44 分钟Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials,
where we revisit past episodes for the most potent and actionable science-based tools for mental health,
physical health, and performance.
I'm Andrew Huberman,
and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
Today, we are going to talk all about healthy and disordered eating.
And indeed, we are going to talk about clinical eating disorders,
such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.
as well as some other related eating disorders.
However, before we get into this material,
I want to emphasize that today's discussion will include what it is to have a healthy relationship with food.
We're going to talk about metabolism.
We're going to talk about how eating frequency and what one eats influences things like appetite and satiety,
as well as whether or not we have a healthy psychological relationship to food and our body weight and so-called body composition,
the ratio of muscle to fat, to bone, et cetera.
So as we march into this conversation,
I'd like to share with you some interesting and what I believe are important findings in the realm of nutrition and human behavior.
I know these days, many people are excited about or curious about so-called intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is as the name implies, simply restricting one's feeding behavior,
eating to a particular phase of the 24 hour or so-called circadian cycle.
