Could Brain Inflammation Be Sabotaging Your Weight Loss? Insights from Shawn Stevenson

If you eat calories of Oreos, yeah, you're initially going to lose weight and then you're going to start gaining weight like crazy because of the inflammation.
Ever feel like no matter how many calories you cut, the scale just won’t budge? This episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast might have the answers you’re looking for. Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Shawn Stevenson, author of 'Eat Smarter', to explore a surprising culprit behind weight gain: brain inflammation. Forget the old mantra that 'calories are king'.
Shawn explains how inflammation in your brain can mess with your body’s ability to burn calories, leaving many dieters frustrated and stuck. Shawn doesn’t just identify the problem; he offers practical solutions to help you break free from this cycle. From dietary changes to lifestyle tweaks, he shares actionable tips to reduce brain inflammation and get your metabolism back on track.
You’ll also hear about the fascinating link between hormone balance and calorie intake, and why whole foods beat processed ones every time. But it’s not all about food. The episode also delves into the role of nutrient levels in brain health, drawing on studies from Amen Clinics. If you’ve ever wondered why a high-fat, plant-based diet might be beneficial, or how suboptimal nutrient levels could be affecting your weight, this conversation has got you covered.
With a mix of science-backed insights and down-to-earth advice, this episode is both enlightening and empowering. As Shawn puts it, 'If you eat calories of Oreos, yeah, you're initially going to lose weight and then you're going to start gaining weight like crazy because of the inflammation'. Tune in to learn how to take control of your brain health and, by extension, your weight.
