I signed up to the Zoe personalised nutrition programme, and I've been obsessed with it ever since
I'm one of those people who's probably pretty healthy but constantly worried there's something terrible waiting just round the corner. If you're in your mid-forties like me, you probably know the feeling.
The initial spark of inspiration for my dietary transformation came from stumbling upon the Zoe Science and Nutrition podcast, which quickly taught me a huge amount I didn't know about food but which was quickly actionable. I wrote about that, Zoe's team caught wind of it and offered me a complimentary trial subscription to their tailored nutrition service. It's not cheap. I accepted.
Your blood sugar control Your blood fat control Your gut health The test kit arrived by post in a sleek, eye-catching bright yellow box. I couldn't wait to get started. Once I'd chosen a date to begin the process, I attached the blood sugar sensor to my arm, which pricked my skin with a tiny filament in a completely painless way. The instructions were easy to follow.
The results come back The jaw-dropping moment came nearly three weeks later when I received my results. To my astonishment, I discovered my blood sugar control is "bad", scoring a very low 14 out of 100. Once I collected myself from the initial shock, I thought more rationally about the fact that I didn't actually know whether this was a big deal or not.
What foods are scored on You don't need an app to tell you that a doughnut is never going to score well for its health benefits, or that kale is good for you. But it's between those extremes where you look for the difference. Every food is scored on the following things: In the context of the Zoe programme, whether a food is ultra-processed is a crucial part of its overall score. Zoe also monitors your total intake of UPF over a week.
