Is food addiction real — and what does it mean for you?
In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I talk with neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, founder of Bright Line Eating. We talk about the surprising science behind food addiction. You will want to listen in and hear what she says about willpower and our brain chemistry.
We explore:
How dopamine and food cravings create compulsive eating patterns
Why certain brains are more susceptible to sugar and processed food addiction
The four "bright lines" that help people find freedom from dieting — not restriction
The pros and cons of GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic for sustainable weight loss
If you've struggled with emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, or feeling "out of control" around food, this conversation will help you understand the brain science of weight loss. Even greater news? It will give you hope that freedom is possible.
Listen now to shift how you see food, addiction, and yourself.
