In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Tanya Gioia and Jerry dive into the fascinating world of willpower and self-control with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a clinical psychologist renowned for his 'Never Binge Again' programme. Dr. Livingston shares how understanding the emotional triggers behind binge eating can help individuals break free from unhealthy habits.

With anecdotes from his own life, Dr. Livingston highlights the importance of setting simple, achievable rules to regain control over eating habits. The discussion isn't just about food—it's about taking charge of your life and making conscious decisions that lead to a healthier, happier existence.

Are you ready to tame your inner pig and embrace a healthier lifestyle?
