Listen in as I share how food has been used as a reward historically and why that might not really serve you well when you're trying to change your eating habits.

Dopamine, the "reward hormone" plays a very large role in this, but unfortunately can strengthen your brain's link between food and reward, making it more likely for it to become a habit to eat a food in a certain circumstance.

You'll also learn how to become aware if you're using food as a reward, as well as what serves as a much more powerful reward and motivator, plus how to use that reward to your advantage.
