[Head Nutritionist at ZOE] We are still eating class 1 carcinogens! Warning labels we NEED on foods

We sit down with Dr Federica Amati, one of the most trusted evidence based voices in nutrition and public health.

From turning her back on traditional clinical medicine to working at the forefront of prevention, Federica shares how a single lecture on processed meat and cancer completely changed the trajectory of her career and led her into public health, nutrition and the gut microbiome.


In this conversation, we talk about:
How Federica went from biomedical science and hospital wards to public health and prevention
The moment she realised what we eat can meaningfully raise or lower our cancer risk
Processed meat, ultra processed foods and how to think about relative vs absolute risk
Why some exposures are truly worth changing your life for, and others are background noise
How the gut microbiome sits between what we eat and how we feel
The “exposome” beyond food: light, air quality, sleep, skincare, packaging and daily habits
Why public health messages often fail, and how to make advice actually actionable
The chaos of nutrition advice on social media and how to tell who is credible
Industry funded research, what safeguards exist, and why “who funded it” is not the whole story
How ZOE went from clinical trials to the Covid Symptom Study app and then into a global nutrition brand
The importance of having a visible scientific leader like Tim Spector to build real trust
How Federica is raising her daughters in today’s food environment without fear mongering

If you are a clinician, health professional or just confused by the noise around nutrition, this episode will help you cut through it and make calmer, more confident decisions about your health.
