In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss both healthy eating and clinically recognized eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. I explain how brain circuits, hormones such as leptin and reward systems interact to regulate appetite, satiety and overall eating behaviors. I also discuss the serious health risks associated with anorexia, explain how disrupted eating habits contribute to its development and highlight evidence-based treatments for anorexia. Finally, I explore binge eating and bulimia, discussing the underlying causes and the pharmacological treatments commonly used to support recovery. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Top Ten from 2024: #4 Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn   *DISCLAIMER* This episode is intended for adults.   **Transcription of original episode**  224. Surprising Discoveries of Sex in Marriage: An Interview with Shaunti Feldhahn   Deuteronomy 29:29a (NKJV) "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us"   Questions and Topics We Cover: Are there any specific questions you recommend we ask our spouse periodically? Will you elaborate on your finding that "men and women tend to have different insecurities that the process of sex can help heal or hurt"? You write "Having a comfortable way to signal (and receive) openness or interest will create connection and prevent much pain." So, how can couples begin to develop their own private language or signals to communicate effectively in a healthy manner?   Thank You to Our Sponsor: The Sue Neihouser Team   Shaunti Feldhahn received her graduate degree from Harvard University and was an analyst on Wall Street before unexpectedly becoming a social researcher, best-selling author, and popular speaker.   Today, Shaunti applies her analytical skills to investigate eye-opening, life-changing truths about relationships, both at home and in the workplace. Her groundbreaking research-based books, such as For Women Only, The Kindness Challenge, and Thriving in Love & Money, have sold more than 3 million copies in 25 languages. Her books and studies are popular in homes, counseling centers, and corporations worldwide.   Shaunti (often with her husband, Jeff) has spoken around the world, sharing her findings with audiences ranging from churches to women's and marriage conferences to arena events to youth camps and cruises (yes, those are particularly painful…). Her research and commentary are regularly featured in media as diverse as The Today Show, Focus on the Family, The New York Times and MomLife Today. Shaunti, Jeff, and their two children live in Atlanta and enjoy every minute of living life at warp speed.   Secrets of Sex and Marriage Website   Previous Episodes on Sexual Intimacy on The Savvy Sauce: Fostering a Fun, Healthy Sex Life with your Spouse with Dr. Jennifer Konzen Ways to Deepen Your Intimacy in Marriage with Dr. Douglas Rosenau Ten Common Questions About Sex, Shared Through a Biblical Worldview with Dr. Michael Sytsma Easy Changes to Enhance Your Sexual Intimacy in Marriage with Dr. Clifford and Joyce Penner Hope For Treating Pelvic Pain with Tracey LeGrand Treatment for Sexual Issues with Certified Sex Therapist, Emma Schmidt Talking With Your Kids About Sex with Brian and Alison Sutter Natural Aphrodisiacs with Christian Certified Sex Therapist, Dr. Douglas Rosenau Healthy Sexuality, Emotional Intelligence, and Parenting Children with Autism with Counselor, Lauren Dack Pain and Joy in Sexual Intimacy with Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, Dr. Jessica McCleese Identifying and Fighting Human Trafficking with Dr. Jeff Waibel Bridging the Gap Between Military and Civilian Families with Licensed Professional Counselor, Cuthor, Podcaster, and 2015 Military Spouse of the Year, Corie Weathers Enjoying a God-Honoring, Healthy Sex Life with Your Spouse with Certified Sex Therapist and Ordained Minister, Dr. Michael Sytsma Enjoying Parenting and Managing Conversations About Sex with Certified Sex Therapist and Author, Dr. Jennifer Konzen 63 Maximizing Sexual Intimacy During the Three Most Challenging Phases of Marriage with Christian Sex Therapist Pioneers, Dr. Clifford and Joyce Penner Conflict Resolution, Infidelity, and Infertility with Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, Dr. Jessica McCleese Hormones and Body Image with Certified Sex Therapist, Vickie George Passion Pursuit with Dr. Juli Slattery Female Orgasm with Sue Goldstein Erectile Dysfunction, Premature Ejaculation, and Treatments Available with Dr. Irwin Goldstein Turn Ons, Turn Offs, and Savoring Sex in Marriage with Dr. Jennifer Konzen Desire Discrepancy in Marriage with Dr. Michael Sytsma Answering Listener's Questions About Sex with Kelli Willard Anatomy of an Affair with Dave Carder Supernatural Restoration Story with Bob and Audrey Meisner Healthy Minds, Marriages, and Sex Lives with Drs.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Over the last 10 years, there's been an exponential growth in the number of children diagnosed with gender dysphoria.“Gender affirming care” prescribes puberty blockers to keep children from developing naturally. Doctors often claim puberty blockers merely “pause” physical development—suggesting children can “un-pause” the process and resume puberty at will.Nothing could be further from the truth.Psychiatric nurse, Dave Wayne, joins us to continue our series about commonly prescribed medications which may have detrimental side effects.We discuss the realities of puberty blockers, including:• the fact they're used to chemically castrate sex offenders in Europe• the irreversible physical damage they cause• the resulting cognitive impairmentThe research is clear—puberty blockers cause irreparable harm to children's emotional, physical, and cognitive development.It's high time we adults start protecting children, as opposed to “affirming” their delusions.Citationshttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.14.25327614v1https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/17/johanna-olson-kennedy-doctor-won-release-transgend/Sponsor:The Wellness CompanyWebsite: ⁠https://www.twc.health/lovelife⁠Code: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!David WayneWebsite: ⁠https://www.describe.health⁠Instagram: @david.wayne.rnDr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

There's knowing your body parts and then there's body literacy. It turns out, both are key to health and safety. If knowing your body parts is like having a map, being body literate is like being able to read a compass. We're joined by Konika Ray Wong, a health educator and author of body books for kids down to age 4. She covers concepts like interoception and attunement  (yes, big words!), central concepts for people who want to understand their body's cues.  Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

What if midlife wasn't a breakdown—but a breakthrough? In this episode, we explore the concept of second puberty, the real biological and neurological transformation that happens in your 40s and 50s. Far beyond hot flashes and hormone drops, this transition is a complete body-brain recalibration.We cover:​The brain science behind hormone shifts and why it affects your mood, memory, and energy​How your stress and metabolism systems are adapting—and how to support them​The real reason your workouts and eating patterns may not be working anymore​Six practical, science-backed strategies to support your body and mind during this evolutionIf you've been wondering why you feel so different lately—and what to do about it—this episode will give you the clarity and tools to move forward with power.

Story at-a-glance Gender dysphoria diagnoses among youth have tripled since 2017, with many adolescents now fast-tracked into medical treatments based on self-identification rather than long-term psychological evaluation The HHS 2025 review found most gender-affirming care research weak. There is no strong evidence that puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones improve mental health or reduce suicide risk Puberty blockers disrupt natural development, leading to weakened bones, impaired height, reduced fertility, and possible cognitive and emotional effects during a vital window of brain maturation Cross-sex hormones cause irreversible changes, including cardiovascular strain, reproductive organ damage, sexual dysfunction, and hormonal imbalances far beyond normal ranges, especially when used in adolescence Parents can protect their children from this agenda by affirming biological reality early, asking hard questions about the treatments involved in gender-affirming care, and demanding transparency from health care providers

Puberty, sexual consent, sexuality and gender are some of the topics making Rachel blush in her conversation with Michael Fullerton in another must-listen episode of The Skies We're Under Podcast.

The fine line between informing and oversharing is tricky to navigate, especially when it comes to topics like puberty, sex, and drugs. On the one hand, kids need information; on the other, we must take into account things like personality, communication style, and desire for privacy, not to mention set boundaries according to their developmental stage. So when does sharing information cross over into too much information? This episode has the answer and so much more. Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Get your Alloy prescription today.

„Dívky, které si chtějí změnit pohlaví, říkají, že ani tak nechtějí být muži, ale hlavně nechtějí být ženami, protože nechtějí nést osud svých matek a babiček. A já bych položil otázku nikoli, proč dochází k nárůstu lidí, kteří se cítí být opačným pohlavím, ale řekl bych: Proč dochází k tomu, že mladé dívky nechtějí být ženami?" říká sociolog Petr Hlávka v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 3. díl, 20.06.2025, www.RadioUniversum.cz

You can't outgrow puberty—but maybe we can outlearn how we teach it. This week, Jer and Tay explore a topic often overlooked: puberty education for youth with disabilities. Social worker and doctoral student Jennalyn Suda breaks down how trauma-informed frameworks can radically reshape how we approach this formative stage, especially for students who face additional barriers. From the sensory challenges of menstruation to the cultural and cognitive complexities that shape understanding, Jennalyn sheds light on the gaps in traditional education. The boys dive into awkward memories, laugh about the lessons they never learned, and highlight how shifting the conversation from shame to empowerment might just be the change we need.Follow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Being a steady, calm parent to tweens and teens seems like an impossibility. But there's decades of research and data supporting this style – not only is it achievable, it has lifelong positive impacts. Enter “lighthouse parenting” from Ken Ginsburg, a framing based on his deep experience as an adolescent medicine doctor and rooted in his optimism that raising teens is an opportunity not a burden.

This is a Fan Fav episode. Dr. Lisa Mosconi joins me on Women of Impact to completely reframe how we think about the female brain—and debunk the damaging myth that “bikini medicine” (the idea that women are just men with breasts and ovaries) should guide our health and treatment. We dig into why women are almost twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's, the striking gaps in research and medical care, and the massive ways that hormones, lifestyle, and stress impact women's cognitive health, starting from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Mosconi unpacks the science behind everything from sleep and exercise to diet, stress, and pregnancy's overlooked impact on brain plasticity. With practical advice, radical truths, and real hope, this episode is the playbook for every woman who wants to understand—and fiercely protect—her own mind. SHOWNOTES Why women are nearly twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's—and why no one's talking about it 00:01:04 – The myth of “bikini medicine” and the failure to study women's brains How Ambien became a dangerous example of ignoring female biology in medical research 00:07:11 – XX brain basics: Why women's brains don't age—or respond—like men's The unique risks women face: anxiety, depression, migraines, stroke, and autoimmune disorders Puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause: How women's brains transform across a lifetime The impact of diet, exercise, caffeine, and hormones on the female brain (and what to do) Why exercise lowers dementia risk by 30% for active women after 35 How stress sabotages women's brains more than men's—and real strategies to fight back CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Vital Proteins: Get 20% off by going to https://www.vitalproteins.com and entering promo code WOI at check out.  BIOptimizers: Head to https://bioptimizers.com/impact and use code IMPACT for 10% off.  OneSkin: Get 15% off with code LISA at https://oneskin.co  Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/lisa FOLLOW DR.

The recently published Make America Health Again (MAHA) Report has made a big splash, putting the wellness of American children center stage.

Many of us are in the sandwich generation, caring for kids while also caring for aging parents. Caregiving is hard work: it's physically exhausting when kids are little, and increasingly emotionally exhausting as they get older…meanwhile, elder care can be an intense combination of the two. What if we could reframe caring for others from burdensome slog to hero's journey? In When We Care, Elissa Strauss leans into research to advocate for a new view of care – one defined by the opportunity to gain wisdom, meaning, and connection.

In a house with kids of different ages, it can be challenging to sort through what's appropriate to discuss with whom. Keeping information siloed can create a culture of secrecy within the family unit, but introducing topics before a given kid is developmentally ready can cause its own harms. Then there's the very predictable (and yes, awkward) scenario of younger kids educating their close friends or fellow passengers on the school bus by sharing overly sophisticated content. Gotta love that phone call from another parent! We dive into all the permutations of what information should be discussed with all kids under one roof and what information is best saved for family “breakout rooms.” Show Notes: Join our LESS AWKWARD ESSENTIALS Head to http://lumen.me/AWKWARD for 10% off your purchase.

Middle childhood (between toddlerhood and the teenage years) often gets overlooked. But for kids ages 6-12, the pressures of adolescence are arriving earlier. Puberty is happening earlier, social media has led to emotional turbulence, and kids today are facing different challenges than the previous generation. Clinical psychological Dr. Sheryl Gonzalez Ziegler talks about her new book The Crucial Years: The Essential Guide to Mental Health and Modern Puberty in Middle Childhood (ages 6-12) and takes listeners' calls.

We can always count on science journalist Melinda Wenner Moyer to delve into the latest research and distill it down to nuggets of wisdom. Chock full of data and analysis, Melinda's writing ultimately helps us help our kids. Her newest book, Hello, Cruel World!, chronicles how to build coping skills, find connection with others, and cultivate meaningful lives – all of which allows our kids (and ourselves) to stand strong in a turbulent world.

Old Chile takes us on a two-wheeled journey straight into the heart of boyhood curiosity, forbidden staircases, and one unforgettable delivery run. It’s 1956 in Goose Creek, Texas, and when Chile and his buddy “Hairs” get tasked with bringing mystery bags to the infamous Roxie’s, they think they’ve hit the adventure jackpot. What they find upstairs? Red lamps, sheer tops, and life lessons they definitely weren’t ready for. Puberty never stood a chance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
