"I think what may be difficult to determine is a single cause. It could be a combination of factors that make it difficult to fuse table or associated a single cause. I think the root cause is caloric flux but then describing in broad trends whats caused that is likely multifactorial. - Decreased exercise - Increase reliance on processed food - More processed food means less fermentable fiber - Less fermentable fiber means less SCFA - Less SCFA means less FFAR2 signaling which then means less endogenous GLP-1/PYY increased insulin resistance less hormonal satiation increased adiposity -" @gregmushen on X 2025-07-25 21:57:41 UTC 24.2K followers, XX engagements

"Circadian rhythm governs the SCN or master clock. Incredibly important. But its not the only clock we have. We have other peripheral clocks. SCN signals these peripheral clocks but they also respond to independent stimuli such as food. 👇" @gregmushen on X 2025-07-22 23:41:56 UTC 24.2K followers, 9912 engagements
