In a world filled with conflicting opinions about diet and exercise, finding what truly works for you can be challenging. So many of us are struggling with cravings, overeating, and exercise, and the tool we have, diet and exercise, are not working for us. The inner conflict in our brain between the healthy and unhealthy, the good and the bad, continues to dampen our outcomes.
When the survival-oriented part of our brain is programmed to see food as the solution, and our thinking brain recognizes it as a problem, we feel powerless and not in control of our eating habits. But do you know that you can actually break free from food addiction, regain control, and overcome your struggles with food?
Brain flip is the key to resolving the conflict between your sensory brain's view of food as a problem and your rational brain's understanding. By aligning both hemispheres of the brain, you can eliminate inner conflict and develop a healthier relationship with food. Reprogramming your brain enables you to establish patterns that align with the body and life you desire and creates a greater sense of empowerment.
During the conversation with David Zappasodi, we discuss how to reprogram the brain, interrupt behaviors, and break unwanted patterns to change our relationship with food and body image. David's unique perspective, combining academic knowledge with a spiritual approach, sets him apart in the realm of wellness.
