on the Spectrum of Addictive Eating: From Occasional Overindulgence to Clinical Impairment

In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind food addiction and explore why certain foods can be as addictive as drugs like nicotine or alcohol.

Our guest, Ashley Gearhardt, is an expert in the field and shares fascinating insights into how the food industry has engineered products to hijack our brains' reward systems, leaving many people struggling with cravings and compulsive eating.
