    Today we are going to dive into a discussion about the book The Pleasure Trap. The authors, Dr Douglas Lisle, a psychologist and Dr Alan Goldhamer, a chiropractor and health educator, explain how modern food environments hijack our natural instincts, leading us into a cycle of addiction and poor health. Sound familiar? The Pleasure Trap is a fascinating book that delves into the psychology and biology of why we get hooked on unhealthy foods. At its core, the book explains that humans are wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. This was beneficial for survival in ancient environments where food was scarce and physical effort was necessary. However, in today’s world of abundant, highly palatable processed foods, these instincts can lead us astray.

    In a world where anxiety plagues so many, we are learning that anxiety and the effects of processed food on the brain can be closely related. They are so closely linked that they often travel in tandem, similar to a two seat bicycle. They improve together, as well as weaken together. Research suggests that ultra-processed foods can trigger pleasure centers in our brains, leading to cravings and potentially addictive behaviors. These foods often provide a temporary sense of comfort or relief from stress and anxiety due to their impact on neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Listen in as we tackle the complexities of the interplay between processed food and anxiety, you might just find answers you have been looking for!

    Join us for episode 68, as we take a deep dive into the world of Inner Family Work. This topic is nuanced and SO interesting, but it’s not for everyone
at first. That’s because the foundational branches of recovery need to be in place first: food/food prep, sleep, movement, and spirituality. We believe that when those four cornerstones are anchored, we can finally gain access to all our parts. The discussion goes even deeper when we explore how operating from a position of clarity and compassion with our inner family allows us to make the next right move in real life. And THAT is recovery in action.
