Cravings aren’t just about weak will; they’re biology doing exactly what billions of food dollars engineered them to do. We sit down with Sander Brus to unpack how sweetness hijacks reward circuits, why kids are showing up with adult metabolic diseases, and what happens when you flip the switch on sweet taste itself. Sander takes us from his diagnostics background into the heart of metabolic health, explaining how sweet taste receptors (T1R2/T1R3) live on the tongue and in the gut, where the...

What if you could enjoy all the powerful health benefits of fasting without actually going hungry? Dr. Chris Rhodes, a biochemist with a PhD from UC Davis, has discovered a revolutionary approach that might make this possible. During this fascinating conversation, Dr. Rhodes explains how fasting triggers a remarkable survival response in our cells. After about 24 hours without food, our bodies deplete glycogen stores and enter "true fasting metabolism," activating anti-inflammatory pathways,...
