Why is that? Are we making the conversation more complicated than it needs to be? Or are we overlooking some key factors that are contributing to our overfed yet undernourished society? On this episode of the Baby Steps Nutrition Podcast, Argavan speaks with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist and previously the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. He has been featured in many major news media outlets such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, ABC and CBC Radio. Argavan and Dr. Livingston talk about why traditional psychology fails to help individuals who are overweight and/or have an unhealthy relationship with food, how food and behavior are intertwined and the role that Big Food and Big Advertising industries play in our so-called obsession with food.
