Episode notes
Cravings and Memories
- Cravings are linked to memories, like enjoying junk food at a baseball game as a child.
- The body remembers pleasurable experiences, creating strong cravings pathways.
Six Superfoods
- Eat six superfoods daily: glucosinolates, fiber, dopamine-supporting foods, omega-3s, amino acid-rich foods, and polyphenols.
- These foods support gut health, which in turn improves mood and overall well-being.
Circadian Fasting
- Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed to optimize digestion and hormone balance during sleep.
- Avoid fasting all day and eating late into the night, as it disrupts the gut bacteria's circadian rhythm.
