Robb Wolf: “A huge swath of what we consume has been engineered to bypass the normal neuroregulation of appetite we have in our brain.”

Wolf, a New York Times bestselling author and former biochemist, joins mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss what really matters when it comes to longevity, plus:

- What we're still getting wrong about weight loss

- How much sodium you really need

- Why you should focus on muscle mass as you age

- How the human body temperature has changed & what it means

- How much protein you should eat for longevity


Referenced in the episode:

- A study showing calorie restriction does not enhance longevity in all species.
