How To Rewire A Food-Addicted Brain with Dr. Claire Wilcox
In this awesome episode, Jess sits down with Dr. Claire Wilcox, psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Rewire Your Food-Addicted Brain, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in modern nutrition: food addiction. Together, they explore what happens in the brain when we crave, overeat, and struggle to stop—and how understanding the neuroscience behind those behaviors can lead to true healing.
Dr. Wilcox shares her expertise in addiction psychiatry, the science behind the Yale Food Addiction Scale, and her personal recovery journey from food obsession to food freedom. Jess and Dr. Wilcox also discuss the tension between diet culture and anti-diet movements, offering compassionate, evidence-based strategies for those seeking balance.
🧠 Key Topics Covered
What “food addiction” really means from a neuroscience and psychiatric perspective
Why sugar, fat, and salt ratios in processed foods make them so hard to resist
How the brain’s reward system reinforces craving and binge cycles
The difference between food addiction and eating disorders—and why nuance matters
How to use harm reduction and mindfulness in recovery instead of restriction
Dr. Wilcox’s personal story of healing and her path toward body acceptance
How to set recovery goals that focus on values and freedom, not weight loss
