Well:o exists to empower people to take care of their oral health, because it’s fundamental to overall health. We’ve long admired the work of Tim Spector in promoting a proactive approach to personal health, and are super proud to sponsor Tim’s talk at the Cambridge Literary Festival, on 24th November.
Tim will discuss his latest book, The Food for Life Cookbook which equips people with recipes scientifically proven to support their overall, long-term health.
Tim Spector’s approach to wellness
Tim Spector is a leading British epidemiologist and medical doctor. His work has transformed society’s understanding of the gut microbiome and its profound impact on health. As founder of the ZOE app, Tim has brought personalised nutritional insights to the public, helping people optimise their health based on their unique gut profiles. His research challenges conventional dietary advice, advocating for a Mediterranean-style diet that is plant-rich, high in fibre, and low in ultra-processed foods.
Following his 2022 bestseller Food for Life, Spector’s latest work, The Food for Life Cookbook, offers over 100 gut-friendly recipes. It provides practical solutions for everyday eating, whether you’re preparing a quick meal or a special dish. The emphasis on diverse, plant-based, and fibre-rich foods aligns well:o’s passion for preventive care and overall wellness.
well:o and Tim Spector’s shared values
Like Tim Spector, well:o champions a proactive, long-term approach to health, emphasising prevention over intervention. Our dental hygiene treatments are designed to maintain oral health and help our patients avoid more serious health issues down the line.
- Accessibility: Tim Spector has made expert nutritional advice widely available, and attractive. In the same way, we bring expert dental hygiene to the high street. As a direct access dental hygiene clinic, our dental hygiene appointments are available without needing a dentist referral.
- Overall health: As the gateway to our body, our mouth is central to our overall health and wellbeing. This is why oral health is our passion, and like Tim, we educate our patients on how their dietary choices impact their dental health (mainly through advice on what to avoid and when to eat sugar, if that’s your thing!)
- Empowerment through knowledge: We believe that informed patients are better equipped to take control of their health. That’s why we provide personalised advice during each visit, helping our patients maintain optimal dental wellness at home.
We’re excited to hear what Tim has to say, and look forward to continuing our shared mission to promote and enable long-term healthy habits.
At well:o, we’re bringing dental wellness to life. We’re here to make it easier to keep mouths healthy and happy. We offer preventive hygiene treatments bespoke to each patient, without the need to see a dentist first.
