The People's Scientist

Many correlative studies suggest that eating fast food can increase our risk of depression and psychological stress. But how exactly does fast food do this, and more importantly, how can we reverse it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

CRISPR gene editing has the ability to propel the field of medical research forward at a much faster rate than any other genetic editing technique of the past. Promising data is coming out looking at the ability of CRISPR gene editing to fight against cancer and cure genetic disease. But what does the future hold for CRISPR gene editing? Hosted on Acast.

The World Health Organization declared a global crisis on hypertension because it is the number one risk factor associated with death in the world. Think because you're young you don't have to worry? Think again. In this episode, I will explain what hypertension means for our health and how we can prevent/manage it.Follow me:IG: @Dr.ScaligiuriFacebook: @ThePeoplesScientistTwitter: @DrSCaligiuriLinkedIn: Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast.

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.Follow me:IG: @Dr.ScaligiuriFacebook: @ThePeoplesScientistTwitter: @DrSCaligiuriLinkedIn: Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri Hosted on Acast.

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.Follow me:IG: @Dr.ScaligiuriFacebook: @ThePeoplesScientistTwitter: @DrSCaligiuriLinkedIn: Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri Hosted on Acast.

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. So come on down this science rabbit hole with her; guaranteed you'll learn something new. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
