What simple diet changes can help improve long-term health? This week, in the second installment of our Longevity Series, WHOOP SVP, Research Algorithms and Data, Emily Capodilupo sits down with Dr. Federica Amati, Head Nutritionist at ZOE, Nutrition Topic Lead at Imperial College London Faculty of Medicine, and Head of Nutrition Science at Wellfounded Health. Dr. Amati’s primary focus within the health and nutrition space focusses on maternal and early childhood health, women’s health, and the gut microbiome as a modifier for nutrition to improve overall health. ZOE runs the world's largest study in nutrition-science and provides its members with personalized nutrition plans to live healthier. At Zoe, Dr. Amati communicates and provides up-to-date evidence-based research, using food as a tool to transform member health.
