Join Michael Tchao as he interviews world-class experts in nutrition, metabolism, and health, then heads to the kitchen to bring their insights to life. Each episode has two parts: the conversation (why it matters) and the cooking (how to make it taste amazing). From blood sugar to brain health, protein to gut microbes, this show makes the science of eating smarter both practical and delicious. If you’ve ever asked, “But what does that actually look like on a plate?” this is for you. Let’s cook with purpose. Let’s find the Functional Flavor.

Cooking for Longevity: Slow Aging & Metabolic Health - Dr. Michelle Davenport

Episode: Dr. Michelle Davenport on Food Processing, AGEs, and Longevity

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Davenport — a UCSF- and NYU-trained nutrition scientist, dietitian, and former founder of a digital children’s food company (acquired by Jennifer Garner’s Once Upon A Farm). Today, she teaches on social media how people can take control of metabolic health with water-based cooking methods inspired by her family recipes.

We explore

Michelle’s path from PhD nutritionist to startup founder and science communicator
The role of AGEs in aging and chronic disease
Why water-based cooking (soups, stews, steaming) helps preserve nutrients and supports metabolic health
How cultural foods and family traditions can be a blueprint for longevity
Her perspective on content creation, simplifying science, and empowering healthier choices
