Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shawn Stevenson, founder of The Model Health Show and author of the bestselling Eat Smarter Family Cookbook series. Shawn spent over two decades studying nutritional science and functional medicine after recovering from advanced degenerative disc disease at age 20, and he has become one of the most trusted voices in health media for turning peer-reviewed research into real-world family habits. Shawn and Dave break down the science of community eating, including new research on oxytocin, nervous system regulation, and metabolism that shows why sitting down together beats eating alone every time. They cover the four biological drives running your behavior, the connection between family culture and longevity, and how simple shifts like humming, breathwork, and intentional meals can support brain optimization and anti-aging at a cellular level. This conversation also dives into the five love languages hidden inside food, a bio-photon DNA experiment that reframes how energy moves between people, and the exact number of meals per week that changes a child's health trajectory. You'll Learn: The minimum effective dose of family meals per week that lowers childhood obesity and disordered eating How oxytocin and a regulated nervous system change what happens at the dinner table Why teaching kids to cook protects their metabolism and prevents dependence on ultra-…","meta_description":"Shawn Stevenson On The Science of Family Meals, Oxytocin, and Longevity Your dinner table might be the most overlooked biohack in your house.
