SHOW NOTES:

(11:16) Our brains determine our food intake and regulate our energy expenditure, in a way that works best in our ancestral environment, but not in our modern environment.
(24:33) We consume calories for many reasons, hunger being just one of them. Likewise, satiety is just one of many reasons we stop eating.
(34:40) As a rule of thumb, eat a diet of omnivorous whole foods that are lower in calorie density.
(49:56) Fiber is not an essential nutrient.
(58:35) Nutrient-to-energy is important to health, but once you have adequate intake, there’s not much benefit in taking in more.
(1:04:46) Most people in the US are more susceptible to obesity than others. Whether or not they actually become obese comes down to the environment they choose.
(1:15:31) Blood pressure, on a genetic level, doesn’t typically change as one gets older.
