 Summary Chef Dr. Mike joins Tom and Matt for a wide-open conversation that jumps from quantum physics to cardiology to culinary wisdom—always coming back to one core idea: food is information. He explains how modern ultra-processed foods disrupt the body’s natural signaling systems, how the gut microbiome is “entangled” with human biology, and why viewing food through the lens of information theory and entropy can transform how we think about health. Dr. Mike also shares the unlikely arc of his journey: a childhood love of cooking, a career in cardiology, brutal medical training, NIH-level research, and ultimately a return to culinary medicine inspired by his own health struggles. The discussion explores industry-driven nutrition myths, the biochemical intelligence behind traditional food pairings, the future role of quantum computing in understanding food, and the idea that true health is resilience, not perfection. This episode mixes science, humor, philosophy, quantum weirdness, and practical wisdom—delivering one of the most thought-provoking conversations around food, medicine, and the human experience. Takeaways Food acts as information, not just calories or nutrients.Ultra-processed foods deliver “garbage data” that confuses the body.The gut microbiome is entangled with human biology.Traditional diets may reflect biochemical wisdom, not coincidence.Medical nutrition guidelines are often industry-influenced or outdated.Dr. Mike’s path went from chef → cardiologist → culinary medicine.Modern medicine pushes doctors into impossible patient volumes.Quantum computing and synthetic data will reshape nutritional science.The more we learn about food, the more we realize we don’t know.Health is resilience, not fragile homeostasis.Moderate alcohol may assist glymphatic brain detox (in some models).Animals have instinctive nutritional intelligence—humans used to.Gut bacteria may influence cravings and taste preferences.Information theory explains why food synergy matters.We underestimate the complexity of food (140,000+ compounds).Overeating ultra-processed foods may be the body seeking “more samples.”Epigenetics and memory suggest the body “knows” more than we think.Experiences like past-life recall, language shifts, and transplant memories raise big questions.Culinary medicine bridges science, culture, intuition, and quantum ideas.
