Are We Addicted To Our Rises in Insulin?
Manage episode 353162088 series 3231209
In Episode 141 of The People's Scientist podcast, I propose a theory; are we addicted to our rises in blood insulin? Back in the 1940s, injections of insulin were given to treat anxiety and neurosis. They noted that injections of insulin induced a calming effect, sedation, and enhanced motivation to obtain food. In more recent studies we see that insulin may act on brain reward regions. Higher insulin responses after eating leaves one feeling less satisfied and craving more food. I go into some evidenced based strategies on how we may be able to influence our insulin levels and therefore perhaps our food cravings. As always, please seek the advice of your physician or dietitian. Tune in for the interesting details!
