Episode 215: Breaking Free from Food Noise and Cravings w/ guest Dr. Glenn Livingston

In this episode of Hope Natural Health, Dr. Erin chats w/guest Dr. Glenn Livingston about the psychology of food cravings and how to reclaim your mental space from intrusive food thoughts.

Dr. Glenn Livingston is a psychologist and the creator of "Defeat Your Cravings," a method grounded in decades of research and real-world experience. His work has reached over 1 million readers, drawing on both scientific insights into how cravings form and practical strategies to shift long-standing patterns. He is the author of the book "Defeat Your Cravings," hosts a podcast of the same name, and offers live coaching focused on lasting behavior change. 

Dr. Glenn’s journey began with his own struggle at one point reaching 300 lbs and the realization that "loving himself" through traditional therapy wasn't fixing his relationship with food. After consulting for the big food industry, he saw how food is engineered to hit a "bliss point" in the reptilian brain. He eventually designed a system to bridge the gap between biological impulses and the rational mind.

During this episode you will learn about:

• The "Reptilian Brain" vs. the "Neocortex" and why willpower alone often fails 

• Why clear boundaries and "rules" are more effective than "everything in moderation"

• The science of the "Extinction Burst" why cravings get worse right before they disappear 

• How the food industry engineers products to bypass satiety 

• Practical strategies to "cross the river at its source" by using structure to prevent cravings
