Decisions, decisions, decisions. I don’t think people appreciate the sheer volume of decisions they make every day. This has led to decision fatigue, as well as with the added daily stressors of modern life a willpower gap crisis. Add engineered food at an industrial scale and we have a food addiction epidemic driving the rampant obesity and diabetes crisis This was a much needed episode with food psychologist and brain scientist Susan Peirce Thompson who went from drug addiction and teenage prostitution to dedicating her life to non-addictive eating, weight loss and why our brain is at the center of the metabolic disorder epidemic.

She is an adjunct associate professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester and an expert in the psychology of eating.

How modern and the Big Food industry has hijacked our brain and our hormones, and no, this is not by accident! It’s called leptin resistance.

Why food is the first habit that fixes the others, weight loss within the addiction model, the willpower gap and the true reason people won’t, don’t, can’t stick to a healthy and sustainable eating plan.

How Susan’s eating program is uniquely successful to others by reducing one key variable!

Why flour and sugar are drugs as strong as any other you can think of.

The hard data from her Bright Light Eating program has shown to be as powerful as spending $ 1,000 on the “miracle” pharmaceutical semaglutide, backed up by published studies and without all the side effects.

Real life stories of trauma and transformation, including Susan’s very own addiction stories from methamphetamine, crack houses, food addict to successful brain scientist and food psychologist changing lives.
