I AM HUMAN

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I interview Dr. Ashley Gearhardt about food addiction and the many complexities of the human brain.

About featured guest:

Dr. Ashley Gearhardt is an Associate Professor of Psychology in the Clinical Science area at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Yale University with training on the underpinnings of both excess food and alcohol consumption.

Her research has received funding from the National Institute of Health and the American Heart Association.
