Tim Spector
The Pioneer
The frontier and an appetite for the unknown, goes first.
Tim Spector reads as The Pioneer because his leadership sits at the frontier where established science meets new territory. As a King's College London epidemiologist and ZOE co-founder, he moves ideas out of the academy and into ventures that test them in the world. His appearance on The Diary of a CEO showed the same instinct, treating public conversation as another proving ground for research that refuses to stay theoretical.
“For 40 years we've been going down the wrong path, we've got so distracted by treating the brain as something so different to the rest of the body.”
“I think I saw the brain as a rather distinct organ... I still believed in this Cartesian view... and I think the thing that triggered it was some of our own experiments which happened a bit by chance.”
“I am uncontainably excited about the idea that we can dramatically improve our lives and our health just by making the right food choices.”
