The intricate relationship between our minds and our eating habits has long been a subject of fascination and study. Yet, despite advancements in neuroscience and psychology, we still grapple with fundamental questions such as why food addiction occurs, whether moderation is a feasible strategy, and how behavioural treatments can impact our eating behaviours and overall health. On this episode of Wellness Women Radio, we delve into these questions and more with Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD, an Adjunct Associate Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester, a multiple New York Times bestselling author, and an expert in the psychology of eating. As the President of the Institute for Sustainable Weight Loss and CEO of Bright Line Eating Solutions, Susan shares her personal journey with food, weight, and food addiction. She explains the concept of a “bright body,” the principles of Bright Line Eating, and the degrees of food addiction. Join us as we explore the seriousness of food addiction, how to recognise it, and the role of  behavioural treatments in achieving lasting, healthy weight loss. This episode promises to provide valuable insights into eating behaviours and the brain, offering a comprehensive look at how we can transform our relationship with food.
