- Reviews

This interdisciplinary course explores the intricate relationship between the brain, behavior, and body weight, drawing upon cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics. Rather than focusing on restrictive dieting or fleeting willpower, we delve into the neural mechanisms governing hunger, cravings, and self-regulation.
Topics include the neurobiology of eating behaviors, the role of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin in food choices, and the gut-brain axis in metabolic regulation. We will examine how neuroplasticity allows for the reprogramming of habits, utilizing cognitive behavioral strategies (CBT), mindfulness, and visualization techniques to foster long-term change.
Additionally, we will discuss the profound influence of sleep, stress, and neurochemical modulation on weight management. Students will gain practical insights into the cognitive benefits of intermittent fasting, the neurological impact of movement, and the emerging field of biohacking for enhanced self-control.
By the course’s conclusion, participants will have a scientifically grounded framework for leveraging their brain’s full potential in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight—without succumbing to the pitfalls of conventional dieting.
