Why You're Always Hungry (And It's Not What You Think)

You've eaten. You're not starving. But you're still thinking about food - what's in the fridge, what you're having later, whether that thing in the cupboard is still there.

This isn't a willpower problem. It's a biology problem.

In this episode, Paul breaks down exactly why constant hunger and food preoccupation happen - the hormones working against you, what poor sleep actually does to your appetite the very next day, why ultra-processed food is specifically engineered to keep you eating, and how stress drives you straight to the biscuit tin every single time.

This is the episode that makes it all make sense.

You'll learn:

• Why you can be physically full and still crave food (and the neuroscience behind it)
• What ghrelin and leptin actually do - and why dieting makes hunger worse over time
• The single biggest nutritional lever for managing hunger (most people are miles off on this)
• Why one bad night's sleep can add 500 calories to your day without you noticing
• Five practical things you can do about all of it - starting today

No guilt. No nonsense. Just the research, explained clearly.
