Essentials: Healthy Eating & Eating Disorders - Anorexia, Bulimia, Binging

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss both healthy
eating and clinically recognized eating disorders, including
anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. I explain how brain
circuits, hormones such as leptin and reward systems interact to
regulate appetite, satiety and overall eating behaviors. I also
discuss the serious health risks associated with anorexia, explain
how disrupted eating habits contribute to its development and
highlight evidence-based treatments for anorexia. Finally, I
explore binge eating and bulimia, discussing the underlying causes
and the pharmacological treatments commonly used to support
recovery. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com. Thank you
