How to Manage "Stress Eating" & Compulsive Eating | Dr. Elissa Epel & Dr. Andrew Huberman

Dr. Elissa Epel and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the complex relationship between stress, eating habits, and the opioid system, explaining how stress can lead to overeating or loss of appetite, and how these responses are tied to the brain's reward system and insulin resistance, particularly in the context of obesity and compulsive eating behaviors.

Elissa Epel, Ph.D., is a professor and vice chair of the department of psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the author of a new book entitled The Stress Prescription. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
