Episode 3501: Jill Coleman and Jade Teta explain why what you crave is not random, walking through the four brain chemicals behind the pull toward sweets, fat, starch or sheer volume. They then show how nutrition and small behavior changes can shift that chemistry, so cravings become something you can work with rather than fight. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jillfit.com/2011/09/08/science-cravings/ Quotes to ponder: "The differences in what people crave is not coincidence, it is based on chemical messengers and brain neurohormones, or neurotransmitters." "People with low serotonin often crave starchy, salty foods like bread, pasta, chips, and pretzels." "Your brain chemistry profile is not fixed; it is always changing."

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Each year WNYC hosts a "health convening," with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as an opportunity for healthcare experts and practitioners to inform WNYC's health reporting. This year, the topic is ultra-processed foods and how they affect our health.  First, Kevin Hall, Ph.D., former senior investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) , discusses his groundbreaking, tightly controlled metabolic ward trials and mathematical models tracking how human bodies respond to ultra-processed foods. Then, Fang Fang Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., cancer epidemiologist and chair of the Division of Nutrition Epidemiology and Data Science at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, discusses her population‑based research on how ultra-processed foods influence cancer prevention, cancer survivorship and long‑term health outcomes. Then, David Kessler, MD, former FDA Commissioner, breaks down a citizen petition he filed with the Food and Drug Administration last summer which would, among other things, declare that some of the core ingredients in ultra-processed foods were no longer “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” -- a classification  that means ingredients are exempt from strict premarket approval process. Plus, Ilan Stavans, publisher of Restless Books, professor of humanities and Latin American and Latino culture at Amherst College and the author of A Nation Wrestles with God: American Prophets, Philosophers, and Firebrands (Restless Books, 2026), talks about the broad spectrum of American religious thought, from Cotton Mather to Lana Del Rey.   These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: What Are Ultra-Processed Foods and What Are They Doing to Us?

How many grams of protein do you need to be healthy? What about fiber? Supplements? It feels like we're changing our diets daily to adhere to constantly shifting recommendations and none of it is really working to optimize our health. Christopher Gardner, Professor of Medicine in Nutrition Science at Stanford University, and featured advisor on the Netflix show, “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment”, joins us today to talk about how the industry is stacked against us and why the solution to our diet woes is as simple as beans, peas, and lentils. For more than 30 years Christopher Gardner, PhD, has studied what to consume and to avoid for optimal health, and how best to motivate individuals to achieve healthy dietary behaviors. He recently completed a two-year term serving on the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and is the past chair of the American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee. He has conducted and published dozens of human nutrition intervention trials, including trials of Mediterranean, Ketogenic, Vegan, Low-Fat and Low-Carb diets and their effects on cardiometabolic health. Some of his current interests include Stealth Nutrition, Unapologetic Deliciousness and Institutional Food Settings. He is currently working on personalized nutrition explorations with several colleagues, with particular focus on the gut microbiome.

You get the "more energy" note in improv and nobody tells you what to actually change. I take that note apart and look at what your teacher was probably reacting to.The energy note does a lot of work in one word, so it can mean several different things at once, and most of us never ask for the clarification. In this episode I go through what a coach might be seeing when a scene reads as underpowered, and the mechanical choices available to you at your completely normal speaking volume. I also get into why the thing most of us do when we feel underpowered tends to make it worse, and why the option nobody suggests might be the one that holds a room. Before improv I taught dance fitness, and the presence I learned there had less to do with being loud than you might think.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:What your teacher is probably reacting to when they say "more energy"The four things you can adjust without raising your volume at allWhy adding motion when you feel underpowered often reads as something else entirelyThe choice that can command a stage without you doing anythingHow to finish the energy note yourself instead of paying an improv taxCHAPTERS:0:00 What dance fitness taught me about presence2:35 Taking apart the "more energy" note3:05 Show ident3:50 Why the note is hard to use6:00 Focus, and where your attention goes7:19 Stance and where your weight sits8:27 Tempo and cadence in a scene9:13 How you take up the space10:59 Reading "more" as more intentional12:30 The option beyond movement13:48 Why we add motion when we feel underpowered15:16 Performance you might already be doing all day17:04 Choosing big when you want it18:47 Finishing the note yourselfRESOURCES:Previous episode on pauses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vWZM6qoEM8Off Script workshops: https://YourImprovBrain.com/offscriptDownloadable contentDownload the Free Post-Show Reflection Guide: Sent to your inbox when you subscribe to either newsletter (and added to the footer to each message if you're already subscribed).NEW!

WORKSHOPS! Check out what's coming up for the Off Script Workshops. We're working on stuff brought up in this ep. https://yourimprovbrain.com/offscriptIf you start building your next line while your scene partner is still talking, you might be solving the wrong problem. This episode is about the improv pause, the beat between an offer and your response.Every improv scene has gaps in it, and most of the time nobody notices them because they stay short and disappear into the rhythm of the dialogue. When a pause runs longer, people start reading it, and the reading is usually some version of hesitation. That gets you the standard notes about committing faster or trusting your first instinct, which assume something fairly specific about what was going on inside your head during that silence. I talk about what a pause can actually be, why two completely different internal situations can produce almost identical silences on the outside, and what you can put into a beat so it reads the way you want it to.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Why speeding up your response can cost you the offer you needed mostThe difference between a pause that reads as blanking and one that reads as a choiceWhy the note to just be quicker asks you to fix the one thing that might not be availableWhat to put into a beat so your scene partner stops filling it in for youA couple of options when an offer arrives with more information in it than you can holdCHAPTERS:0:00 Building your line while your partner is still talking1:55 What this episode is about2:17 Improv as a receiving activity first3:05 Beats and gaps, and when people start noticing them4:47 The note you get when a pause reads as a confidence problem6:56 Two very different things that look identical from outside9:10 The third kind of pause10:00 The fix almost everyone arrives at on their own12:20 Processing delays and working memory inside a scene13:43 What a confident performer is actually doing in a beat16:20 Reacting before you respond18:17 Options when the offer has too much in it20:35 Where the phrase "juicy pauses" came fromRESOURCES:Suzi Barrett, improv podcaster, who coined the "juicy pauses" note: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgWKnIrmQ973mnHJtRRNAdAEarlier episodes on blanking and freezing on stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeilTyCoEKE (and check the description for many more!)Earlier episode on silence and pauses as a chosen dramatic tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkIxMS8R30EDownloadable contentDownload the Free Post-Show Reflection Guide: Sent to your inbox when you subscribe to either newsletter (and added to the footer to each message if you're already subscribed).NEW!

How has new research changed the way we see nutritional health? What role do ultra-processed foods, fibre, gut microbes, inflammation and insulin resistance play in the new paradigm? Why does the gut microbiome affect our mental health? How can simply diversifying the quantity of plants in your diet change health outcomes radically?In this episode we have the complex topic of nutrition to get up to date on. There's been so much research over the last 20 years that has contradicted some of our most deep seated preconceptions about food, so today we clarify science's new take. We discuss the rise of lifestyle medicine as a solution to western health crises; individualised diet; ultra processed foods; fibre; glycemic index issues; the gut microbiome; inflammation; a variety of foods over restrictive diets; how to support the use of new GPL-1 weight loss drugs; and what the nutritional organisation Zoe is doing to make this all easier for the public to put into practice.Fortunately our guest is a master at untangling all this nuance in a way that's so easy for us Joe public to understand - medical scientist and clinical nutritionist, senior lecturer and researcher at Imperial College London and King's College London, Dr. Federica Amati. She's also Head Nutritionalist at ZOE and Head of Nutrition Science at WellFounded Health. She's written 12 scientific papers and 3 books, “EveryBODY should know this”, “Recipes for better menopause”, and her brand new book “The Appetite reset”, which we discuss today.What we discuss: 00:00 Intro06:30 Worldwide pandemic of previously western-only diet related chronic diseases.07:00 Western diet, exported to the rest of the world is a big part of the problem.08:45 Sedentary lifestyle is also part of the metabolic dysfunction crisis.09:15 The “Diabesity” crisis.10:15 Dysfunctional food environments.10:55 One size dos NOT fit all for diet.11:45 Influencers are confusing the public.16:25 Personalised diet issues: more required from the patient, more expensive.18:00 Ultra-processed foods damage 1: quick energy uptake.20:30 U.P.F. damage 2: High palatability - more delicious, harder to stop eating.21:45 U.P.F. damage 3: Synthetic additives - unknown consequences & cocktail effect.23:35 Processed food risk scale from Zoe nutrition can help people consider.24:15 %60 of Uk calories are coming from ultra processed food.30:45 Fibre - How much do we eat and should we eat?32:45 Plant diversity: 30 per week, leads to Intestinal microbe diversity.35:15 Mapping the microbiome. 39:05 Microbiome and mental health - Vagus gut-brain axis, 42:55 Inflammation theory of depression - withdraw from society to heal.43:50 Chronic inflammation caused by western diet and stress.46:45 Your habits are more important than exceptions.48:15 Restrictive calorie-counting diets aren't sustainable for losing weight because of metabolic adaptation.52:05 “The Appetite Reset” book - GLP1 weight loss drugs.56:45 Adult obesity has doubled, adolescent obesity has quadrupled.References:Federica Amati, “The Appetite reset”.Federica Amati, “EveryBODY should know this”.Francesco Asnicar et al.,'Gut micro-organisms associated with health, nutrition and dietary interventions' paper. Zoe Nutrition - microbiome testing, glycemic monitoring, and personalised diet guidance.The microbiome, mental health & rethinking hygiene - Dr. Graham Rook episodeMood Food: The gut, diet and inflammation - Alex Laird episodeNot all U.P.F's are equal - Zoe Nutrition article

You're in a scene, it's your turn, and your brain goes somewhere else. Going blank on stage, hitting that freeze, is near the top of most improvisers' fear lists, and I want to add something new to the pile of advice about it. I have new things to say about this thing, possibly even something that's a fix. Basically, you need to sort out your default move.Most advice about the improv freeze(tm) tells you to say or do the next thing, anything at all, and that does work a lot of the time. It can also be the exact thing that froze you in the first place, yuck, especially if you're a neurodivergent improviser with a long history of being told you read the moment wrong or missed the subtext or that unsaid thing that we were supposed to guess or assume. Yuck.In this episode I offer one more way to think about why the freeze happens, and one specific thing you can sort out ahead of time so you're not making a decision while you're already flooded. I also get into why the pause you're sitting in might be more useful than you think. Ooo foreshadowing and clickbait!What you'll learn:Why that blank feeling might be the opposite of blankThe link between a fear of being wrong and a full-body shutdown-y stall-out on stageWhy "just say anything" can backfire for some improvisers and isn't useful on its own without some more info, data, or nuanceThe three modes most improvisers default to, and how to find yours!

GLP-1 receptor agonists have become some of the most talked-about medications in recent years. You may have heard names such as liraglutide, semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). These treatments have attracted attention because they can significantly reduce appetite and support weight loss while also helping to manage blood glucose levels. The breakthrough came when researchers developed long-acting versions of hormones naturally released by the body after eating, including GLP-1 and, in some cases, GIP. These hormones help regulate hunger and promote feelings of fullness. While the body's natural response lasts only a short time, modern medications extend these effects for up to a week with a single injection. Since results from major clinical trials emerged in the early 2020s, GLP-1 therapies have transformed obesity treatment, delivering weight-loss outcomes that surpass those achieved by previous medications and offering new hope for people struggling with weight management. - Laureate Professor Clare Collins, internationally distinguished leader in nutrition and dietetics, University of NewcastleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With so many conflicting and contradictory nutrition claims dominating headlines and social media, deciding what to eat has become unnecessarily complicated. Stanford nutrition scientist Christopher Gardner, Ph.D., has spent more than three decades conducting evidence-based research to bring clarity to the conversation. In this program, Gardner shares what decades of human nutrition trials reveal about where true scientific consensus exists, and where it does not. From his landmark “A to Z” and “DIETFITS” studies to ongoing research on plant-rich alternatives, ketogenic diets, the gut microbiome, and inflammation, Gardner has worked to move the field beyond diet myths and toward practical, evidence-based guidance. At the center of his message is a powerful idea: healthy eating can be “unapologetically delicious,” built around whole, minimally processed, plant-rich foods aligned with personal values around culture, sustainability and social responsibility. He will address pressing questions about different diets, cholesterol, seed oils, ultra-processed foods, protein, plant-based meats, fiber, fermented foods and more, offering a framework that helps individuals make informed, flexible, and lasting food choices. This conversation invites us to reconsider not only what we eat, but how we think about food: as nourishment, pleasure, culture and a powerful tool for long-term personal and planetary health. About the Speakers Christopher Gardner, Ph.D., is a professor of medicine at Stanford Prevention Research Center who has led more than 20 years of NIH-funded, randomized controlled trials on nutrition. His work focuses on diet patterns, weight loss and cardiometabolic health. A Nutrition, Food & Wellness Member-led Forum program.

Can your genes influence what you eat, how your gut works, and even why coriander tastes like soap to some people? This week on Well, food and nutrition scientist Dr Emma Beckett cuts through the noise around gut health and explains what the science actually says. From probiotics and Greek yoghurt to taste receptors hidden throughout your gut, we unpack the surprising ways genetics shape our relationship with food. Dr Beckett reveals why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice doesn't work, what the microbiome can (and can't) tell us about health, and why the wellness industry's obsession with gut hacks may be missing the point. Plus, Dr Mariam answers a listener's question about constipation, ageing and menopause, and explains why some gut symptoms deserve a closer look.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Food Allergy Prevention, a groundbreaking new study from the Salk Institute that could change everything we thought we knew about food allergies. What if having no allergic reaction is not just luck but an active, complex process happening inside your body? New findings point to specific immune cells in the gut that may hold the key to why some people can eat anything without a reaction while others cannot. Could something as simple as what you feed a child early in life shift the odds in their favor? Jenn breaks down the science, the caveats, and what this might actually mean for families navigating the very real challenges of food allergies. Is a future without food allergies possible?

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if your sugar cravings have nothing to do with willpower, and everything to do with what your brain has been quietly taught to need?Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Matty Lansdown, scientist, nutritionist, and emotional eating specialist, to explore why so many people feel completely out of control around sugar.Matty has spent nearly a decade working with people who've tried every diet, every rule, every "fresh start Monday," and still can't seem to break free. If you've ever felt like you "know better" but still can't stop, this episode is for you.What he's found goes much deeper than food.

To state the obvious nutrition is considered the cornerstone of public health, a, if not the, primary preventative measure against chronic disease. Nevertheless, the OBBBA cut SNAP funding by an estimated $187 billion; since the start of the pandemic food prices have increased by roughly 30%; and, going forward are at risk due to uncertain trade policy, global shocks including the ongoing war in Iran, water supply/access and widespread drought and other climate-related issues include the looming super El Nino event that is expected to disrupt planting cycles worldwide and breach thermal safety margins - causing most major crops to suffer further yield declines.

With so much conflicting information around nutrition today, how do you know what actually works? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Maaike Kruseman, PhD, Registered Dietitian and Founder of MK-Nutrition, to cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. We break down the overload of claims in nutrition and health, and how to separate evidence-based strategies from trends that don't deliver real results. We explore key topics including sports nutrition, the unique considerations in women's health, and the role of supplementation—when it's helpful and when it's not. This conversation is all about simplifying nutrition, making it practical, and understanding how to apply it in a way that supports your health, performance, and long-term well-being. If you're tired of confusion and ready for clarity, this episode will give you tools you can actually use. Key takeaways: Protein Consumption: Essential but often overemphasized and misunderstood, with a need for balance in dosage and timing. Carbohydrates Friends Not Foes: Carbs are vital for athletes and general health, with overhype on sugar's negative impact often missing the nuanced truth. Women's Nutrition: Science on female-specific needs is growing but outpaced by marketing; tailored strategies addressing real-life challenges are crucial. Metabolic Flexibility: A crucial determinant of how effectively one can manage multiple energy sources, hindered by excessive and improper consumption. Simplicity and Customization: Individualized advice based on personal rhythms and simple guidelines often yields more sustainable results than rigid or trendy diets.   More About Dr. Maaike Kruseman: Maaike Kruseman, PhD is a Registered Dietitian based in Switzerland with a background in life sciences. After a career in academia—focusing on sports nutrition, weight loss maintenance, and public health—she founded MK-Nutrition, a private practice in Geneva specializing in nutrition and dietetics. Her work centers on sports nutrition and weight management, supporting both athletes and patients referred by physicians. In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Kruseman is actively involved in education, delivering lectures, and teaching in various academic settings.   Website Instagram Connect with me!

I'm thrilled to connect with Dr. Natalie Crawford today. She's a double-board-certified fertility doctor and the author of The Fertility Formula. Unlike most other physicians, she blends lifestyle and functional medicine with science-based facts, aiming to help women conceive and understand their bodies. While this conversation may not feel fully aligned with the perimenopause and menopause transition, I encourage you to listen with an open mind to what Natalie shares about hormones. In our discussion, we explore fertility as a vital sign, the impact of infertility, and why one in six women experiences infertility. We break down ovarian reserve and the realities of aging. We also cover specific labs that can help assess ovarian reserve and overall health. We explain DOR and POI, the overlap between fertility and perimenopause, and why the ovaries can behave like a “cranky toddler” in perimenopause. Finally, we dive into the role of the gut microbiome in estrogen metabolism and inflammation, and discuss IVF, egg freezing, modern reproductive options, lifestyle influences, and a series of rapid-fire questions. Dr. Crawford's book, The Fertility Formula, is a must-read for women of all ages. It contains many valuable insights, and I love the way she blends an integrative approach with an allopathic approach for her patients. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How fertility serves as a health marker that reflects a woman's hormonal, cellular, and metabolic health The role of inflammation in infertility Dr. Crawford clarifies ovarian reserve, highlighting the importance of understanding egg quality and quantity. Why AMH testing is the most informative first step for women concerned about their fertility Dr. Crawford outlines three factors that can cause missed or irregular periods. The importance of tracking ovulation and understanding the body's signals during perimenopause Inflammation and aging can disrupt chromosome alignment and impair embryo development. How poor estrogen clearance and gut microbiome imbalances disrupt brain-ovary signaling and ovulation timing The link between sleep deprivation and low sperm counts, and how stress and lack of muscle mass can drive insulin resistance and inflammation Why sleep, muscle mass, and stress reduction are all essential for fertility It's essential to approach fertility proactively, and to know how to do that.

Today, Razib talks to Chris Masterjohn, a nutritional scientist and leading expert in mitochondrial biology who believes hidden energy bottlenecks underlie much of modern disease. After years of work as a professor and researcher, he founded Mitome, the first mitochondrial analysis designed for everyday health, and serves as its Scientific Director. His mission is to make mitochondrial testing accessible so people can identify and correct the specific energy limitations holding them back. After earning his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut in 2012, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and subsequently served as an Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences at Brooklyn College. He has a Substack. Razib and Masterjohn first discuss the impact of social media on the communication of science, and his wrangling with the public health establishment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Masterjohn explains how digging into the primary literature showed that the authorities were claiming far greater certainty than they should have, and recounts attempts to censor and rebuke him when he pointed this out. He also addresses some misrepresentations that Anthony Fauci engaged in during his tenure. Next, Razib asks Masterjohn about the insights he has gained from nutritional science in terms of how he lives his own life, and his overall philosophy of public health. Masterjohn pushes against the tendency to over-medicalize and rely on pharmaceuticals before looking to common-sense nutrition and exercise. They then discuss the importance of the mitochondrion in molecular genetics, and how that is relevant both in terms of physiology and evolution. Masterjohn then talks about his company, Mitome, and the added value of greater and greater metabolic and genetic information in the present age.

Join us for the discussion on the treatment and management of hyperphosphatemia or high phosphorus levels in the blood, a common challenge experienced by people living with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. This episode is supported by Ardelyx.   In this episode we heard from:  Dr. Annabel Biruete is an Assistant Professor and Registered Dietitian in the Department of Nutrition Science at Purdue University and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Division of Nephrology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Her broad clinical interest is nutrition in kidney diseases. Dr. Biruete's research aims to study the effects of nutritional and pharmacological therapies for chronic kidney disease on the gastrointestinal tract and gut microbiome. Additionally, Dr. Biruete is interested in improving outcomes in the Hispanic/LatinX community living with chronic kidney disease, primarily targeting nutritional interventions using language- and culturally-concordant lifestyle educational materials. Melissa Tuff has been living with chronic kidney disease for 30 years. Her journey began in 1996 on her 17th birthday when she “crashed” into dialysis following a misdiagnosed UTI. She was on in-center hemodialysis for 9 and a half years until she received a life-changing kidney transplant that lasted 11 years. In 2016 her kidney rejected and since then, she continued treatment with 4 years of peritoneal dialysis and 6 years of solo home hemodialysis. She utilizes her Social Media pages for digital education & patient empowerment by hosting educational TikTok Live sessions while performing solo home hemodialysis; offering real-time insight into dialysis life and empowering others to take an active role in their treatment. Her goal is to build a support community and reduce the stigma around kidney disease by fostering open, educational, and uplifting conversations online while providing resources and guidance as to how one can live long and well on dialysis. Dr. Jaime Uribarri is a practicing nephrologist and clinical investigator in NYC. He has been in the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYC, since 1990, where he is currently Professor of Medicine and Director of the Renal Clinic and the Home Dialysis Program at the Mount Sinai Hospital. In parallel with his clinical activities, Dr Uribarri has been very active in clinical investigation for more than 40 years. His main areas of research have been on acid-base and fluid and electrolytes disorders as well as nutrition in chronic kidney disease and diabetic patients. He has published well over 200 peer-reviewed papers, written many chapters in books and edited several books. He has lectured extensively on these research topics in New York City as well as in national and international meetings.   Additional Resources High Phosphorus Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) ASN Kidney Health Guidance on Potassium and Phosphorus Food Additives   Do you have comments, questions, or suggestions?

Weight-loss drugs that target the hormone GLP-1 have rapidly reshaped the conversation around obesity, appetite and personal responsibility. But alongside the rise of powerful synthetic injectables, researchers are also exploring whether the body's own appetite signals can be harnessed more naturally. At the heart of the debate is a simple question: are we eating too much because of weak willpower, or because of biology? As new approaches emerge, the challenge is to balance effectiveness, safety and long-term sustainability in tackling one of modern health's most persistent problems.In this interview, Sarah Kennedy, founder of Calocurb, a New Zealand company which has developed a plant-based compound designed to naturally stimulate GLP-1, discusses the science of appetite control and how it compares to injectable drugs. ---------------Try Calocurb for yourself?Get a 10% discount HERE---------------This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.
