Do you find yourself constantly craving instant gratification? Like finishing an entire Netflix series in one night, or feeling the satisfaction of clicking “Buy Now” at an online shop?

We all experience these moments of instant gratification and it can provide a great sense of accomplishment. However, if we don't take steps to manage our desire for quick and easy wins, it can have an impact on our health and well-being.

Join me today as we discuss the science behind managing our desire for instant gratification. My goal is to help you live the life you’ve always wanted while staying healthy.

What you will learn from this episode:

• Discover the downside of instant gratification, especially in relation to our relationship with food and our body;

• Find out what doable action steps are there for you to practice as you work on managing your desire for instant gratification

“Give yourself more time, more trial and error, more grace. The science shows that this kind of self-acceptance makes you more resilient, and thus more likely to achieve your goals.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim
