Nicotine without the smoke. Food addiction without the diagnosis. On this episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony unpack what the research really shows when you separate nicotine from cigarettes and vaping, from sharper focus to appetite changes. Then they take on the science of food addiction, a brain hijack that in some cases can be even more powerful than drugs, and open the conversation for all of us to rethink what we thought we knew together.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for Fitness Stuff PREMIUM here!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ALL of our complete 12-week training programsBonus episodes every FridayJust $5 /month⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Legion Athletics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BOGO 50% off for your first order + 2X points on every order after thatuse code “FSPOD” at checkoutTimestamps:(6:39) Nicotine(26:00) Food Addiction

We all have our own "weird stuff" that we have to deal with on a daily basis. And that's super cool because that's what makes us human. Some people refuse to eat unless they have a knife, some people have a fear of looking into a mirror in a dark room, others avoid stepping on sidewalk cracks — all these quirks are common, and we all have them. So sometimes it's really fun to watch funny habits of the people around. These are some of such observations. Do you recognize yourself? Learn more about your ad choices.
