How to Rewire Your Brain to Crave Healthy Foods

About this video

In this short clip, Huberman asks whether the system that drives food cravings can be recalibrated toward healthier foods. The guest explains that preferences show plasticity: people who consume a lot of sugar and then consume much less can find foods they once enjoyed too sweet. The guest argues that what people choose to eat repeatedly shapes what they come to want.

Key takeaways

• The guest explains that taste preferences can change after people reduce sugar intake.
• The guest describes food preference as plastic, shaped largely by what people choose to eat.
