Why Mindset Matters with Dr. Adrienne Youdim

In this third episode exploring the science behind our hunger, I cover how our mindset affects our body’s ability to lose weight. Drawing from scientific studies, I demonstrate how a growth mindset and positive self-acceptance improve your likelihood of healthy behaviors and success with weight loss.


Highlights:

• Discover the difference between growth mindsets and fixed trait mindsets, and see how each of these affects our abilities.
• Learn about epigenetics and why it matters for weight loss.
• Find out how self-acceptance or self-deprecation changes your behaviors.
• Hear how our perceptions of ourselves and our behaviors affect our chances of success.
