Many of us struggle with our relationship with food. Whether we are caught up in counting calories, tracking steps, or restricting what we eat. We are stuck in a loop that we don’t know how to exit. We have lost our ability to identify hunger -  eating when we are not hungry and overeating when we have deprived ourselves. We even feel shame about what we did or didn’t do. This podcast is all about the research behind how we got here and learning the tools to get out.

Dr. Judson Brewer is an international best-selling author, addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and professor in the School of Public Health and Medical School at Brown University. You may have seen his TED TALK, ”A simple way To Break a Bad Habit,” or read one of his previous books The Craving Mind, or Unwinding Anxiety.


In this episode, we discuss his latest book,  The Hunger Habit - Why we eat when we’re not hungry and how to stop.It will have you rethinking your relationship with food.
