Why do meat cravings feel so powerful, even when you’ve decided to move toward plant-based living?
In this episode of the Vegans Explore Podcast, Sean A. Russell breaks down the psychology behind meat cravings using science and behavioral research. We explore habit loops, dopamine triggers, cultural nostalgia, emotional conditioning, and why cravings are often about memory and identity, not nutrition.
You’ll learn how your brain forms food associations, why stress intensifies cravings, and how to rewire patterns without shame or guilt. This conversation is practical, empowering, and grounded in real behavioral science.
Whether you’re a Pre-Vegan, newly Vegan, or simply curious about how your brain works, this episode will help you understand your cravings so you can respond with clarity instead of frustration.
