EP 062: Never Binge Again with Dr. Glenn Livingston Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

This conversation was absolutely incredible. What I love about this episode is that Glenn and I have very different approaches and there's not one approach that suits everybody, so I love bringing experts on that see things a little different than me, but I still so deeply appreciate how they support people. This conversation is all about overcoming binge eating as a male, so if you know any males in your life who struggle with this I invite you to send this podcast to them, how our brains become hijacked by binge eating foods, reptilian brain and survival mode, and we get into the scientific and psychological approach, which I really love.

About Glenn Livingston

Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more light hearted relationship with food.

In this episode, Glenn shares:

The correlation between struggling with food and other areas of life.
How our brains become hijacked by binge eating foods.
The easiest way to naturally cure food addictions.
How to overcome feeling 'powerless' and out of control around food.
Steps you can take to overcome urges to binge in the moment.

You guys have heard me saying multiple times, "You have to feel in order to heal." This is what this episode is all about.
