Podcasts about why you eat what you eat

Sharon Van Etten is on the road now touring her seventh album, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory. But as much as she loves writing and performing music, she has considered a couple different career paths: therapist and sommelier! Sharon’s love of wine started in high school, when she was an exchange student living with a family in Spain. So host Rachel Belle interviews the founders of Open That Bottle Night, a couple of former Wall Street Journal wine writers who created an annual holiday to encourage people to open the special bottles of wine that no occasion seemed to be special enough for. Sharon says she doesn’t like to cook when she’s in a bad mood because the food always ends up tasting bad. Rachel calls up cognitive neurologist Dr Rachel Herz, author of Why You Eat What You Eat, who says food actually does taste different when you’re sad, angry, depressed or happy.

Today's theme is smell: how it works in the nose, the mind, and how much is still unknown about the fifth sense.Question 1: Does it gross you out to know that every time you smell something, a little bit of that thing… is in your nose? What happens to the molecules we smell?Question 2: Why do smells have such a powerful connection to memory?Question 3: How do pheromones work in humans?

Forget what you learned in elementary school about the five senses. Scent, the often-overlooked sense, isn't just an afterthought; it's the unsung hero intricately tied to every facet of our existence. Our sense of smell is not only responsible for triggering cherished memories, but also holds keys to our well-being, the pleasures of taste, the promise of longevity and even the art of seduction.   Whitney's guest today is neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Herz, a world-leading expert on the psychological science of smell. She's been actively conducting research and teaching on the senses, emotion, perception, motivated behavior and cognition since 1990. Dr. Herz is a TED speaker and published author, including her most recent book: Why You Eat What You Eat.   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode The surprising truth that the connection between smell and memory is primarily emotional. Scents provide a more emotionally intense and rich memory. Your sense of smell is involved in every aspect of your life. How you can purposely create a scent memory. Want to be healthier in terms of your diet? Smelling a scent connected to healthy food is going to remind you of those intentions. Link between taste and smell. Discover the link between the sense of smell and life longevity Exercise your nose? Yep! Learn how. What can women be asking themselves more? When you come across a scent that you really react to positively or negatively, question why you have that response. Why do you love/hate it? Is it connected with a memory from your life?   Dr. Herz and I would love to know what you connected with from today's episode - share a scent memory with us or an a-ha you took away.

Among the needs all 7 billion of us on the planet have in common is our need to eat. Food allows us to survive, thrive, and it can bring immense pleasure. However, how things taste and what we like is unique to us all. But despite our uniqueness, there are certain trends. For example, we order tomato juice on airplanes at a far greater frequency than we do on land. Why is that? And have you ever noticed you can have an entirely different experience of taste depending on how a food or drink is presented, where they're consumed, the type of music that's playing in the background, and even based upon the color of the plate it's served on? These will all be addressed on this episode. Dr. Rachel Herz (https//www.rachelherz.com) is a neuroscientist, a professor at Brown University, and a world-leading expert on the psychological science of smell. She is the author of several books including one on smell called, The Scent of Desire. Another book of hers called That's Disgusting, and it takes a scientific look at repulsion. Her most recent book explores the science behind our relationship with food and is called, Why You Eat What You Eat. I loved the book and couldn't stop smiling as I devoured the audio version. And I am not alone—it was listed among the “Best Food Books of 2018” by The Smithsonian and The New Yorker and has been praised high and low by the press and thought leaders. So, join Rachel and me as we explore a journey of the senses and Why You Eat What You Eat!

Does the health & wellness industry make you feel guilty or undisciplined for eating sweet or fatty foods? If so, you may have found yourself wondering why we eat the foods we eat, and why it's so difficult to resist temptation. Turns out there's more to our dietary choices than taste. This is a fascinating topic that Dr. Rachel Herz has studied in depth. Rachel is a neuroscientist and one of the world's foremost experts on the psychology of the sense of smell. She is a TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, professional consultant, professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, and faculty member in the Food Studies program and Brown University, and a part-time faculty member in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. She has spent over 30 years researching and writing about the perception, emotion, behavior, and cognition surrounding smell, taste, food, and flavor. She is also the author of several books, including “Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food”. In this episode, we discuss: ·      The connection between our psychology and our eating habits·      The role of evolutionary biology in our attraction to high-calorie foods·      How big food marketing tricks you into making dietary choices that undermine your health·      Why our mindset around what we eat is more important than what we consume·      How moral superiority around food choice can undermine your progress·      Actionable techniques to sustainably improve our relationship with food ·      How the loss of smell can negatively impact food choices·      How to train our sense of smell Connect with Rachel:Book: https://amzn.to/3BxFfm3 Website: https://rachelherz.com/ Twitter: @Rachel_HerzLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelherz/ TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmGLsMER58g Connect with Me:Website: https://ahmednayel.com/ Instagram: @the.ahmed.nayelTwitter: @theahmednayelYouTube References:·      Milkshake Study·      Loyola StudyReminder: Listening is great, but don't forget to apply what you learned in your life.Thank you for tuning in!

Intermittent fasting has been on the periphery of my attention as something getting buzz in the broader world of food and food marketing. In fact, intermittent fasting is among the most popular weight loss strategies as we roll through 2020. According to an annual survey by the International Food Information Council, about 10% of Americans tried intermittent fasting in 2019, second only to “Clean Eating.”An app promoting intermittent fasting - DoFasting - broke through the onslaught of January diet marketing for me because fasting brings back poignant memories. Not because I’ve fasted to lose weight, but because fasting was an annual event in my family growing up. Breaking the fast is what I remember most and best. Food never tasted so good! And not just any food. Special food that did more than replenish your energy. A hearty, nourishing soup called harira (I give you my vegan version of it in this episode), figs, dates, eggs, and a special Moroccan sweet treat called chebakia.This wave of interest in fasting got me wanting to revisit my experiences to better understand the potential of fasting, especially as something more than a way to lose weight. From my limited experience it seems like fasting can heighten the pleasure of eating and offer emotional, even spiritual rewards if it’s part of an overall approach to eating.In this episode I talk to Liliya, who recently started a fasting Meetup group, about her experience and why she's a big proponent of IF. I also speak with Dr. Rachel Herz, a neuroscientist who specializes in perception and emotion, and author of "Why You Eat What You Eat." She tells me about some of the latest research into the health benefits of intermittent fasting related to managing insulin. Dr. Herz also talks about how we experience food after not eating for a long time, and speculates on the potential emotional benefits we derive from breaking the fast. Martina observes a vegan fast for weeks at a time, in addition to periodic 18-24 hour fasts. She describes the spiritual rewards of fasting.Then we talk about food to break the fast with. Mehdi Menouar, owner of Meska Sweets, a Moroccan bakery/patisserie in Englewood, NJ, talks about his Moroccan Macaron and elaborates on chebakia, the heavenly cookie/pastry that is one of my favorite things in Moroccan cuisine, and a staple during the fasting month of Ramadan.

Brian chats with Rachel Herz, author of “Why You Eat What You Eat“, to talk about the human relationship with food, specifically our sensory, psychological, and neuro-scientific factors that influence our eating habits.

Food lover and acclaimed neuroscientist Rachel Herz joins the party with news you can use from her excellent book, Why You Eat What You Eat. Dr. Herz is famous for explaining in simple language how the brain works in relation to food. She’ll explain how a favorite scent can distract you from cravings, why diet fads should be taken with a grain of salt, and what physiological and psychological components contribute to the feeling of fullness after a meal. Our eating habits are evolutionary! (That’s why we can’t eat if someone is staring at us). There are plenty of fun facts too. We’re spending the whole hour with Dr. Herz and offering up her book as our thank you gift for supporting The Faith Middleton Food Schmooze and everything you hear on Connecticut Public Radio.
