The Biology of Comfort and Why We Need Stress | HOMe Podcast #002
Episode 2
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, join Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Allen Bookatz, and Jodi Duval as they explore the hidden cost of convenience and comfort in modern life. From ultra-processed foods and low-fiber diets to sedentary lifestyles and technology-driven comfort, the conversation dives into how convenience is quietly reshaping our biology. The HOMeHOPe Faculty explains why small daily habits — like eating whole foods, moving regularly, and embracing mild discomfort — are essential for maintaining cellular health and resilience. Rather than trying to "hack" health with quick fixes, the discussion emphasizes consistent lifestyle behaviors that support the microbiome, metabolic function, and long-term health optimization. Join us as we delve into: • Why fiber is the fastest disappearing macronutrient in modern diets • The role of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids in health • Why habits like sleep, eating, and exercise cannot be "banked" • The physiological consequences of ultra-convenient lifestyles • Practical ways to introduce beneficial stress back into daily life This episode is for you if: • You want to understand how convenience affects human physiology • You're interested in the role of fiber and gut health in disease prevention • You want practical ways to improve resilience and metabolic health • You're curious about the philosophy behind Health Optimization Medicine You can also find this episode on… YouTube: https://youtu.be/6wLPUuLQgcY Find more from Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMeHOPe): Website: https://homehope.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homehopeorg/ Virtual Symposium 2026: https://homehope.org/homehope-virtual-symposium-2026 Use PODCAST10 to get 10% OFF your purchase of the Clinical Metabolomics Module at https://www.homehope.org/ Find more from Troscriptions: Website: https://troscriptions.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ Use POD10 to get 10% OFF your Troscriptions purchase at https://www.troscriptions.com/
