106. Categorical Self Binding For Weight Loss, Longevity, and Even Cancer Prevention
Today, Dr. Lisa explores categorical self binding, a strategy where you intentionally avoid entire categories of food (like sugary drinks or ultra-processed snacks) to support weight loss, metabolic health, and potentially even cancer prevention. Unlike relying on willpower, binding creates systems that make healthier choices easier and more automatic over time.
Dr. Lisa compares food addiction to substance addiction, highlighting that some of us may need firmer boundaries with hyperpalatable foods, not because there's something wrong with us, but because many foods have been engineered to hook us. While no foods are truly forbidden, experimenting with categorical binding can help reduce cravings and improve long-term habits—especially when done with flexibility and self-compassion.
