What people don't realize is that the same brain dopamine

release you get with junk foods, you get with alcohol, with

gambling, with social media. And we police that all the

time for ourselves. But yet, we don't recognize the foods that

are doing that to us on a daily basis.

Hey, everyone, Dr. Amy Shaw is back to talk about her new

book. I am so effing hungry and our five step method for

conquering cravings, boosting your mood and making peace

with your body. In today's episode, we'll talk about how

today's food system is hijacking your brain and your

cravings. You'll learn about how the gut microbiome impacts

your hunger and what exactly psychobiotics are. She'll

explain the psychology and neuroscience behind hunger

and cravings. And she'll give us some hacks and small

changes we can make every day to calm our cravings and take

control over our health.

Dr. Shaw, welcome back to the show. Congrats on your book.

Thank you so much for having me back. Yeah, well, I mean, the

topic is near and dear to my heart. Yes, your new book, I'm

so effing hungry. It talks all about why it's not your fault.

And we're going to dive into cravings, the neuroscience

behind cravings, kind of the way food is being presented to us
