    Prof Tim Spector: How Food is Affecting Your Mental Health | GREAT MOMENTS

    We spend more than 2 HOURS every day thinking about food: what to eat, when to eat and what we’re craving next… But how often do we stop to ask, is this actually what my body needs? And more importantly, how is my diet affecting the way I feel? Professor Tim Spector is the co-founder of the ZOE health app and one of the world’s leading experts in gut health. His groundbreaking research has completely transformed the way we understand food.  In this Great Moment, he breaks down the powerful connection between our gut and brain, explaining how simple dietary changes can help lower levels of anxiety and depression.

    SAM THOMPSON: Our Biggest MIC Fallout & Why Jamie Finally Said Sorry

    Sam Thompson and I grew up together on Made in Chelsea. What started as a friendship on the show became something much deeper - he became like a brother to me. We spoke every day and he was there for me through some of the hardest moments in my life. Then everything changed. We had our biggest fallout and it all played out on TV. Since then, we’ve rebuilt our friendship. I’ve watched Sam turn one of the toughest years of his life into one of his best. This conversation looks back at what broke us and what brought us back together. We cover: - Growing up on Made In Chelsea - Our biggest fallout and the phone call that brought us back together - Sam’s first heartbreak and what it’s taught him - Wanting to be a dad and Sam’s fear that time is running out - Why 2025 ended up being Sam’s best year yet This conversation is about how our hardest years can end up teaching us the most - and how it’s never too late to say sorry.
