Episode 32:  Travels with Dopamine

Ever had a puzzle you couldn't solve?  That was my story with overeating.  Despite being highly educated, overeating and weight gain seemed to be out of my control.  A few months ago, a book, a podcast and a continuous glucose monitor challenged everything I thought I knew about dieting and weight loss.  I learned that managing my insulin was a far more important metric than managing calories.  Join me for my story and for a front seat to fascinating research and theories that go beyond the frustrating - and ineffective - conventional dieting wisdom of eat less, move more.
