There is no one size fits all for weight loss, and not everyone will respond the same to specific diets, lifestyle changes, and medications, including Ozempic. In this episode of Practically Healthy, Dr Melina welcomes world renowned gastroenterologist and obesity expert Andres J. Acosta, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Acosta is the head of the Precision Medicine for Obesity Laboratory at Mayo Clinic and co-founder of Phenomix Sciences, a precision medicine company that uses your DNA to predict your response to weight loss interventions.  The doctors discuss the four obesity phenotypes that Dr Acosta and colleagues have identified:  Hungry Brain, Hungry Gut, Emotional Hunger, and Slow Burn and how using these phenotypes to create personalized treatment plans including diet, exercise and medication, can double weight loss. To learn more about this exciting new testing, visit Phenomix Sciences :: Double the effectiveness of weight-loss.  

Are you frustrated by the stubborn body fat that won't come off despite all your efforts? Do you ever wonder if it's all due to lack of discipline, or could there be a deeper reason? And how much do your genetics actually play a role in your fat loss journey?Philip (@witsandweights) dives into the fascinating world of neuroscience and body composition with special guest Dr. Stephan Guyenet, a neuroscientist, obesity researcher, and author of The Hungry Brain. They explore the science behind why some people struggle more than others to lose weight and how genetics might be the hidden force shaping your body fat levels. Dr. Guyenet also breaks down how the brain's reward system influences your cravings and reveals how minor tweaks to your environment and habits can make a huge difference in your fat loss efforts.Dr. Stephan Guyenet has spent over a decade studying the neuroscience of obesity. With a PhD in neuroscience, his work focuses on the brain's role in regulating body fat and how our modern environment contributes to weight gain. He is also the founder of Red Pen Reviews, which provides scientific accuracy scores for popular health and nutrition books.

Hello again, friends! I want to confess something to you all today. I'm not perfect. The past week was terrible for my intuitive eating practice, I just haven't been doing it, and I'm only just getting back on track now. That's what I want to confess. What I want to share is my experience with why I fell out of my practice this week and how intuitive eating is a journey and not a destination. I want you to understand what is important to know about yourself and intuitive eating before you start and I believe sharing my struggles with you will be helpful for all of us. So here it is, how the week from hell made me fall out of intuitive eating.   The week started with my husband Rob and I coming home from camping. When we're camping, I'm really good at intuitive eating. We have to plan what to bring, I'm not stressed, I can listen to my body, it's a beautiful thing. But we came home hungry to an empty kitchen. Not a big deal. We ordered pizza. And that's allowed! Waking up for an early day the next morning is when things got tricky, though. We still didn't have groceries, I didn't have breakfast, I had a bunch of meetings and I was driving on an empty stomach. I ended up eating drive-thru and because Rob had a similarly busy day, we ordered pizza for dinner again. That's how the week went. I couldn't get on top of my schedule and I was so busy I was far too hungry to listen to my body and instead just grabbed whatever food I could to stop the hunger. This is what's important to know about intuitive eating: you can't do it when you feel starving. A hungry brain won't let your body make intuitively good choices. And sometimes it's just like that. It's a journey, not a destination. So join me in this episode as I share what I know we've all experienced at some point and I encourage you to keep up with your own intuitive eating just like I'm doing.__About Dr. Michelle Tubman:Dr. Michelle Tubman is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which means she understands exactly what's happening in your body when you diet.

The Hungry Brain : https://amzn.to/4cFBP2h Today I speak with the author of The Hungry Brain Dr Stephan Guyenet. We find out that weightloss isn't a simple case of willpower but that we are in fact slaves to our ancient brains. We hear about the part of the brain that wants us to to retain our bodyweight and by extension our bodyfat for health and fertility reasons. The good news is we can influence this part if the brain through our diet and behaviours. We hear about how the brain views some foods as rewards and about high value foods. Plus we discover what proportion of our weight is dictated by our genes.

The worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled in less than fifty years.    If we are more informed about potential health consequences than ever before, why are more and more adults choosing unhealthy eating habits that lead to weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease?    Dr. Stephan Guyenet, who has spent more than a decade studying the neuroscience of body fatness, argues that most of us aren't choosing our eating habits at all.   His book, The Hungry Brain, dives into the idea that eating behaviors aren't a result of weakness or poor willpower but of an evolutionary mismatch between our brain's ancient programming and our current environment.    Today, he sits down with Dotsie and Alexandra to explain how our brains are hardwired to seek the high-calorie, dopamine-releasing foods that our ancestors relied on and why that works against us in modern society.    You'll hear how your neurochemistry is influencing your eating habits, why you're suddenly hungry for dessert after being satiated by dinner, and what you can do to overcome some of these neurological triggers that make it difficult to change the way you eat.    If you've ever been frustrated by a craving or your habit of second helpings, don't miss this episode to hear why. If you want to change your stomach, you need to focus on your head.   “The greater variety of the types of foods that we have available to us, the more calories we will tend to eat at a meal, and we won't even necessarily feel any more full.” - Dr. Stephan Guyenet   What we discuss in this episode: - Dotsie's experience at the Plant-Based World Conference & Expo - How convenience, cost, and the palatable seduction of food have contributed to higher rates of obesity - Why do we have a greater eating drive than we did only a century ago? Dr. Stephan Guyenet explains how our ability to concentrate dopamine-releasing ingredients is qualitatively similar to the creation of crack cocaine  - The evolutionary mismatch: How our ancestors' drive to survive is working against us today - What do genetics have to do with our body composition and our penchant for overeating - Why you should focus on diet before exercise if you're hoping to lose weight - Understanding the two systems of our brain and why activities like exercise require overcoming the effort barrier of System 1 and thinking with System 2 - The fat regulatory system, the starvation response, and why “calories in, calories out” is not as simple as counting numbers on a nutrition label - The two things that slow your metabolic rate and what you can do about them - Simple things you can try to overcome your body's starvation response and limit your habit of overeating   Resources: - Website: StephanGuyenet.com   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

Stephan Guyenet on How the Brain Controls Eating and ObesityThis episode with Stephan Guyenet examines the brain processes that drive appetite and eating behavior. Stephan is a neuroscientist who has studied what drives many of us to overeat and become overweight, and why it is so hard to lose weight.  He did his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at the University of Washington, and wrote the popular heath blog, Whole Health Source. In 2017 he published a highly acclaimed book about this - The Hungry Brain.  It continues to garner praise and attention, and was featured last February on the New York Times' Ezra Klein podcast. Stephan has spoken at the Ancestral Health Symposium several times on topics relating to the metabolic and neurological processes that underlie eating behavior and obesity.Our conversation with Stephan touches on how evolution shaped our brain circuits to function in a way that is mismatched to the modern food environment.  Weight control is not a simple matter of willpower, but of better awareness to how our neurobiology and reward circuits respond to different foods.Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:1:57       How Stephan got interested in the brain's role in obesity3:12       Obesity as a modern phenomenon and it's rarity in pre-industrial societies like the Hazda6:45       Theories on the cause of the obesity epidemic - macronutrients, processed foods, food abundance11:31     Why It's not just about carbohydrates or refined carbs14:10     And it's also not just about omega-6 seed oils17:10     Food cravings and calorie dense highly palatable food18:52     The evidence from rat studies24:29     Food combinations and dopamine release in the brain25:48     Sensory specific satiety28:03     Is palatability inherent in food, hardwired in the brain, or learned through conditioning?33:08     The mismatch between our brain reward circuits and modern processed foods36:09     What is dopamine and how does it work in the brain to induce cravings?45:07     How to extinguish food cravings by changing what we eat46:47     How low carb and low fat diets can both work48:11     The role of food flavor in appetite control49:52     Recruiting non-conscious brain circuits to support your weight loss goals50:33     Which diets Stephan thinks are best supported by the evidence56:17     Satiety and calorie density58:06     What Stefan is working on now Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

What makes us overeat and why do we continue to do it when we know deep down, we really don't need or want to? Armed with a BS in Biochemistry and a PhD in Neuroscience Dr. Stephan Guyenet has thrown himself into research around the neuroscience of obesity for 12 years now and argues against problem being a lack of willpower or understanding of what to eat. Rather, that our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. Circuits that sure don't give a toss how we look at the beach this summer! In this ep we talk about dopamine and pleasure foods, the blatant bullsh^t that manufacturers use in their marketing, how we are seduced by food and why do I go from not hungry to hungry after seeing that it's 'lunch time'.   SPONSORED BY TESTART FAMILY LAWYERS Website: testartfamilylawyers.com.au STEPHAN GUYENET Website: stephanguyenet.com TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches Website: rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook:  facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram:  instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: instagram.com/tiffaneeandcoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can find Stephen at:stephanguyenet.orgTwitter @sguyenetAre you curious about the intricate ties between obesity, our brains, and evolution? This episode promises to satiate that curiosity and deliver insights you can't afford to miss. Our guest, neuroscientist Stephan Guyenet, unravels the complexities of body fatness and its relationship with our brain. Fascinated by the dissonance between our evolved traits and our modern environment, Stefan takes us through a journey of how our ancestors interacted with food and exercise, compared to our current practices.We dissect the influence of diet and physical activity on body fatness, exploring the connections between calorie-dense, refined foods and increased body fatness. We also delve into how palatability and satiety play significant roles in weight regulation. Stephan enlightens us on the profound impact of our modern lifestyles on our circadian rhythms  and offers tips on how small changes can mitigate any adverse effects. He also shares valuable strategies on navigating food choices.We touch on the role of non-conscious brain systems in eating and how understanding these systems can help us better navigate our food choices and temptations. Stefan also explains  how different energy substrates impact our satiety levels.Perhaps our mst important topic, we agree to parter up for a new business venture, The Hadza Cafe! (Joking, maybe...)

In this episode of Collective Insights we're joined by Dr. Stephen Guyenet, author of the acclaimed book, "The Hungry Brain". The topic? How the human brain affects our food choices. Dr. Guyenet lays the case that our ancient, instinctive brain circuits (hello, dopamine!) lead us astray in our food choices, and these circuits don't care about our long-term health goals. Rather than blaming individuals for their lack of willpower, he suggests that our appetites and food choices are driven by a survival game that no longer exists. Listen in as we take an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience, gaining profound insights into why our brain undermines our weight goals and offers practical guidelines for eating intentionally.

[Content note: food, dieting, obesity] I. The Hungry Brain gives off a bit of a Malcolm Gladwell vibe, with its cutesy name and pop-neuroscience style. But don't be fooled. Stephan Guyenet is no Gladwell-style dilettante. He's a neuroscientist studying nutrition, with a side job as a nutrition consultant, who spends his spare time blogging about nutrition, tweeting about nutrition, and speaking at nutrition-related conferences. He is very serious about what he does and his book is exactly as good as I would have hoped. Not only does it provide the best introduction to nutrition I've ever seen, but it incidentally explains other neuroscience topics better than the books directly about them do. https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/25/book-review-the-hungry-brain/  

Sticking to a diet can be challenging when you constantly feel hungry. Listen as Pretty Healthy Family talks about the principles in the book by Stephan J.

A new class of drugs for weight loss have become available and are showing promising results. That's welcome news, as a recent report estimates that half of the world's population is expected to be overweight or obese by 2035. Obesity is a disease which can lead to serious health complications–and most previous attempts at treating it have proven futile. Can the new weight-loss drugs turn the tide against this global threat?Louise Baur, president of the World Obesity Federation crunches the numbers on the global impact of overweight and obesity. Stephan Guyenet, a neurobiologist and author of “The Hungry Brain”, explains the neurological and genetic factors that influence weight gain. Chris van Tulleken, an infectious diseases doctor at University College London and author of the upcoming book “Ultra-Processed People”, explores how the modern diet is contributing to the obesity epidemic–and other health problems.

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/issue-two-of-asterisk …the new-ish rationalist / effective altruist magazine, is up here. It's the food issue. I'm not in this one - my unsuitability to have food-related opinions is second only to @eigenrobot's - but some of my friends are. Articles include: The Virtue Of Wonder: Ozy (my ex, blogs at Thing of Things) reviews Martha Nussbaum's Justice For Animals. Beyond Staple Grains: In the ultimate “what if good things are bad?” article, economist Prabhu Pingali explains the downsides of the Green Revolution and how scientists and policymakers are trying to mitigate them. What I Won't Eat, by my good friend Georgia Ray (of Eukaryote Writes). I have dinner with Georgia whenever I'm in DC; it's a less painful experience than this article probably suggests. The Health Debates Over Plant-Based Meat, by Jake Eaton (is this nominative determinism?) There's no ironclad evidence yet that plant-based meat is any better or worse for you than animals, although I take the pro-vegetarian evidence from the Adventist studies a little more seriously than Jake does (see also section 4 here). There's a prediction market about the question below the article, but it's not very well-traded yet. America Doesn't Know Tofu, by George Stiffman. This reads like an excerpt from a cultivation novel, except every instance of “martial arts” has been CTRL-F'd and replaced with “tofu”. Read This, Not That, by Stephan Guyenet. I'm a big fan of Stephan's scientific work (including his book The Hungry Brain), and although I'm allergic to anything framed as “fight misinformation”, I will grudgingly agree that perhaps we should not all eat poison and die. Is Cultivated Meat For Real?, by Robert Yaman. I'd heard claims that cultivated (eg vat-grown, animal-cruelty-free) meat will be in stores later this year, and also claims that it's economically impossible. Which are true? This article says that we're very far away from cultivated meat that can compete with normal meat on price. But probably you can mix a little cultivated meat with Impossible or Beyond Meat and get something less expensive than the former and tastier than the latter, and applications like these might be enough to support cultivated meat companies until they can solve their technical obstacles. Plus superforecaster Juan Cambeiro on predicting pandemics, Mike Hinge on feeding the world through nuclear/volcanic winter.

Our society's dominant narrative is that body size is a product of individual willpower. We are skinny or fat because of the choices we make: the kinds of food we buy, the amounts we eat, the exercise regimens we follow.Research has never been kind to this thesis. It's a folk narrative we use to punish people, not an empirical account of why residents of most rich countries are getting heavier over time. But, then, what account does fit the data?In his 2017 book, “The Hungry Brain,” Stephan Guyenet, a neurobiologist, argues that weight gain is less about willpower than it is the product of an evolutionary mismatch between our brains, our genetics and our environments. Now a new class of weight loss drugs is raising the possibility that we can change our brains to fit this new environment.Paired with diet and exercise, Ozempic and Wegovy caused anywhere from about a 15 percent to 18 percent loss of body weight over the course of just over a year in people classified as obese or overweight. And they do this in a way that aligns exactly with Guyenet's research: They don't make our bodies burn more calories, they make our brains crave less food.So I asked Guyenet on the show to talk me through his model of weight gain, the research on these new drugs and the strange implications of living with old brains in a new world.Mentioned:“Relationship between food habituation and reinforcing efficacy of food” by Katelyn A.

No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease– yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Stephan is a neuroscientist who, in this episode, will go into the topic of obesity. Stephan provides insights into obesity that are not normally spoken about. He talks in depth about the role of genetics, the brain, and hormones such as leptin that play in the regulation of fat mass. He dives deep into the factors that affect body weight, controlling appetite and controlling food intake and provides takeaways for people wanting to take advantage of what we know about the brain's role in regulating our body weight.This episode is for anybody wanting to understand the neuroscience of obesity. Why obesity is prevelant in our society and what role the brain plays in obesity. What impacts cravings and appetiteWhat is fatHow obesity has changed over the last 50 years Public health and obesity The brain's role in obesity Obesity as a genetic disorder?  Sponsors:KETONE-IQ- 20% DISCOUNT - NEURO20https://hvmn.me/NeuroMOMENTOUS SUPPLEMENTS - 15% DISCOUNT - NEUROhttps://www.livemomentous.com/neuroFind Stephan here:www.stephanguyenet.com/twitter.com/sguyenetYou can follow me or contact me here ---Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ewI5P0Instagram: louisanicola_Twitter : louisanicola_YouTube: Louisa NicolaThe information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.

This week, I sit down with Dr. Stephan J. Guyenet, a neuroscientist, thinker and educator.  After earning a BS in biochemistry at the University of Virginia, he completed a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Washington, then went on to study the neuroscience of obesity and eating behavior as a postdoctoral fellow.  He has over 12 years of history in the neuroscience research world studying neurodegenerative disease and the neuroscience of body fatness.  His mission is to advance science and public health as a researcher, science consultant, and science communicator.  Publishing a book, The Hungry Brain, in 2017, he laid out the framework for understanding how our brains work with food. It was named one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly and called “essential” by the New York Times Book Review. Finally, he is the founder and director of Red Pen Reviews, which publishes the most informative, consistent, and unbiased popular health and nutrition book reviews available. This hour long conversation is very stimulating as we dive headlong into the upstream targets of food choice and body outcome. Enjoy, Dr. M

"I'd do anything to be healthy, except eat right and exercise." We laugh when the comedian shares this insight from the stage, but then cringe when we realize the truth of that in our own lives and the lives of those around us. What is going on? Intriguingly, our brains are finely tuned based on a world that for most – no longer exists. Extremely palatable foods combining sugar, salt, fat and the like didn't exist until recently in human history. As such, instincts designed to prevent starvation have carried us into a lifetime of obesity, diabetes and more. So what can we do?Welcome to the Health, Wellness & Performance Catalyst. Today's guest is neuroscientist and best-selling author of The Hungry Brain, Dr. Stephan Guyenet. He has a bachelors degree in biochemistry, a PhD in neuroscience and completed a post-doctoral fellowship on the neuroscience of obesity and eating behavior. His research publications in scientific journals have been cited more than 2,100 times. He doesn't simply identify the science behind why we do what we do. Instead, he provides key insights on how we – or our friends, coaching clients and others - can effectively change course and thus change our lives for the better.

The Better Show brings Stephan Guyenet to the show this week to talk his new book The Hungry Brain. Stephan has a BS in Biochemistry and a PHD in Neuroscience, with over 12 years in the neuroscience research field. The founder of Red Pen Reviews, an unbiased, non-profit, evidence-based review company that scores popular health and nutrition books available for the public based on their sources. We begin chatting about the evolution of diets and the level of obesity in society, as well as the changes that have driven the BMI increase over the past century. We venture into the science side of the episode to talk about Lipostats, the Hypothalamus and the brain stem. We discuss the behavioural side of obesity, and the reward circuits related to highly palatable food and consumption. We explore the solutions available to lose weight, and what are the best options for differing levels of obesity. We finish off the episode by talking about debunking sources and misinformation around nutrition and health. Are you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This is an “ask me anything” (AMA) episode, which means a world-class expert and past podcast guest comes on the podcast to answer questions submitted by you, our podcast listeners. Stephan Guyenet spent 12 years in academia studying neurodegenerative disease and obesity neuroscience. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Univeristy of Washington, studying the neuroscience of obesity and eating behavior. Previous to that he completed a PhD in neuroscience. Stephan is the author of the popular and well-received book ‘The Hungry Brain‘, which lays out the science behind the brain's role in obesity.

Questions Answered In Full Episode “When someone undergoes liposuction or other surgery that removes adipose tissue, is there a sudden reduction in leptin levels? While this may reduce leptin resistance, could the drop in leptin lead to increased hunger over time?” “What is the current research around how chronic energy restriction (or following crash diets) affects appetite hormones and/ or appetite regulation long term? Is there a physiological mechanism influencing overeating attributable to appetite dysregulation caused by chronic dieting? I ask as this is something I am often tackling in my nutrition consultancy but research in biochemical and physiological mechanisms seems lacking.” “Can you talk about the conditions of anorexia and morbid obesity and how they essentially defy the rules of metabolic compensation? In other words- I understand anorexia to be a mental health condition where the individual starves themselves with a purpose to control weight. And morbid obesity being excessive consumption despite over fatness, etc. If the body has these numerous mechanisms by which calorie restriction or calorie over- consumption results in these compensatory processes-driving us to eat more/less slow us down/speed us up, and many more; do these individuals not “hear” these signals or are they just adept at ignoring them or is it that their bodies have lost the ability to compensate for their under or over consumption? Additionally, can anyone become anorexic or morbidly obese? Or is it merely genetics?” “Why do some SDRIs (serotonin–dopamine reuptake inhibitors) and serotonin precursors reduce hunger/appetite? E.g. 5-HTP and Wellbutrin (Bupropion)” “Question about the ideal weight program: As an iOS developer, my instinct is to assume determinism and quantifiability of the entire universe. I believe this to be fundamentally true. But what is hypothetically possible differs from what we can realistically know. I worry that attempts like yours to quantify some seemingly qualitative measures are doomed. I have similar concerns about happiness research. How do you reassure yourself you can really construct an algorithm that deciphers the “ideal weight program” for any given user – do you rely on averages?” a. Quick explanation of the ideal weight program “In 2018 a poster was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience titled ‘The human brain microbiome; there are bacteria in our brains!' which showed bacteria apparently penetrating and inhabiting the cells of healthy human brains. While the work was preliminary, have you heard of any further work in this area? What is your opinion on the possibility that, if bacteria do inhabit the brain, they could play a part in appetite regulation and/or obesity similar to how the gut microbiome can affect our health?” “It seems like there are significant differences in policies put forth between researchers from biomedical backgrounds and ones from public health policy backgrounds. Dr [David] Allison touched on this during recent interviews, noting that there is very little evidence regarding the efficacy of upstream obesity prevention interventions, such community gardens, combatting food deserts, nutrition education, and cooking classes. On the other hand, governments are increasingly turning to such interventions, as well as policies such as front of pack labelling (Canada, 2022), nutrition facts tables, calorie labelling on menus, as well as the aforementioned ones. Given your research on determinants of health and obesity, what are some of the most promising interventions to prevent NCD morbidity, as well as stones unturned in public health policy? Would you agree with individuals such as Dr Allison that in our current environment, the only efficacious interventions are drugs and bariatric surgery?” Question based on your debate on JRE with Gary Taubes: “Would the insulinogenic effect of protein, specifically something like whey protein which causes an insulin response, be something that should automatically refute Taubes arguments about insulins inherent role in increasing adiposity? Second, would overeating on any macronutrient increase insulin simply because you are eating more food (i.e. hypercaloric)?” “Are there best practices for the maximum duration someone should spend in fat loss (or weight gain) phases? Or perhaps an optimal ratio of fat loss phase duration to “maintenance” phase duration? For example, should fat loss phases be for a maximum of 12 weeks followed by maintenance of at least equal duration before resuming a fat loss phase? “I'm a naturally skinny guy who helps other naturally skinny guys bulk up. I think it largely comes down to a blunted pleasure response to food, smaller stomachs, and/or higher NEAT. A lot of us seem to be taller and more thinly built, too. But why do you think things are things so different for us? Why is it so hard to gain weight? And what can we do about it?” To subscribe to Premium (and get the full episode) go here.
