Why do we keep eating foods we know are bad for us? In this powerful episode, #154 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Head Trainer Ben Sterling to unpack this deeply human struggle — and share the science and strategies behind breaking food addiction for good.Ben opens up about his personal journey from pizza-fueled college nights to becoming a model of discipline and health. Together they explore why willpower alone isn't enough, and how understanding brain chemistry — specifically dopamine loops, habit cues, and emotional triggers — is the key to reclaiming control. The conversation blends cutting-edge neuroscience with hard-earned wisdom, offering listeners a toolkit to stop compulsive eating and feed the “good wolf” instead.You'll learn how small, daily decisions either reinforce or break addictive patterns, why delayed gratification is a key to long-term success, and how food cravings are often just symptoms of deeper emotional needs. They also share practical strategies, from environmental design and mindful “urge surfing,” to movement-based interruptions and healthy substitutions that satisfy without sabotaging.If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?” — this conversation is your wake-up call. It's raw, relatable, and deeply empowering. Whether you're trying to avoid late-night snacks, ditch sugar, or stop eating when stressed, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to finally take back control.Key TakeawaysDopamine-driven cravings start with a cue, not just hunger“Feeding the wolf” reinforces brain wiring for impulsivityStress and fatigue weaken the brain's impulse control (prefrontal cortex)Long-term health is built by winning small daily decisionsWillpower is like a muscle — use it wisely, but don't rely on it aloneSubstitutions (e.g., lettuce-wrapped burgers) can satisfy without derailing progress“Urge surfing” helps ride out cravings with mindfulness, not resistanceEvening walks can replace post-dinner dessert habitsProximity = temptation — keep junk food out of the housePainful post-binge consequences can be powerful learning toolsRewiring patterns means identifying your biggest triggers and replacing routinesAddictions (food, shopping, etc.) often stem from the same neural loopsCravings peak and then pass — delay action and you weaken themHealth is freedom — from disease and from compulsive patternsDiscipline becomes easier when your environment supports itJust Thrive!Website: https://justthrivehealth.com/Use promo code: FITFAMILY and save 20% on your first 90-day bottle of Just Thrive Probiotics.Try Out Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil ClubGo to http://go.getfreshfitfather.com to enroll in the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, pay just $1 to help cover shipping costs, and receive a complimentary full-size bottle ($39 value) of one of the greatest olive oils T.J. has ever discovered.

In this profound conversation, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi welcomes attachment specialist Adam Lane Smith to unpack how our early childhood experiences wire our nervous systems—and how that wiring can shape everything from our health to our marriages. Adam explains the science and psychology of attachment theory, revealing why so many high-achieving parents silently suffer from emotional disconnection, loneliness, and self-sabotaging health behaviors.Listeners will learn about the three main insecure attachment styles—avoidant, anxious, and mixed—and how they show up in relationships, parenting, and health choices. Adam provides a visceral, relatable description of how these patterns develop, the havoc they can wreak, and how they can be completely healed through conscious effort, safe relationships, and nervous system regulation.But this episode isn't just theoretical. Dr. Balduzzi and Adam dive deep into the practical side: how women can build secure attachment through small, consistent steps, how fitness plays a critical role in rewiring the brain for connection, and how parents can start creating transformational moments with their kids—without needing to be perfect.This episode will resonate with anyone who's ever felt disconnected despite doing everything “right.” It's a wake-up call for high performers, a roadmap for parents, and a love letter to those willing to do the inner work. Don't miss the insights that could quite literally transform your relationships—and your life.Key Takeaways:Early trauma wires nervous system dysfunctionAvoidant = survival mode, overwork, disconnectedAnxious = approval seeking, learned helplessnessSecure = calm, connected, honest communicationAttachment issues crush hormone balanceMost divorces = anxious woman + avoidant manHigh performers often hide deep lonelinessNervous system dysregulation blocks oxytocinHealing begins with awareness and self-reflectionFixing attachment transforms your physiologyParents must become self-correcting, not perfectFitness supports nervous system healingKids model what they see, not what you sayTransparency + feedback = secure relationshipsYour health habits are also love habitsLearn More about Adam Lane Smith:Website: https://adamlanesmith.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/attachmentadam/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBO093GsMmnA9tb8lZPhbggX: https://x.com/adamlanesmithTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@attachmentbro?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AdamLaneSmith/Podcast: I Wish You Knew Podcast https://iwishyouknew.show/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@attachmentadamBiographical Information on Adam Lane Smith:Adam Lane Smith, MA Psych, is recognized globally for his groundbreaking work in applied attachment psychology.

In another powerful episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Episode 151, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi welcomes Ben Azadi—bestselling author, metabolic health expert, and founder of Keto Kamp—for a deep dive into the root causes of poor metabolic health and what it truly takes to reclaim your body, mind, and vitality. Ben shares his personal transformation story, going from suicidal, overweight, and inflamed at 250 lbs to thriving in his 40s—lean, healthy, and purposeful. His journey started with ownership and mindset shifts, and evolved into a life's mission of helping others achieve “metabolic freedom.”The conversation goes far beyond keto buzzwords. Ben outlines how environmental toxins, not just calories, are driving fat gain and chronic disease, with shocking data about "obesogens" and "diabetogens" found in food, water, and even household items. He also challenges conventional calorie-focused models of weight loss and reveals how addressing hormones and inflammation is the real path to transformation.Ben unpacks his strategic use of ketosis—not as a lifelong diet, but as a metabolic tool—alongside the power of fasting, carnivore resets, and metabolic flexibility. His 6-day carnivore + 1-day carb refeed approach gives listeners a fresh model of how to eat and train for longevity and leanness.Finally, the conversation takes a powerful turn into mindset. Ben's favorite “supplement”? Vitamin G—gratitude. He explains how thoughts shape biology, citing the placebo effect, stress hormones, and genetic expression. He leaves listeners with a compelling call to master their thinking to master their health.Key Takeaways:Weight gain is a symptom of deeper dysfunctionHidden toxins (obesogens, diabetogens) drive fat storageHormones and inflammation matter more than caloriesKeto used as a strategic metabolic tool, not lifelong dietFasting insulin is the best marker for metabolic healthCarnivore diet works well as a short-term gut resetWeekly protocol: 6 days carnivore, 1 day carb refeedPlastics and household toxins disrupt hormones and metabolismMuscle mass is the #1 driver of metabolic efficiency after 60Vitamin G = gratitude, the most underrated anti-inflammatoryYour thoughts can literally turn genes on or offRewiring your mindset is like strength training for the brainTrue metabolic freedom comes from healing root causesLearn More about Ben Azadi:Website: www.benazadi.comNew Book: Metabolic Freedom is set to release on May 13, 2025Go to www.metabolicfreedombook.comPreorder Ben's book before May 13th or order after its release and get his Metabolic Freedom course and exclusive interviews for FREE!
