219 - Mind Over Milkshakes: Why Belief Shapes Your Hunger

About this episode

This episode discusses how belief and mindset around food can impact physiological responses to hunger.

Same milkshake. Same calories. Same ingredients. Two completely different hormonal responses. A Yale study changed how I think about everything I teach around food, restriction, and the body. This episode breaks down what the research actually says, and why your mindset around food is doing more physiological damage than you probably realize.
