How Understanding the Neuroscience of Chewing Can Help Us Eat Healthier
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.

Update Episode: Apple Cider Vinegar
Welcome to Episode 80 where I share the most recent clinical evidence on apple cider vinegar in individuals living with type 2 diabetes. Scientists provide data that suggests 1-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in water may impart some benefits. Tune in to find out more!

Bitter Bodyguards in Our Lungs
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!
