The Craving Mind & Binge Eating Disorders #979

Dr. Jud Brewer is an absolute power house. He is an internationally known thought leader in the field of habit change and the “science of self-mastery." He has over 20 years of experience in mindfulness training and is the author of "The Craving Mind: from cigarettes to smartphones to love, why we get hooked and how we can break bad habits." What habits do you have? Considering a habit is usually always a bad habit, do you think your bad habits are actually addictions? We are all addicted to something, some more than just one thing. It may be social media, porn, sex, food, shopping, alcohol, etc. Dr. Brewer has spent his career on studying mindfulness and the power that we can have over these habits or addictions. Bernadette and Dr. Brewer have a very candid and open conversation, you won't want to miss.

Dr. Mike McFarland is a licensed psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders, and male body image and eating disorders. He discusses with us today what a binge-eating disorder is and that it is different that bulimia. We get started on the topic, but will continue on with it the next time Dr. Mike joins us!
