In this engaging episode of The Dr. Jud Podcast, Dr. Jud Brewer takes you on a journey into the fascinating world of brain science and eating habits. With a blend of science and practical advice, Dr. Jud explores how awareness can transform our relationship with food, based on findings from the Practical Awareness-Based Strategies for Eating (PASE) study. Imagine rewiring your brain's reward system to make healthier food choices without battling those pesky cravings—sounds like magic, right? Dr.
Jud shares insights from his research on the Eat Right Now (ERN) program, which uses mindfulness techniques to tackle reward-related eating. This isn't just another diet fad; it's a method that encourages understanding and conscious decision-making about what we eat. The episode reveals how the PASE study tested ERN on adults with a BMI over 25, showing promising results in weight loss and reduced cravings.
You'll hear about the three-step process of Food Reward Awareness Training: noticing eating habits, evaluating their true rewards, and finding healthier alternatives. The study's results are impressive—85% of participants completed the six-month program, with nearly 30% achieving significant weight loss. Beyond shedding pounds, participants reported improved well-being and a healthier relationship with food. Dr. Jud's approach is not about restriction but about embracing awareness and making mindful choices.
With a touch of humour and a lot of empathy, he invites you to consider how retraining your brain could impact your life. Whether you're aiming for weight loss or simply a better relationship with food, this episode offers valuable insights. So, if you're curious about how mindfulness can change your eating habits and potentially transform your life, this episode is a must-listen. Why not explore how your brain can be your ally in making healthier choices?
