Description

The People's Scientist is a weekly podcast covering the latest scientific findings on Neuroscience, Physiology, and Nutrition. I, your host, Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri, hold a Bachelor and Master degree in Nutritional Science, a PhD in Physiology, and Fellowship in Behavioral Neuroscience. I am currently a Scientist (Research Fellow) at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC. Every week, I will provide you scientific evidence on important topics pertaining to our brain, body, and nutrition. In the past I have covered intermittent fasting, CRISPR gene editing for cancer therapy, using our own neurobiology to create new habits and break old habits, nicotine and the risk for type 2 diabetes, apple cider vinegar, our diet and depression, bitter tastants as a way to modulate cravings, and far more. Become a part of The People's Scientist Army today by subscribing and becoming more knowledgeable every week.
