Today, I have the privilege of reconnecting with my friend Robb Wolf, who joined me on two previous podcasts, episodes 130 and 213. He is a former research biochemist and the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat.\xa0\nIn our conversation today, we explore the neuro-regulation of appetite and satiety, diet debates, and the impact of ultra-processed foods. Robb shares the intriguing story behind Dorito Roulette, and we dive into the roles of novelty, palate fatigue, protein, sarcopenia, digestion, and reduced anabolic signaling. We also examine the broader implications of nutrition, autoimmunity, gut health, thermoregulation, and sparkling versus still water, and Robb discusses various ideas he has reconsidered in the last few years.\xa0\nStay tuned for today\u2019s invaluable and thought-provoking conversation with Robb Wolf.\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nWhat is neuro-regulation?\n\nHow the varied flavors of Dorito Roulette tie into our desire to avoid palate fatigue\n\nHow the processed food industry tends to understand satiety better than health professionals\n\nWhy do we need more protein as we age?\n\nHow hormonal changes, decreased anabolic signaling, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to muscle mass loss and fat gain in older adults\n\nWhy moderation is essential when consuming seed oils or processed foods\n\nWhy Robb advocates for making incremental changes in diet and lifestyle rather than drastic changes\xa0\n\nWhy vitamin D production is essential for preventing autoimmune conditions, and the benefits of using vitamin D lamps during periods of low sunlight\n\nThe importance of sodium for athletic performance and recovery\n\nWhy sparkling water may be better for hydration than still water\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\xa0\xa0\n\n\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\n\n\n\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\n\n\n\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\n\n\nConnect with Robb Wolf\n\n\nOn his website\n\n\nThe Healthy Rebellion Radio Podcast\n\n\nOn X and Instagram\xa0\n\n\n\nPrevious Episodes Mentioned\nEp. 130 \u2013 The Paleolithic Way of Eating: Optimum Nutrition for Optimum Health with Robb Wolf\nEp. 213 All About Electrolytes: Symptoms, Causes, and Solutions for Electrolyte Imbalance with Robb Wolf
