“The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat.” Author and neuroscientist Stephan Guyenet, Ph.D., shares cutting-edge research to answer one simple, yet confounding question: Why do we overeat and what can we do about it?

What’s the take-home message of the failure of “Biggest Loser” contestants to maintain their extreme weight loss? What food qualities impel us to overeat? What foods provide the most satiety? What eating strategies can we employ to outsmart our hungry brains? What’s the role of sleep in governing eating behaviors? How does chronic stress undermine our dietary success? Are the Dietary Guidelines for America (DGA) really responsible for America’s epidemic of obesity? Are carbs the culprits? Or is it fat? Click HERE for part 2.
Aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down—if you give your body the right support.

Boost your cellular energy, and enhance muscle strength and endurance—all without changing your diet or exercise routine.
I discovered Mitopure a few years ago, and have made it part of my regular routine.
