The Hunger Fix with Dr. Pamela Peeke

Season 5, Episode 30, May 14th, 2016

The Hunger Fix: The Three-Stage Detox and Recovery Plan for Overeating and Food Addiction

Do you feel this tremendous need for certain foods and beverages? Science now can attribute that you may be ‘addicted’ to certain “hyperpalatables”.

Chart: Gearhardt et al.

Over one third, a number that boggles the senses, of the global population is now overweight, and the percentages are increasing. Some neuroscientists have suggested that the rise of these “hyperpalatable foods” may partially explain the unprecedented rates of obesity. Dr. Pamela Peeke shares her wisdom, straight-to-the-point directness and powerful story to educate our audience on the compelling ‘how’. As in how did I suddenly find myself overweight, borderline diabetic, sluggish and clueless.

Basically what happened over the past 20 or thirty years!

Dr. Peeke’s trademarked ‘Mind, Mouth, Muscle’ blueprint, helps us understand ‘how’ addictive binges are the product of a mad scientist mixologist in a lab coat creating processed foods, and how those combinations of sugar-fat-salt trick our brain.

A dynamic, witty and caring author, speaker, physician and story teller, Dr. Pamela Peeke is a blast to talk to, you will not be disappointed in this one hour show.

Susan also keeps herself busy as a regular on another show– the Today Show on NBC.
