Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this solo episode, I deep dive What Causes Cravings + How To Manage Them.

Cravings are something almost everyone struggles with, especially during fat loss phases so today I walk you through the three different types of hunger, how hormones like ghrelin and leptin play a role, and the biggest factors that increase cravings. We cover things like low protein intake, poor sleep, high stress load, inconsistent calorie intake, ultra-processed foods, meal timing, and even how dieting itself can increase cravings.

If cravings feel like they’re constantly derailing your progress, this episode will help you understand what’s actually driving them.

Let’s talk about:

  • Introduction
  • Why Cravings Are Individual
  • Cravings VS Hunger
  • 3 Types of Hunger
  • Drivers of Cravings
  • Fix the Inputs to Fix Cravings
