Welcome to the Brain Over Binge Podcast, where you learn a simple, brain-based approach to ending binge eating.

I'm Catherine Hansen. I'm the author of Brain Over Binge and the Brain Over Binge Recovery Guide.

My first book, Brain Over Binge, shares my personal story of recovery and the practical and empowering ideas that help me stop binge eating for good. The second book, Brain Over Binge, shares my personal story of recovery and the practical and empowering

ideas that help me stop binge eating for good. The second book is a more structured guide to

help you apply the brain-based concepts in your own life. Additionally, if you're looking

for a quick, encouraging resource that you can use daily to keep yourself motivated, you can

download my free Brain Over Binge Inspiration

booklet, and you can find a link to that in the show description. The Inspiration

booklet is a 31-day e-book that you can pull up on your phone or device whenever you need

it to help yourself stay focused and grounded as you stop binging. Today I'm honored to be

joined by Dr. Pamela Keel. She is a distinguished professor of psychology

and a distinguished research professor at Florida State University. We're going to talk about a recent

study that she led that looked into some of the biological underpinnings of binge eating. The findings

of this study were just published in July of this year, so this is brand new research that has the

potential to inform how we understand and treat binge eating. Dr. Keel were just published in July of this year, so this is brand new research that has the potential

to inform how we understand and treat binge eating. Dr. Keel and I discuss the research findings,

which specifically address how weight suppression impacts the hormones leptin and GLP1, and how these

hormonal changes can reduce fullness cues and drive binging behavior. Dr. Keele shares what

her findings reveal about the urges to binge, as well as what recovery may look like from a biological

standpoint. We also talk about the use of gLP-1 receptor agonists, including their potential

role in treatment, as well as the risks of using them as a medical intervention.

I'm very excited to welcome Dr. Keel to the Brain Over Binge podcast. Welcome to the show.
