How much protein, and when: the experts' practical targets compared
Lyon, Norton, Galpin and Huberman's AMA give overlapping but not identical guidance on daily protein amounts, per-meal doses and distribution across the day. Comparing their numbers side by side shows the useful range and where the real disagreements lie.
Stop eating all day: what fasting researchers say about snacking and late meals
Jason Fung, Satchin Panda, William Li and Huberman converge on a practical rule: compress eating into a daytime window and give the body roughly 12 or more hours overnight without food. The timing of meals, not just their content, appears to shape insulin, fat burning and circadian health.
The short supplement list most experts agree on: vitamin D and omega-3s
Rhonda Patrick, Roger Seheult, Peter Attia and Huberman each single out vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA) as among the best-supported supplements, with magnesium often close behind. Knowing the consensus core helps you skip the long tail of speculative products.
Why sugar cravings start in your gut, not on your tongue
Taste researcher Charles Zuker, gut-brain scientist Diego Bohórquez, and Huberman's sugar episode each describe a gut-to-brain sugar-sensing circuit that drives wanting independently of sweetness. This helps explain why diet sodas and willpower often fail against cravings, and why tools that work on the gut side matter.
Women are not small men: why female nutrition rules differ
Stacy Sims, the Mel Robbins body-reset episode, Sara Gottfried and Lisa Mosconi all argue that hormones, menstrual cycles and menopause change how women should eat and fuel exercise, including eating before training instead of fasting. Generic advice built on male studies can backfire for women, especially after 40.
Your psychiatrist may soon ask about your diet: mental illness as metabolism
Chris Palmer's work with ketogenic diets, Mark Hyman's inflammation model, Peter Attia's food-emotion link and Huberman's mood episodes all treat the brain as a metabolic organ that food can heal or harm. This reframes diet as a legitimate lever in mental health care rather than a lifestyle footnote.
