In this episode Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Sanil Rege, explores the complex neurobiology of appetite regulation, diving deep into the nuances of the brain-gut-microbiome system.
Based on a recent New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) review titled “The Physiology of Hunger,” the discussion examines hunger not as a matter of willpower, but as a sophisticated interaction between the brain, gut, and microbiome.
This podcast provides clinicians with a pathophysiological framework for differentiating between energy balance systems, reward-based drives, and microbial metabolites to better manage obesity, anorexia nervosa, and the cautious implementation of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

What is Thinking In Psychiatry?
Thinking in Psychiatry is an Academy by Psych Scene podcast featuring short, high-signal audio episodes you can listen to on the go. Each week we break down emerging evidence, evolving clinical frameworks, and complex cases across the lifespan – from psychopharmacology and neurobiology to formulation, systems thinking, and metabolic and sleep psychiatry. Designed for busy clinicians, every episode is grounded in evidence, reviewed by faculty, and focused on one question: how can we practise better psychiatry, starting today?
