    Dopamine: Going From Resolutions to Results

    Send us a text Most resolutions don’t fizzle because we’re lazy—they fail because our brains misjudge the tradeoff between effort and reward. We break down the science of dopamine and show how this powerful neurotransmitter influences whether you focus on benefits or get stuck on perceived costs. From the striatum’s caudate nucleus to real-world habit design, we connect research to practical steps you can use today to make goals in fitness, money, and health actually stick.

    Investing in YOU: Why We Must Take Control of Our Health

    Send us a text What if your cravings were engineered and your trust in “expert” advice was quietly purchased? We pull back the curtain on the ultra-processed food economy to show how lobbying, front groups, and selective research turned cheap, convenient products into everyday staples—and why that shift tracks with rising obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

    Too Much Red 40: Your Favorite Snacks Could Be Causing Biological Damage

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered exactly how much Red 40 is too much? After receiving numerous questions from listeners concerned about their favorite snack foods, we decided to tackle this question head-on with scientific evidence and practical advice. The answer is more alarming than most would expect. A 2023 research study confirms that Red 40 causes DNA damage, colonic inflammation, and disrupts the gut microbiome in mice. Even more concerning, the rise in early-onset colorectal cancer over the past four decades directly coincides with increased synthetic dye usage in our food supply. These aren't just correlations – they're causal relationships backed by rigorous scientific investigation. While the FDA sets acceptable daily intake values at just 0.7mg for adults, 7.2mg for teens, and 4mg for children, the reality of our consumption is staggering.

    The Hidden Danger in Your Spicy Chips

    Send us a text Have you ever wondered what gives those spicy chips their vibrant red color? The truth might make you think twice about your favorite snack.  Red 40, a synthetic dye found in most hot chips and spicy snacks, has been classified as a carcinogen with alarming connections to colorectal cancer, hyperactivity disorders in children, and serious disruption of our gut microbiota. Research from the University of South Carolina reveals that the increased use of this chemical over the past four decades parallels the rise in early-onset colorectal cancer – particularly concerning as these products specifically target young consumers. But loving spicy snacks doesn't mean sacrificing your health. This episode explores the hidden dangers lurking in popular brands like Hot Cheetos and Takis while offering practical alternatives that deliver the heat without the harmful additives. I share specific brands available even in convenience stores that use real spices instead of dangerous synthetic dyes, making healthier options accessible to everyone regardless of location or resources. For those ready to take their health journey further, we also discuss the ultimate solution – eliminating snacking altogether – and provide resources to help you transition toward this goal at your own pace. Your snack choices impact more than just your taste buds – they affect your gut health, cancer risk, and even mental wellbeing. Subscribe to Under the Microscope for more science-backed solutions to everyday health challenges, and leave a comment letting us know which snack foods you'd like us to investigate next!
