Ep 36 Glenn Livingston – Never Binge Again

Glenn Livingston is on a mission to help a million people stop binge eating. As a psychotherapist by training, Glenn did not find a good solution for his own addictive eating patterns in traditional therapy. He set out on his own weightloss journey, funded his own research, and realized that the solution was not fixing his emotional issues, but changing the relationship he had with the voices in his head. In this episode we cover: Glenn’s mission to help a million folks How Glenn gained weight in his early twenties How food addiction took Glenn away from being present as psychotherapist Looking at how our animal brain works Why to fix food addiction with regular therapy does not work How some foods hijack our brain The similarities between cell phone addiction and food addiction Glenn’s origin story of his chocolate addiction How the paradigm of alpha wolf helps you gain control of your eating Why if you think you’re eating for comfort, your wrong Bio Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Glenn has sold $30,000,000 of marketing consulting services over the course of his career. You may have seen his (or his company’s) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page. You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV. 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.
