Secret Side of Thanksgiving Turkey
The People's Scientist
11/22/20 • 22 min
In Episode 83, I prepared a Happy Thanksgiving episode and dive into the scientific evidence on if turkey can promote sleepiness. Turkey is rich in an amino acid called tryptophan. For decades, scientists have studied tryptophan in the promotion of mental wellbeing and sleep quality. Why? Because in our brain, tryptophan is converted into serotonin and then melatonin; both very important molecules required for positive mood and sleep. Tune in to hear all the clinical trial details!

Bitter Bodyguards in Our Lungs
The People's Scientist
11/15/20 • 22 min
Today in Episode 82 of The People's Scientist podcast, I share one of my favorite topics and that is taste receptors! It was only about 10 years ago that scientists realized the bitter taste receptors are expressed outside the mouth, and indeed are expressed in the airways and lungs. But, the lungs are not coming into contact with food, so what is their role here? Scientists provide evidence that suggests the bitter taste receptors exist as the gatekeepers or bodyguards that detect potentially harmful compounds and bacteria and thus are essential for our respiratory health and immune system. So if were are more sensitive to bitter tastes, what does this mean for our immune system? Can bitter compounds be a new treatment strategy? Tune in to find out!

How Understanding the Neuroscience of Chewing Can Help Us Eat Healthier
The People's Scientist
11/08/20 • 19 min
Today in Episode 81, I share some scientific evidence on one gut-brain pathway involved in feeling satisfied and full. There are many ways that eating signals to our brain that we are satisfied, for example, the taste receptors, the volume of food, the macronutrients, and in today's episode, the act of chewing. I go into clinical trial evidence on how longer periods of chewing can increase gut satiety hormone release, recruit satiety brain regions, and more. This is the science behind mindful eating. Tune in for all the details.

The Secret Side of Pumpkins
The People's Scientist
10/25/20 • 26 min
In Episode 79, I continue with the Halloween/October themes and dive into the clinical research on pumpkin fruit, pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkins offer many nutrients like vitamin A, beta-carotene, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. But interestingly, the pumpkin seeds are very rich in terpenes, phytosterols, and lignans. It is these less recognized components that seem to offer some potential benefit for our health. Tune in for all the details!

The Scientific Analysis of Serial Killers
The People's Scientist
10/18/20 • 23 min
Today in episode 78 of The People's Scientist podcast, I continue our October Halloween topics. I discuss the scientific analysis of psychopathy and serial killers. This information is important to determine who may be at risk for enacting serious crimes and to intervene early for prevention. I discuss exams that are provided to people for diagnosis of psychopathy, the difference between male and female serial killers and how this may give insight to prevent future crimes. Tune in for all the details!

Fear in Our Bones
The People's Scientist
10/11/20 • 18 min
Today in Episode 77, I stay on topic with some October/Halloween themes and talk about some new research on how our fear/stress response originates from our skeleton. For many years we thought our fear/stress response originated from our adrenal glands, noradrenaline, and the locus coeruleus of our brain. In this study for the first time, scientists show that our bones respond to stress by releasing a protein called osteocalcin in order to facilitate the physiological response to stress. Why is this information important? Because now it gives us a brand new target, our skeleton, in order to develop new treatments for anxiety and stress related disorders. Tune in for the details!

The Potent Potential of Flaxseed
The People's Scientist
09/27/20 • 22 min
Today in Episode 75 of the People's Scientist podcast, I decided to share some of my own research on the health benefits of a tiny seed, flaxseed. Flaxseed has an usually high content of omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidant ligans, and fiber. We conducted a few clinical trials that indicate flaxseed may have benefit for heart health, brain health, inflammation, breast cancer risk, skin health, and more. Tune in for details!
