🍐 In this episode of PodBites, Mashour and Faisal walk you through gluconeogenesis and glycogen metabolism — the metabolic pathways that quietly keep your brain alive between meals.
🎙️ Tune in to explore:


Why glucose is so tightly protected by the body


How gluconeogenesis kicks in during fasting (and where its energy comes from)


The key bypass steps that make it not just glycolysis in reverse


High-yield cycles like the Cori cycle and glucose–alanine cycle


How glycogen is built, stored, and rapidly broken down


The different roles of liver vs muscle glycogen


Hormonal control by insulin, glucagon, and epinephrine


Classic clinical ties like metformin, McArdle disease, and Pompe disease


🌟 A clear, story-driven breakdown that turns metabolic pathways from something you memorize into something that actually makes sense.
