We’re talking science today, ladies and gentleman. I’m talking with New York Times Best-Selling author, Dr. Pamela Peeke, about food addiction: where does it start, how addictive is it, and how do you deal with it? Dr. Peeke specializes in nutrition, stress, and weight-loss – particularly for people over the age of 40. If you have struggled with “yo-yo-ing” weight, then this is the episode for you because, not only will you walk away with some actionable tips, but you’ll also understand WHY your brain thinks the way it does. We’re talking neuroscience, y’all – and it’s awesome!
