266: Never Binge Eat Again

Why do some people suffer from overwhelming food cravings, multiple times per week—and others never have cravings at all? Why do some of us feel addicted and out-of-control with food while others could take it or leave it? Food is information, and modern foods are often filled with addicting, pleasure-center stimulating information that we can easily get hooked on. So what do you do about it? How do you change this behavior and never binge again? Dr. Glenn Livingston will share his personal and professional expertise in this area.

------------
Listen & Learn:

• How Glenn ate as much as 7,000 calories per day, but learned to overcome it
• Why character trumps willpower—and how you can use that to your advantage
• Why it's less important to uncover the "why" behind cravings and instead uncover the "how" to fix it  
• Why lizard brain says: "Do I eat it, mate with it or kill it," and how this can cause problems
