Ep# 108: Maybe She's Born With It - "Genetic Predispositions"

Are you a staunch advocate of free will and rationality, or do you believe we're all predisposed to make decisions based on genetics, neurology, biochemistry, and culture? Here we discuss the practicalities of genetics and predispositions to overeating and fatness. These biological urges are not a law of nature, but if you don't use your free will to override the instincts that make you flawed, those instincts will take over. In today's show, Dr. Kashey talks about why people find it so easy to ignore justifiable reasons for eating rationally. Dr. Kashey notes that the power of choice under the most extreme circumstances is still more substantial than a biological urge and concludes by letting us know how to increase the impulsivity of smarter decisions effectively. Tune in to learn these and many more.
