The Psychology of How Food Insecurity Changes Eating Behavior

Welcome back to another episode after a while, and I promise we are hitting the ground running!! Today, I am speaking with Dr. Lauren Hofschneider, who is actually my health psychology professor at UCLA. She takes a psychophysiological perspective in her research to investigate how factors, such as stress, subjective social status, and perceptions of scarcity, shape food choice overall. In this episode, we cover the psychological basis of eating behaviors, as Dr. Hofschneider connects what she has uncovered about food scarcity to dieting behaviors. Get ready for an incredible episode!
