What this video covers
[music] [music] [music] [music] On the Mind and Matter podcast, we learn together from the best scientists and thinkers alive today about how your mind body reacts to what you feed it. Before starting Minded Matter, I spent 10 years in academia doing scientific research. I got a PhD in neuroscience from Harvard University where I focused on neuroendocrinology and the neuroscience of behavior. And before that, I specialized in molecular, developmental, and evolutionary genetics.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- And in addition to the podcast, I write long- form content and send out a free weekly newsletter at the mind and matter substack at mindmatter.substack.com.
- I also offer private science-based health consulting where we work one-on-one and apply the same rigorous evidence-first approach you hear on the podcast, but personalized.
- All of those links for health consulting, for my affiliate partners, and the Substack page are all in the episode description.
- Uh but then what we study in our lab are little proteins that are called microproins or peptides depending on who you talk to.
- But we think um those peptides might have been used to talk to each other uh to control instead of kill because a lot of these peptides uh have very specific functions.
- So, 39 and below are considered peptides in the eyes of the FDA.
