It weaves fascinating findings and evidence-based data into a narrative that tackles important questions, revealing how psychology, neurology, and physiology shape peoples’ relationship with food, and how food alters the relationship we have with ourselves and each other. More specifically you will discover how to:

  • Recommend foods that can act as “pain relievers.”
  • Advise parents how to help their children overcome neophobia and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorders (ARFID).
