Never letting go

Even the simplest of creatures know hunger. That ache for food drives decisions and behaviors in all living things. For most of us, the consequent behaviors of hunger originate in our brains. Then, it's up to our outer nervous system to let our brains know when we've had enough to eat. But not all animals have brains, so University of Kiel zoologist Christoph Giez and colleagues examined jellyfish relatives found in freshwater, called hydra, to see how brainless creatures balance feeling hungry and full. To their surprise, they found hydra have more sophisticated networks of neurons than expected. Despite their brainlessness, hydra also have a nervous system, with one network acting like our central nervous system, which includes our brains, and another network acting like our peripheral nervous system, which includes all the nerves outside our brain and spinal cord, including the nerves in our guts.

New Track! Calm Cravings: Smash Plateaus, Jumpstart Your Gains

Based on my work with three gainers who came to me because their progress had stalled for several months.

One of the most common causes of weight gain plateaus is stress.

It's also one reason some people never begin their journey!

This track is here to help you get back into the flow and swell up like you never thought possible!

For the first couple weeks, it should be listened to before bed or before a nap or some other time where you will not suddenly (and unexpectedly) encounter stress.

Doja Cat opened a pop-up ice cream parlour and bakery in a local mall. The blackberry flavour was the best.

….Then I lost my appetite after finding out that she made the ice cream from her vag.(?!)😳

"Having stepped away from the stove, my understanding of food is far greater. It sounds odd, but when you've been engrossed in cooking, you become, to a certain extent, lost in what you're doing. Seventeen or eighteen hours a day in the kitchen not only stunts your growth socially; it can also stunt your growth in cooking terms. You become blinded. You are just working, working, working. Routine. Standards, standards, standards. Now that I'm no longer under that pressure, I find I can look at a dish, mentally dissect it and see a way of improving it far better than I could then. I can sit down and work things out more easily. I reflect well and am better at simplifying, working out concepts and understanding food.

A young chef has a habit of overworking things and it takes great confidence to believe in your produce and yourself. I have discovered that I didn't need to put that much effort in. For instance, in the old days I would have put a huge amount of effort into designing a Dover sole dish, but now that I'm out of the kitchen, I know that it should be served plain and simple, with only a little bit of lemon juice and perhaps a splash of olive oil. Delicious. I no longer want complicated food. If I decided to cook again tomorrow, I would do uncomplicated dishes. My menu would contain things I like to eat, and if that's whelks with a bit of malt vinegar and white pepper, then that's what I'd do. It might be fresh crab, seasoned nicely, with a bit of olive oil and some hot toast. Or red mullet with sauce vierge—olive oil, lemongrass seeds, tomatoes and basil. {...} The problem with a lot of chefs today is that they don't have a classical foundation. If food is that good, you don't have to do that much to it."

The discovery, detailed in the journal Scientific Reports, could pave the way for refined therapeutics to treat appetite disorders faced by cancer patients as well as anorexia and potentially obesity. After exposing mice to vaporized cannabis sativa, researchers used calcium imaging technology, which is similar to a brain MRI, to determine how their brain cells responded. They observed that cannabis activated a set of cells in the hypothalamus when the rodents anticipated and consumed palatable food that were not activated in unexposed mice.
