Why Willpower Fails: The Psychology of Food, Cravings, and Weight

Dr. Mark Hyman speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman about why nutrition knowledge often isn't enough to change eating behavior. They explore the psychological drivers of cravings, the difference between emotional and physical hunger, and how rigid food rules can backfire into cycles of guilt and overeating. Goldman shares practical strategies for building pause, developing non-food coping tools, and understanding the role of GLP-1 medications in quieting food noise.
