The gut microbiome has become one of the most exciting frontiers in nutrition science, challenging conventional wisdom about everything from metabolism and immune health to our mental well-being. Few companies have done more to commercialize this emerging science than ZOE, the personalized nutrition startup co-founded by King's College London epidemiologist Tim Spector.
