REV On Air: Reviving The Soil-Gut Microbiome Connection with Federica Amati of ZOE
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x DIRT Charity Regenerative Podcast Series!
In the fourth episode of our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with DIRT Charity, we speak to Federica Amati, Head Nutritionist at ZOE. You may have seen ZOE on your screens being advertised as a new innovative solution to personal health but it’s much more than that. When you have someone like Federica behind the scenes, you know that nutrition dives much deeper into the microbiome and the connection we all have to the soil our is grown in. As you will learn in this podcast, Federica’s mindset is something that we all need to adopt, sooner rather than later. She shares some incredibly interesting facts, from the perpetuation of convenience to the integral need of animals in an ecosystem.

“If you don’t eat a variety of plants, it’s not that just nothing happens, it’s not that you just don’t get the benefits, it’s that something else in its place will grow, that won’t be as beneficial.”
Federica Amati
About ZOE:
ZOE (Greek for ‘life’) is a health science company that was founded on the belief that novel digital technologies can enable human research at an unprecedented depth and scale, in order to tackle global health issues. Their approach combines artificial intelligence, digital technologies and collaboration with leading scientists around the world.
Combining large-scale biological data with machine learning and microbiome sequencing has enabled them to predict personal nutritional responses to foods and provide people with a better understanding of their unique metabolism and gut microbiome. These personalized insights can allow individuals to make impactful changes to improve their overall health.
ZOE run the world’s largest in-depth nutrition study, and they’ve turned their research into a personalized program that gives you insights into how your body responds to food.
“In terms of seeds, and the different variety of plants, variety of microbes, we’ve lost 50% of the diversity that we used to have when we were foragers, we know this by looking at the gut microbiome composition of Hadza tribes, these people that still live as foragers on the land have twice as many different diversity of gut microbes than we have. So we’ve already got rid of 50% and what we have instead is this much narrower availability of different microbes…
in the same way we have a much narrower variety of plants than we used to and that used to grow on our lands. And as a result the chemicals that these microbes can make for us to help support our health, and to help keep us as happy and thriving as possible, that’s changed, our biome has to work much harder with less diversity, not very good soil, to try and keep us healthy”
