Addiction, Weight Loss, and Retraining Your Brain with Susan Peirce Thompson of Brightline Eating

Written by Doug Hay

Weight loss, cravings, addiction … these aren’t topics we cover all that often at No Meat Athlete.

In part, because the solutions are very difficult.

But they can be a real source of frustration and set-back, even for the most active among us.

In this week’s podcast, we interview Susan Peirce Thompson, a former tenured professor in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, who has spent 20 years studying the psychology and physiology of food addiction.

Throughout the episode she dives deep into the challenges of uncontrollable cravings and addiction, and how they impact your health.
