Seducing Your Brain to Come Back for More
from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin
Got milk? I hope not! In this podcast, I'll tell you why dairy can make you fat, grow (in not a good way!), promote insulin resistance, create or exacerbate acne and cravings, and trigger all sorts of other problems you don't want on your plate (literally!). Dairy also has a drug-like effect on your brain, which explains why you can't stop devouring cheese. I'll even explain why milk is bad for your bones and contributes to autoimmune disease (and I've got studies to support both those claims). After this broadcast, you'll reconsider the health halo that surrounds dairy. Oh, and if you love dairy, I've got some easy swaps to make giving it up a breeze. Learn more about your ad choices.
