The Hidden Brain of Metabolism: Rethinking the Pancreas
We’ve long underestimated the pancreas — but new research reveals it's more than a digestive workhorse. From real-time hormone tracking and microRNA surprises to oxytocin’s metabolic role and age-defying molecules like taurine, this episode uncovers how the pancreas choreographs a complex interplay of aging, immunity, and energy regulation. Get ready for a deep dive into the science that's reshaping how we understand — and treat — metabolic disease.
