Episode Summary
There’s SO much more to a healthy diet than calories in vs. calories out.
That’s why in today’s episode, I’m joined by renowned physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Jason Fung to unpack the science of hunger and why we’ve totally dropped the ball on healthy eating habits in today’s society.
We dive into the concept of food noise and explore the different types of hunger—especially the environmental and conditioned cues that are quietly driving your eating habits.
Dr. Fung explains how awareness of these triggers can be a powerful first step in shifting your relationship with food so you can feel healthier than ever before.
Drawing from insights in his book The Hunger Code, he shares practical strategies to help you identify your triggers and regain control over your appetite.
Tune in here for some empowering tools to feel confident and amazing in your body again!
