Today we’re revisiting some of our favorite episodes to explore one of the most salient topics in psychology today: trauma. We begin by tracing its developmental roots with Dr. Lindsay Gibson and Dr. Bessel van Der Kolk, before looking at how it can be passed down through family systems with Dr.

Prof. Nicola Segata

Prof. Nicola Segata reveals results from analyzing 34,000+ microbiomes: 50 gut bacteria are strongly linked to health outcomes. Three powerful 'good bugs' suppress pathogenic bacteria and predict cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune health.

Eric Topol

Physician Eric Topol on environmental toxins that undermine health — from endocrine disruptors in personal care products to microplastics in food packaging. Seven specific products to eliminate.

William Li

Physician William Li on evidence-based foods that activate the body's five health defense systems: angiogenesis, regeneration, microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. Simple dietary additions, not restrictions.

Dr. Trisha Pasricha

Harvard gastroenterologist Dr. Trisha Pasricha explains why the gut is the most underappreciated organ in the body — producing 70% of immune cells, 95% of serotonin, and communicating constantly with the brain via the vagus nerve.

Dr. Mark Hyman (solo)

Hyman's metabolic health masterclass: the seven keys to metabolic optimization — blood sugar balance, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, mitochondrial health, detoxification, hormonal balance, and gut health.

Prof. Tim Spector

Tim Spector and Sarah Berry share seven evidence-based nutrition strategies for 2025, synthesizing the year's research findings. Emphasis on plant diversity, fermented foods, olive oil, reducing UPF, meal timing, fiber variety, and personalized nutrition.

Jay Campbell

Jay Campbell discusses cutting-edge supplements and peptides that the mainstream fitness industry ignores — Retatrutide, testosterone optimization, and why most 'performance enhancers' are garbage while a few are genuinely transformative.

Jonathan Wolf

Jonathan Wolf compiles the most impactful moments from ZOE's 2024 episodes: how your 'second brain' in the gut affects mood, why fasting doesn't have to be difficult, how olive oil transforms health, and the power of eating 30 plants a week.

Jonathan Birch

Jonathan Birch on the edge of sentience — where does conscious experience begin in the animal kingdom? His work for the UK government led to octopuses and crabs being recognized as sentient beings in law.

Prof. Tim Spector

Tim Spector explains the bidirectional relationship between sleep and the gut microbiome. Poor sleep disrupts gut bacteria within days; disrupted gut bacteria impair sleep quality. The vicious cycle — and how to break it with diet.

Ocean Vuong

Classic re-release. Ocean Vuong — Vietnamese-American poet and novelist — on language, immigration, the body as archive, and what it means to make a life worthy of the breath that sustains it.
