Is calorie counting really a good way to judge how healthy a food is? Does carrying extra weight always mean something is wrong with your health? And does sugar really “feed” cancer? In this episode, we speak with Giles Yeo, Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge. For more than 25 years, he has studied the genetics of obesity, eating behavior, and the mechanisms through which the brain regulates appetite. In this episode: — Why don’t calories tell the whole story when it comes to nutritional value? — How does genetics influence appetite, overeating, and weight gain? — When does excess body fat actually become dangerous to your health? — Is sugar really addictive, and does it “feed” cancer? — Why might orange juice be more harmful than Coca-Cola? — Do intermittent fasting and Ozempic actually work? — Which principles of healthy eating matter more than constantly counting calories?
