Why do so many of us struggle with fat gain, blood sugar spikes, and insulin resistance—even when we think we’re eating healthy? In this episode, Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt sits down with Dr. Mario Kratz, PhD, the nutrition scientist behind the popular YouTube channel *Nourished by Science*, to expose the food environment that’s setting us up to fail. They dig deep into: - How fat storage breaks down and fuels disease - The myths surrounding CGMs and “normal” blood sugar - Why insulin resistance starts earlier than we think - And what actually works for long-term health and weight loss.

In this episode, Dr. Ted Naiman joins Hava founder Andreas Eenfeldt for a deep dive into the real reasons we’re hungry, tired, and gaining weight — and what to do about it. As a family doctor, author, and pioneer of the satiety per calorie (SPC) concept, Ted has spent decades helping patients improve their health through high-satiety nutrition. He co-developed the SPC score — now central to the Hava app — and has been instrumental in shaping our philosophy from the start. Together, Andreas and Ted explore how modern food broke our satiety signals, why protein is the secret to better body composition, and how a few simple shifts in food choices can transform your health — no calorie counting required. 📘 Need a blueprint for eating smarter?
