In this episode, we delve into the latest research on Binge Eating Disorder (BED), exploring its most common causes and effective treatments.

Recent studies new findings show BED's connection to brain activity and reduced impulse control. Research also demonstrates the roles of systemic inflammation and the gut-brain axis in BED. You will also hear us share about the significance of interoceptive awareness, and the strong correlation between ADHD and binge eating.
