Your Brain – On Diets

Scott Moseman 

The Medical Director of the Laureate Eating Disorders Program in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Learning through the Laureate Institute for Brain Research that we professionals are working with brains that constantly need to be rewarded.   

Listen in for the discussion between Dr. Voss and Dr. Moseman about how they define recovery,  including setting weight goals.  What is the brain’s definition of recovery?  

How does communication happen between the brain and the gut? GI-based anxiety for kids affects the ability to eat and grow to potential. “Who wants to eat when their stomach hurts”?  

And you’re hearing it again about the trabecular bone scan to help inform our assessments of bone health (see Dr. Mehler’s episodes). 

Finally, learn by being with people, get a group that meets regularly – journal club, peer case consultation.  "Clinical supervision is hugely more important than reading books."
