Dr. Judson Brewer: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry (And How To Stop)

Dr. Jud is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, researcher and author, as well as an internationally known expert in the field of addiction.  He joined us to talk about the topics of his new book The Hunger Habit: Why We Eat When We're Not Hungry and How to Stop. We covered a huge amount of ground here, all circling the theme of why dieting can feel so hard, why willpower alone isn’t enough, if it does us any good at all. As well as how we can begin to rewire our brains to mend our relationship with food, fix the habits that aren’t serving us, and actually get back to enjoying the foods we eat, whilst eating in ways that are aligned with the lives we want to live. I’m already looking forward to having Jud back on to drill a little deeper into the illusion of willpower, so consider a very informative and actionable part one, that might just change the way you eat, forever.
