Episode 127: Welcome back to Real Health Radio. This week is another solo episode and we’re revisiting something I’ve covered in the past – how thinking can affect health. We discuss cognitive dietary restraint (aka dieting) and and see if it can impact our physical health and brain power. We review several studies that have been done in this area and chat about what we can take from these scientific papers and apply to our lives.

Here’s what we talk about in this podcast episode:

0:20: Do you want to work with me?

4:45: What is cognitive dietary restraint?

8:40: Is there a difference in brain power between someone who’s dieting and someone who isn’t?

14:30: My take on what these findings mean

15:15: Does this same effect occur in children?

21:00: Does dieting impact impulsivity and decision making?

28:45: Why I think this study is important and relevant

31:00: What are the take home points from these studies?

34:00: How to get past cognitive dietary restraint
