Wolverines Know Things Too
I’m honored to have my cousin, Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, on the podcast today. Ashley is a professor at the University of Michigan (as a Buckeye, I try not to hold that against her), and she is also one of the world’s leading experts on food addiction. I was so surprised to learn from Ashley that by technical definition, the same percentage of people in the U.S. who are addicted to drugs and alcohol are addicted to processed foods! To me that’s an incredible statistic, and Ashley shares her knowledge about why that is and what it means. A passion for this subject and a desire to help people better understand their relationship with food certainly makes Ashley a higher leader in my book. I hope you enjoy and appreciate her insight as much as I did!
