Office Hours: Breaking Free from Food Addiction

Welcome to Office Hours. This is our dedicated one-on-one space to go deeper, get clearer, and explore what truly moves the needle for your health. I'm Dr. Mark Hyman and each week we're going to pull back the curtain and share the insights, the research, the lessons that don't always make it into our conversations with guests.

Because at the end of the day, you are the CEO of your own health, and for many of you, your family's health too. And you might not feel it all the time, but you have far more power and agency than you realize. I'm glad you're here. You ever wonder why we can't just eat one chip or stop after one cookie.

It's not a lack of willpower. It's the science of food addiction. Addiction that's engineered into your food. I mean, no one's going to binge on a bag of avocados, but you'll eat a whole bag of cookies, and that's not an accident. So food addiction, and I don't mean just metaphorically, I mean biologically, is a real measurable thing.
