March 10, 2019 PART 2 - Intermittent Fasting and the Ketogenic Diet
In Part 2 of this episode, we will cover all the high quality evidence on the different protocols of fasting and the evidence to supports its effects on reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation, and aging. With the nutritional dogma of eating balanced meals every 3-4 hours, we never really turn on our cell recycling process called autophagy. Autophagy is really only accelerated during times of nutrient deprivation and fasting. Autophagy is essential for ridding our body of malfunctioning cells and mutations which is critical in cancer and neurodegenerative disease.

March 03, 2019 Intermittent Fasting and the Ketogenic Diet - PART 1
The ketogenic diet was originally created for children with refractory epilepsy. So why are people without epilepsy choosing to follow it now? The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting switch our bodies into a completely different metabolic state...is this a good thing or bad? In this 2 part episode, I will cover information from over 100 papers to give you the final answer. So make sure to tune in to find out.

February 24, 2019 Using Our Own Neurobiology to Fight Over Eating
Our brain reward pathway is our brain’s way of telling us this is good, we need this to survive. For example, our brain thinks we need sugar, because sugar = fat storage = survival. But really we are smarter than our brain and know that sugar is not actually good for us in the long run. That is why we are going to use our own neurobiology to hack our brain into getting out of a sugar addiction. In this episode I will explain what high calorie foods do to our brain and 15 ways to reverse it.

February 17, 2019 Trailer
The People's Scientist podcast is hosted and created by Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri, a neuroscientist, physiologist, and nutritionist. Her unique blend of expertise allows her to link together topics that no one else has before. For example, 1) how bitter foods and beverages activate our satiety brain regions and reduce food cravings and calorie intake 2) how the same brain circuit regulates our body's movement, motivation, and mood 3) intermittent fasting and brain health 4) using our own neurobiology to fight sugar addiction, and so much more.
