The Art & Science of Eating

Hello!
One topic that has been frequently discussed for a long time has been the myth of food addiction. As a note, addiction is a large subject on its own and the current studies are somewhat nebulous on how it could affect our relationship with food.
Despite this, Jessica discusses the question of how to practice eating intuitively if one feels like they have a food addiction. Jessica references several literature sources on what is addiction (see the transcript), and hypotheses on food addiction’s etiology. Take with a grain of salt that this episode scratches the surface on the topic of addiction but is tailored from a food lens.

In this week’s episode, Jessica is discussing the topic: “Returning to Regular Life after a Pandemic”. The last 365+ days have been a rollercoaster and, rightfully so, this major change has affected many of our habits and routines. The lifting of the restrictions can even bring up new feelings of anxiety as our world begins to return to “normal”.
