Dr. Scott Kanoski, PhD, is a Professor of Human and Evolutionary Biology and Neurobiology at the University of Southern California. We discuss how different foods impact memory and cognitive function as well as cravings. We also discuss how GLP-1 drugs wor...

Highlights

Scott Kanoski joins Andrew Huberman to explain how food affects hunger, memory, cognition, and craving through interacting brain, gut, hormonal, and microbial systems.

Transcript

Scott Kanoski: When I started studying how diet impacts neurocognition and memory function, the first model we were studying was a high sugar model. The animals basically had ad libitum access to a sugar solution. About the same percentage of calories as a...
