Learn why you crave what you crave, when to listen to your body’s natural hunger signals, and how to undo crap eating habits.
… Amy Shah, M.D., teaches you all you need to know about the second F word: food. That’s right, you are going to learn all about hunger from the author of the book, “I’m So Effing Hungry: Why We Crave What We Crave – and What to Do About It.” You’ll also find out why focusing on your hunger is more important and effective than going on yet another diet.
Dr. Shah is a double board-certified medical doctor and nutrition expert with training from Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard universities. Her background includes internal medicine and allergy/immunology. During this discussion, she shares why she believes that you can diet all you want, but diets don’t work—and, worse yet, they keep you addicted. They also keep you hungry and keep you unhappy. She helps you lean into your body signals and really understand what’s happening.
