Ep. 105- Food Reward, Cals in Vs Cals Out, & The Brain & Diet Connection with Stephan Guyenet

Please welcome guest Stephan Guyenet, PhD, author of "The Hungry
Brain" and expert onthe neuroscience of eating behavior and
obesity!! Just a few highlights from what we discuss: -Food reward
& palatability: how this powers choices & food habits -Food
Reward and the case for “addiction”- does it truly exist? -Dopamine
and the brain- the case for how food impacts our brain and the
drive for food -Artificial Sweeteners vs Sugar - does this change
food reward? (IE does Halo Top vs Ben and Jerry's make a difference
with food reward) -The low fat vs low carb debate- the factors that
influence results within research and outcomes (protein intake,
satiety of fat) -The carbohydrate insulin model - let it die.
-Calories in vs calories out- where inflammation, gut health,
circadian rhythms, and hormone balance also matter -Genetic Testing
