By 2035, it’s estimated that half the world’s population will be overweight. At the same time, we’ll likely continue to live longer and longer which means the financial cost and even more tragic loss of healthspan will be catastrophic. While the solution seems obvious, eat less and exercise more, things are not so simple in reality. I wonder if perhaps we’re asking the wrong questions about weight? What if the real question to ask is why we’re so hungry in the first place? On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet Amy Shah, MD, whose work focuses on answering this question.
Listen to learn:
Why food is mood Why certain foods fill you up, others have “no limits” The importance of resistance training, and yes for women too How meal timing (not long fasting) can be very helpful for everyone Why hyperpalatable foods encourage people to eat up to 500 calories more per day, even when the foods are identical Links

The assault on our sleep really only began in earnest 75 years ago as the world became flooded with light, stimuli, shift work, and birthed the concept of a 24/7 world. Today, we're wired and tired, overworked and under rested. This is not news to you, but what might be
When we think of high-risk jobs, we often think of underwater welders, fishing boat crew, and oil rig workers. But did you know that all shift work is also high risk? You're unlikely to have physical risks, but the metabolic, mental health, impaired driving ability, and even cancer risks are sky high. 
Here's what happens when we don't sleep: 
Ghrelin, the hunger hormone goes up Blood glucose and metabolic health suffers  Cardiovascular risk shoots way up Risk of neurodegenerative illness skyrockets  Links

There are over 400,000 hip replacement operations performed each year in the USA alone. While our modern healthcare systems struggle to produce positive outcomes in some areas, in others - joint replacements in particular - the progress is remarkable. A hip replacement used to be a last ditch effort to live pain-free, whereas today, people are regaining active lives earlier and success rates improve with each passing year. If you, or someone you love, is struggling with an arthritic hip and considering options, this week’s podcast is for you.
Listen and learn:
What the 20 year outlook is for a replaced joint and what happens after that Why you should say no to running post-op, and yes to yoga, skiing and tennis What you need to know about femoral acetabular syndrome (FAI), labrum tears, and arthritis Why obesity is a major contributor to hip pain and sadly a common disqualifier for hip replacement surgery Links

Are you familiar with the concept of being time poor? This is when you have your life more or less figured out, but you don’t have a spare minute in your schedule. Since time is your greatest asset, and is in short supply, why not buy some of it back if given the opportunity?
For many of us, hiring help in our personal or professional lives seems too expensive, too indulgent, or just downright lazy. But many of us are living lives that are bigger than a 24 hour day, and the only way to get through it with any sense of control and freedom is to enlist some help. On this week’s podcast discover how to buy back your time. 
Listen and learn:
How to calculate what you can, or cannot, afford to hire help for How code, content, capital or collaboration are the four ways to scale your impact Why buying back your time before buying possessions might be worth considering  Links

Have you ever noticed that many cold and flu remedies contain little more than honey and water? Have you ever gone to the doctor feeling ill and felt significantly better almost straight away? The placebo effect is a long observed phenomenon in medicine, but the same expectation effect also impacts most other areas of life.
If you read five-star reviews before visiting a restaurant, it primes you for a great experience. If you’re watching a film that everyone you know loves, you’re also far more likely to react positively to it. My guest on this week’s podcast is an expert in the effect of expectation.
Listen and learn:
Why the placebo-pain connection is so strong How “open label” placebos can be just as effective The lesser-known nocebo effect and its risks How to ethically leverage the expectation effect in your life Links

There’s a saying: “If you want a new idea, read a history book.” That might be true 95 percent of the time, but for the remaining five percent of the time, particularly when looking for problem-solving techniques, the solution might demand a completely new approach. Lateral thinking is the idea of entering from the side door, flipping the problem on its head, and spitballing completely new solutions. On this week’s podcast, we discuss how to apply this technique to your life.
