Episode 307: Dr. Tim Spector

GIN STEPHENS
About this episode

In this special episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Dr. Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College in London and an award-winning expert in personalized medicine and the gut microbiome. 

Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle. 

You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like. 

Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.  

IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community

Tim discovered IF in 2013 through his microbiome research. After he learned about the healing power of fasting, he began his own IF journey. 

Gin and Tim discuss the connection between food choices, gut microbes, and overall health. Tim has a new book out called Food for Life.

Tim’s advice: “Give IF a try. Everyone is different, so everyone’s journey will be different. You’ll have to find your way to do it.”
