Do you eat a full meal, only to find yourself back in the kitchen an hour later? The problem isn't your willpower—it's your biology.
Most advice about hunger just scratches the surface. In this episode of Deep Dive, we go far beyond the common-sense "eat more protein" and "avoid sugar" tips. We dissect the complex web of biological, psychological, and even economic forces that are keeping you in a state of constant hunger.
We believe true self-improvement comes from deep knowledge. This episode delivers the critical information you need to understand and master your appetite.
In this Deep Dive, you will learn:
The Hormonal Battle: How ghrelin (the "hunger" hormone) and leptin (the "satiety" hormone) get out of balance, and what you can do about it.
The Sleep-Hunger Connection: Why a single bad night of sleep scientifically guarantees you will be hungrier and make poorer food choices.
Physical vs. Emotional Hunger: Simple, actionable techniques to identify if you are eating out of stress and habit, not physical need.
The Economics of Cravings: How modern, hyper-palatable foods are engineered to bypass your natural "full" signals, creating a cycle of hunger that profits companies.
The Historical Mismatch: Why our bodies, evolved for scarcity, are struggling to navigate a world of modern abundance (and how to bridge the gap).
Don't just manage your hunger—understand it.
