Episode notes

High intensity exercise can prevent craving food high in fat and it can also reduce maladaptive food seeking behaviors that contribute to overeating so huh how about that hmm my stopping jogging and my never going outside and also eating an entire net full of those baby bell cheeses for dinner could all be related y'all huh I'll say that if you're feeling right now personally attacked by me like I am try to think of what activities make you happy while you do them whether it's running around and chasing a frisbee or belly dancing or climbing a hill pole dancing in the garage wind sprints.

I’m at the airport and there are hundreds of brain scientists everywhere. So I swallowed my dignity/anxiety and approached strangers about the neuroscience they do. The result is a bushel of info on cravings, sleep, consciousness, addiction, dopamine, monogamy, Ozempic, toxins in your brain and so much more with: Georgia Kirkpatrick, Isabella Montana, Dr. Marissa Co, Chancey Garrett, Noah Millman, Pique Choi, Dr. Barbara Sorg and Elizabeth Plunk. Oops, we just made a bunch of new friends. All thanks to poster tubes, a.k.a: nerdurdurs.
