How Your Diet Shapes Your Mind and Strengthens Family Bonds with Shawn Stevenson

Have you ever stopped to consider the profound impact your family mealtimes have on your overall health and wellbeing? The statistics are certainly a wake-up call: only around 30% of American families regularly dine together, yet, the consequences of neglecting this tradition are far-reaching. Shawn Stevenson, research scientist and nutrition expert, offers intriguing insights into the intricate interplay between our food choices, metabolic health, and mental wellbeing. Together, we unravel the alarming data revealing how children who share family meals at least 3x per week have significantly lower rates of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and disordered eating.
Shawn joins Ruben to discuss moving beyond the dining table, the heart of lifestyle choices and their implications on our health. From the evolutionary advantages of our brain size to the critical role of the hypothalamus in energy absorption, we investigate the profound effects of our environment and culture. Shawn brings to light the concerning links between screen time, device addiction, dopamine hits, and our health. Coupled with the impacts of processed foods, it's clear that we need to pay more attention to what we consume, both physically and mentally.
How does Shawn live through love? "Being someone who expresses congruence, being someone who walks and lives their word. When your thoughts, your words and your actions are in alignment."
