Joined by Pablo and Alicia, a food-loving couple, we discuss why food can feel rewarding, how it links to memory and mood, and why eating is often tied to comfort, connection, and shared experiences. From omega-3s and brain function to the science of cravings and the role of the gut, this episode turns complex research into clear, relatable insights. Whether you are curious about nutrition, brain science, or simply why food plays such a big role in how we feel, this episode offers an engaging look at the science behind what we eat.
