Food Addiction: Fact or Fiction?

Food addiction: is it real? Is it all in our heads, or does our biology play a pivotal role? Is our craving for junk food emotional, addictive, or something deeper? Get the facts on this episode of Fat Science.

Hosts Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright uncover how misunderstood metabolic disorders are among healthcare professionals and the importance of approaching obesity and diabetes by examining metabolic health rather than following one-size-fits-all advice. They also share personal experiences, laugh over classic movie moments, and show how marketing can influence food cravings.

Learn actionable tips to balance your diet, understand the cravings, and approach weight with a scientific lens, not judgment. Enjoyment of food is part of life, but understanding your body’s needs can transform your health.

Tune in to unravel the science behind what we eat and why we can’t seem to stop!
