What if you could enjoy your favorite foods—without absorbing all the calories? That’s exactly what Paolo Costa, President and Founder of BioLumen, has created. After years of research in polymers, digestion, and metabolic health, Paolo developed a breakthrough dietary fiber that expands in the stomach, reducing calorie absorption while supporting gut health. In this episode, Brent Muller and Paolo explore how BioLumen works, the science behind calorie trapping, and why modern diets are fueling metabolic disorders.

Key Topics Discussed:
Paolo’s journey from mechanical engineering to food science innovation
How BioLumen’s expandable fiber helps block calorie absorption
The difference between natural digestion and modern processed food intake
Why most diets fail and how the microbiome plays a crucial role
The future of AI-driven nutrition, personalized health, and weight management
