Are 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...)
