The Science of Nutrition with Dr. Nicole Avena

We have reached the point of spring where the New Year’s Resolutions have begun to fade and the usual realization is beginning to set in: beach season is fast approaching. That begs the question, “Why am I still going back to the grocery store for my third pint of ice cream this week?”.

You will need to wonder no longer as, this week, Drew & Liv host Dr. Nicole Avena – a research neuroscientist and expert in the fields of nutrition, diet and addiction. Together, we uncover some uncomfortable truths about certain foods, when you may be more susceptible to their effects, and provide strategies to mitigate those unwanted effects.

To learn more about Dr. Avena, follow her work, or read one of her books, head to her website, Facebook page, Instagram, or Twitter.
