Eating, Interrupted
Eating is one of the most basic things we do. But behind every meal, your body is carrying out thousands of invisible calculations. Usually, you never think about any of it. But when something goes wrong? You think about it all the time. On Eating, Interrupted, veteran journalist and Crohn's disease patient Cynthia McFadden explores what happens when food stops feeling simple, and starts feeling personal. From chronic conditions, to food allergies, to the latest science on the gut, brain, and immune system, this is a show about all the complicated ways our bodies respond to what we eat. Real stories. Real science. This is Eating, Interrupted.
