Have you ever noticed that you tend to eat more in noisy places? Whether it’s a bustling restaurant, a crowded party, or even a busy street, the sounds around you could be affecting more than just your mood. Surprisingly, loud noises can actually dull your sense of taste, making food less enjoyable and prompting you to eat more in an attempt to satisfy your cravings. In this episode, we’ll explore how noise impacts your taste perception, stress levels, and eating habits—potentially leading to overeating and weight gain.

Listen on to find out how your environment might be sabotaging your diet without you even realizing it!

Interested in naturally suppressing your appetite and burning fat? Or finally losing stubborn fat?
