Episode 127: Welcome back to Real Health Radio. This week is another solo episode and we’re revisiting something I’ve covered in the past – how thinking can affect health.
We discuss cognitive dietary restraint (aka dieting) and and see if it can impact our physical health and brain power. We review several studies that have been done in this area and chat about what we can take from these scientific papers and apply to our lives.

Hi Chris, I just wanted to thank you so much for your great podcast. This was another fantastic episode and I have recommended your show to participant’s in Christy Harrison’s Intuitive Eating course of which I am a participant. I work with a non-diet therapist and dietitian as well and have been listing to you since June. Your episode on the Minnesota Starvation Experiment was a complete game-changer for my recovery. Hearing detailed explanations of the research and results in this episode and others has validated my lived experience so much and allowed me to let go of the diet mentality more and more. You’re doing amazing work and filing a very needed space in the HAES community. Thank you so much!
