Stress eating is a conglomeration of biological and psychological influences. Altered hormones, neurotransmitters, and learned behavior all play a role in seeking comfort in food. This lecture will break apart the underlying physiological changes and psychological triggers that stress can cause that may result in grabbing a pint of ice cream or ordering take out instead of eating the vegetables in the fridge.
