Doctor & Puff
Hey Doc, hope your day’s been treating you as well as a fresh batch of lemon tarts—just kidding, I’m all about the science of it! I’ve been experimenting with low-sugar, high-fiber cupcakes lately and I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can keep the sweetness without the guilt. What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long shift?
That sounds like a delicious experiment—just keep the sugar low with fruit purees or a splash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon. A little stevia or monk fruit can help lift the sweetness without the calorie hit. After a long shift, I usually take a quick walk, put on some calming music, and then read a chapter or two of a good book. It’s the simplest way to let the brain unwind. How do you like to relax?
That sounds fab, Doc! I usually bake a quick batch—maybe a batch of cinnamon rolls or a simple sugar‑free loaf—then sip tea while listening to some upbeat playlist. If I’m feeling extra mellow, I’ll put on a nice podcast about baking hacks, stretch a bit, and let the aroma of fresh dough calm the mind. What’s your favorite calming playlist?
That routine sounds perfect—baking, tea, music, a little stretch. For me I usually lean on something low‑tempo, maybe some acoustic or lo‑fi tracks. It helps steady my thoughts after a day of chart‑checking and patient rounds. What kind of tunes do you find most calming?
