In this episode of the Born to Thrive podcast, Alex and Luke Hanna explore the concept of "food noise," the persistent thoughts about food that can disrupt healthy eating habits. They discuss how dysregulation in the homeostatic and hedonic systems of appetite control contributes to this issue, with the homeostatic system driving hunger to maintain body weight and the hedonic system triggering eating for pleasure. The conversation covers practical strategies for managing food noise, including environmental adjustments, better sleep and stress management, and fostering a healthier relationship with food. Luke emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, realistic goal-setting, and understanding that everyone's journey with food and fitness is unique.
