Foods That Boost Your Mood, Optimal Sleep & WTF is Looksmaxxing
About this episode
This episode explores the impact of diet on mood, optimal sleep for health, and the trend of looksmaxxing.
Can what you eat really shape how you feel day to day? What’s the ideal amount of sleep for long-term health? And how much of our disease risk is influenced by everyday habits? This week, we break down new research linking flavonoid-rich foods to better mood and long-term wellbeing, the optimal sleep window for supporting blood sugar control and reducing diabetes risk, and a major global study showing how lifestyle factors are shaping breast cancer rates. We also unpack the rise of looksmaxxing — the viral trend redefining self-improvement, appearance and pressure for the next generation.
