What you'll learn from this episode:
Why we have food cravings, the evolutionary purpose they once served, and how cravings have become hijacked by man-made manipulated flavors and sensory enhancing ingredients.
How the brain is responsible for regulating our body weight, and how manipulated foods are unable to trick our brain into thinking it’s getting more calories than it actually is.
The history of pleasure, and the difference between the motivation circuit (wanting) and the opioid receptors (liking).
How Northern Italians are able to eat a diet of rich, fatty foods, and pasta, yet maintain such low levels of obesity.
How slowing down, consuming real food, and making sure to enjoy every bite can help you heal your relationship with food.
And so much more!
