How Do We Get Fat
Why we get fat, what determines where calories go, and what happens when we look beyond energy balance.
This 2016 article explores why we gain fat and challenges the idea that obesity can be explained simply by eating too many calories and moving too little. Gary Taubes examines the role of hormones, particularly insulin, in regulating how the body stores and releases fat—and asks whether the foods we eat may influence fat accumulation before changes in total calorie intake even enter the conversation.

Fasting, Feeding, and Exercise
How fasting and feeding influence metabolism, what happens when we layer in exercise.
These two articles explore how the body shifts between different fuel sources during feeding, fasting, and exercise—and what those shifts actually mean for metabolic health. While fasting and fasted exercise increase fat oxidation, particularly during low- to moderate-intensity exercise, high-intensity exercise relies heavily on muscle glycogen regardless of whether we have eaten beforehand.

How Mitochondria Control Your Metabolism
Dr. Jared Rutter on how cells allocate energy
Andrew Huberman talks with biochemist Jared Rutter about mitochondria as far more than the cell’s “powerhouse.” Rutter explains that metabolism is really the combined activity of trillions of individual cells, each deciding how to use available nutrients. Mitochondria sit at the center of those decisions, helping determine whether fuel is burned to make ATP or directed toward building and maintaining cells. When that resource allocation changes, it can contribute to aging, heart disease, cancer, and other disorders.

Nutritional Ketosis and Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes
One year of carbohydrate restriction improved most measured cardiovascular risk factors
This 2018 study followed 262 adults with type 2 diabetes using a continuous-care program built around sustained carbohydrate restriction and nutritional ketosis, comparing them with 87 adults receiving usual diabetes care. After one year, the intervention group lost substantial weight and improved blood glucose control while also showing lower triglycerides, higher HDL, fewer small LDL particles, larger LDL particle size, lower blood pressure, and substantial reductions in inflammatory markers. Their calculated 10-year cardiovascular risk fell by 11.9%, and many participants were able to discontinue antihypertensive medications. The usual-care group showed no significant improvements.

Effects Of Exercise During Pregnancy On Mode Of Delivery
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This 2015 meta-analysis looked at how regular exercise during pregnancy affects how women give birth. Researchers pooled 10 randomized controlled trials involving 3,160 healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies, comparing supervised exercise programs with usual prenatal care. The programs generally involved aerobic, resistance, strength, and flexibility work performed three times per week at light to moderate intensity.

Rare Disease, Real Kid
Can open science and AI help solve an ultra-rare disease?
Instead of taking the traditional research route, the MVA Hackathon is turning the case of one child with Mosaic Variegated Aneuploidy (MVA) into a global research challenge. With the family’s permission, the child’s genomic and clinical data—information that would ordinarily be available only to a small group of clinicians and researchers—is being opened to a much larger community of geneticists, programmers, AI researchers, students, and citizen scientists. The idea is simple: give many more people and tools a chance to work on an extraordinarily difficult problem and see what they can find.

Emily Kaplan joins Professor Thomas Seyfried for a wide-ranging conversation about the metabolic theory of cancer and why metabolic approaches have struggled to move from research into routine clinical care. Seyfried discusses recent findings from his lab, including work on pediatric glioma and hereditary cancer syndromes, while they explore ketogenic metabolic therapy, repurposed drugs, the GKI, and strategies aimed at exploiting cancer cells’ metabolic vulnerabilities.
