    Join me in my first episode of 2023 in my conversation with Dr. Janet Tomiyama, a psychology professor at UCLA who also is the head of the Dieting, Stress, and Health lab at UCLA. Her research interest focuses on the harmful health consequences of stress, dieting, and fat shaming, and has even been covered in the media. Today we are going to be discussing one of her studies that were mentioned in the Washington Post which covered how we can actually re-train our brains to crave healthier alternatives when we are stressed. We cover how our bodies change during times of stress, how it affects our brains, and what we can do to combat it with an adaptive coping mechanism.
