@the.living.room.pod: What if a single protein could block weight gain — even on a high fat diet? In this conversation, Dr. Pinchas Cohen shares the early findings from research on MOTS-C that caught even his own team off guard. When they began injecting this protein into mice, they weren't sure what to expect. The results were striking. Mice fed a high fat diet showed no weight gain. And one of the most common complications of diabetes — fatty liver — was completely prevented. This is early science. But the implications are hard to ignore. If a protein can intervene at that level, it raises a much bigger question: what else might be possible when we understand the biology well enough to work with it?
