185: Our Relationship with Food with Dr. Glenn Livingston

Food can be friend or foe. It all depends on our experiences and our relationship with food. Sometimes, food can even be an addiction, causing moments of purge and patterns of overeating. Tonight on Dr. Lo Radio, we're covering a heavy topic that many of us have experience with: bingeing. My guest, Dr. Glenn Livingston, has personal experience in this area, as a psychologist, a worker in the food industry, and as a formerly overweight individual. We'll dive into the patterns around food and bingeing, plus actionable ways that you can break your bad relationship with food. Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
