This is a menoscale calculator. It's free for anyone. You

372
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 4: can go to the Zoe dot com website and then

373
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 4: it's forward slash menoscale and this is a calculator that

374
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 4: allows you to measure the burden of menopause symptoms that

375
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: it has on you. And this is really important because

376
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 4: we're talking about how diet or life might help reduce

377
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 4: your symptoms. But it's very difficult to measure your symptoms

378
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: because it's so subjective and you know, it's difficult to think, ohll,

379
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 4: how did I feel yesterday? So it's the first thing

380
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: you can do. You start tracking our symptoms. We often,

381
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: you know, talk in science, right if you can't measure it,

382
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: how can you change it? So it's the first thing,

383
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: start measuring them if you do want to change, whether

384
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: it's through drugs like hormone replacement therapy, or whether it's

385
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: through dieting lifestyle. The other thing you can go to

386
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: is our Zoe website. So Zoe is this science and

387
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: nutrition company that I'm the chief scientist of and there

388
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 4: is so much actionable advice on our website. We also

389
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 4: have a podcast called the Zoe Science and Nutrition Podcast.

390
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 4: We do a lot of episodes around women's health, menopause.

391
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 4: But it's all about how we can use diarting lifestyle

392
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: to improve our health, whether you're menopausal or not. And

393
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 4: so you can just go to the ZOO website and

394
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: find out all about those different opportunities.

395
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for that. Those are great resources, Pleasure.

396
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: Professor Barry, it was wonderful to speak with you. Thank

397
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 3: you for joining us today.

398
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Pleasure, thank you for having me on.

399
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: Sarah Barry is the chief scientist at ZOE and a

400
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: professor at King's College in London. We have to take

401
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: another short break, but we'll be back in just a minute.

402
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere, and we're.

403
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: Back, Danielle. As you know, we've teamed up with our

404
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: friends at Exact Sciences, makers of the Coliguard test, to

405
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: clear up some misconceptions about screening for colon cancer. So

406
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: today I thought we could put some of our knowledge

407
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: to the test.

408
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: There's nothing I like more than making sure our bright

409
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: side besties are informed to make the best decisions for

410
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: their health.

411
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to give you some scenarios and you

412
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: let me know if it's a fact or a misconception.

413
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: You ready, Let's do it first, up, Many patients with

414
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: early stage colon cancer have no symptoms and are diagnosed

415
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: through screening.

416
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: That's a fact.

417
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: You're right. Many people think that colon cancer always has

418
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 2: definitive symptoms, but that's a complete misconception.

419
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: Okay.

420
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: Next up, If you eat a healthy diet and exercise,

421
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 2: you are at a low risk for colon cancer.

422
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: That's a misconception.

423
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: You're right. No one is at a low risk for

424
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 2: colon cancer. Even with no family history, you're still at

425
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: an average risk. I was surprised to learn that seventy

426
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: percent of people with colon cancer have no family history.

427
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: That's what makes testing so important. Okay, I have one

428
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: for you, Simone. You should start screening for colon cancer

429
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 3: at the age of fifty.

430
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, I have heard that before, but based on

431
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: our earlier facts, I actually think it should be younger

432
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: than that.

433
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Exactly, if you're at average risk. The recommended age to

434
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 3: start screening is forty five, and if you're eligible, the

435
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 3: colon Guard test is easy to use.

436
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: I know that is a fact. The Colargard test is

437
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 2: an easy to use way to screen for colon cancer.

438
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: It's non invasive, you don't have to take off time

439
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: from work and there's no special prep needed. It's delivered

440
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: to your door and after a sample is collected at home,

441
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: you ship it back to the laboratory for testing and

442
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: results are available within about two weeks.

443
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 3: And the Coligard test can detect pre cancerous polyups and

444
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 3: helps address any issues now before it becomes serious if

445
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: left untreated.

446
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: How do you know so much about all this?

447
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: I have friends that have been diagnosed with colon cancer

448
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 3: and luckily they caught it early, so I know how

449
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: important this is. So if you're forty five or older

450
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening

451
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: for colon cancer with the Coliguard test. You can also

452
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: request a Coliguard prescription today through a telehealth provider at

453
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: coliguard dot com slash podcast.

454
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: The Coligard test is intended to screen adults forty five

455
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not

456
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: use a Coligard test if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory

457
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or

458
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: family history of colorectal cancer. The Colliguard test is not

459
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: a replacement for colonoscopy and high risk patients. Colliguard test

460
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: performance in adults ages forty five to forty nine is

461
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: estimated based on a large clinical study of patients fifty

462
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: and older. False positives and false negatives can occur. Coliguard

463
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: is available by prescription only. That's it for today's show. Tomorrow,

464
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: it's Thanksgiving, y'all, and we are ringing in the holiday
