Episode 102: Welcome back to Real Health Radio. This week we’re looking at how thinking can affect health.
We discuss cognitive dietary restraint (aka dieting) and negative body image, and see if they can impact our physical health as a whole. We review several studies that have been done in this area and we chat about the importance of changing our mindsets around this issue.
