Discover the fascinating science behind gratitude and how it can literally change your brain chemistry to help you make better food choices. In this episode, Dara explores research from Harvard, UCLA, and other major universities showing how gratitude releases the same feel-good chemicals as comfort food - without the calories.

Key Takeaways

🔑Willpower is Limited: Like a cell phone battery, willpower depletes throughout the day

🔑Gratitude Replenishes: Shifts you from depletion to abundance state Three Before Three: Practice gratitude 3 times daily before eating

🔑Savoring Matters: Notice and appreciate good moments as they happen

🔑Foundation Change: You're not just changing one behavior, but the foundation all behaviors spring from

Try This Week The "Three Before Three" Practice:

Three times a day, before you eat anything, take 30 seconds to think of three things you're genuinely grateful for. They can be tiny things:

That you have food That you have taste buds to enjoy it

That you have people to share it with (or peace to enjoy alone)

That you have electricity, a house, warmth
