In a past episode, we explored how biology drives behavior, helping to remove shame and guilt around food struggles. But today, we’re asking—how much of our ability to choose is actually within our control? Drawing from neuroscience, we’ll discuss how experiences and choices shape the brain over time, from studies on compassion training to the brain changes of musicians and even genetically identical mice who become unique based on their environments.

We'll also dive into the idea of selective susceptibility—how different people need different environments to support their best choices. Do you need to keep certain foods out of the house, or would having them around help you feel less controlled by them? You get to decide.
