Yes, we have a problem that we're living in this abysogenic environment. The food landscape is pitted

against us. But I do think that we really have to remember that food is there to be enjoyed.

It's so much part of our emotions, our social connections, our culture. This whole idea of negative

calories almost sits a bit uncomfortably with me about kind of almost gamifying food.

Hey guys, welcome back to the Digestus podcast. I'm your host, Bethany Cameron. And on today's

episode, I have Dr. Sarah Barry with me. She is a professor in the Department of Nutritional

Sciences at King's College London and chief scientist at Zoe.

And her research focuses on precision nutrition, metabolism, food, and fat structure.

So in today's episode, we discuss the food matrix and how the structure of our food

actually impacts the way we digest and

absorb the nutrients and how calories actually change in a food depending on their structure.

We also talk about negative calories and if they actually exist. We dive into smoothies and the proper way to consume them,

and also how fast we eat actually does matter.

And if you're a peri or postmenopause, Dr. Barry explains the reasons why women experience

weight gain, even though they haven't changed their eating habits

or exercise routine and why we actually crave more food after a bad night's sleep.

So much is covered in today's episode, and I cannot wait for you all to listen in. So without

further ado, let's dive right in. Thank you so much, Dr. Sarah Barry, for being on the show today.

I feel like it's been a long time coming and we're finally here.

Well, thank you for having me, Bethany.

You can only answer yes or no. You ready? Yeah. This is what
