We train our brain, we ingest nutrient-rich and calorie-logical foods, we live healthier, we live happier, we live better.
Imagine your brain as an untrained dog, always chasing after immediate gratification. In this eye-opening episode of the Sobertown Podcast, Todd Crafter, an Aussie with a knack for breaking down complex ideas, explains why our brains are wired to seek out instant rewards and how this impacts our impulse control.
Drawing from his background in Allied Health and Exercise, Todd shares insights into how evolutionary traits and modern marketing tactics exploit our natural inclinations, making it hard to resist those calorie-rich foods and, of course, alcohol. But don't worry, Todd doesn't leave you hanging with just the bad news. He dives into practical strategies for training your brain to overcome these impulses.
Whether you're trying to cut down on drinking or eliminate it altogether, Todd's advice is both actionable and encouraging. His passion for sobriety shines through as he discusses how understanding the science behind our cravings can empower us to make healthier choices. Todd's journey from a quiet introvert to a vocal advocate for sobriety is inspiring in itself. Initially hesitant to share his thoughts, he now contributes extensively to the Sobertown Podcast and their website.
His blogs, like 'Sober Toolbox' and 'Your Body on Booze', are packed with research and practical tips that can help anyone struggling with addiction. If you're ready to take control of your impulses and live a healthier, happier life, this episode is a must-listen. Todd's blend of scientific knowledge and personal experience offers a unique perspective that can help you understand your brain better and train it for a more disciplined approach to life.
