“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 lessons do primitive hunter-gatherers offer us in terms of the evolution of our appetite mechanisms? What is leptin and how does it regulate eating behavior? 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.
The science of you, working better.
There’s a crucial molecule in your body that helps control your circulation, your energy, your stamina, your heart—even your sharpness of mind. It’s called nitric oxide.
After age 40, your body makes less and less of it. That means less blood flow. Less stamina. Less of you. But now there’s N1O1 nitric oxide lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan Bryan — the world’s leading nitric oxide researcher.
I take them twice a day, especially before my workouts, to support healthy circulation and boost oxygen delivery to my muscles and brain.
N1O1 is designed to naturally restore your body’s nitric oxide levels, and goes to work in minutes, releasing nitric oxide directly into your bloodstream, and helping you feel the way you’re supposed to feel.
More energy. Better blood flow. Sharper focus. Day after day.
