This podcast episode explores the concept of food addiction, questioning its validity by comparing essential life functions like eating to non-essential substance addictions. It emphasizes the role of dietary restrictions in perceived food addiction. Through various studies, including those on fasting-induced sugar binging in rats and cultural food pairings, the episode highlights how restrictions increase cravings and dopamine responses, leading to binge eating behaviors. Atheana advocates for intuitive eating and habituation to reduce compulsive eating, suggesting that food addiction might be more about restricted access than addiction itself.

With gratitude,
