#256: Conquering Your Cravings + Why Diets Fail With Dr. Jud Brewer

---

---

Join Gabby as she sits down with Dr. Judson Brewer, a renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and everyday habits, with a particular focus on eating habits. Dr. Brewer, the author of "The Hunger Habit" and "Unwinding Anxiety," shares his extensive insights into how our brains form habits around anxiety, smoking, and eating, and how mindfulness can be a transformative power in addressing these habits. Through his practice, Dr. Brewer observed a positive spillover effect of mindfulness on eating behaviors while initially focusing on smoking and anxiety. This discovery led him to delve deeper into how mindfulness can specifically target and improve our relationship with food.
