Re-Imagine Nourishment: Re-Programming Hunger & the Chemistry of Craving

Carol Talbot PhD Season 7 Episode 3

 

What if hunger isn’t biological… but programmed? 

If you were taught that hunger is your body’s signal that it needs food, then think again. What if it’s a signal of something else entirely such as boredom, fear, loneliness, grief, even cultural expectation? 

Hunger is not what you think. With a deep dive into hormones like ghrelin and leptin, this episode reveals how hunger is shaped by programming, not just biology. I’ll unpack the difference between true need and habitual desire and gives you tools to decode your hunger signals.
