291 Our Brain Has 2 Jobs

Dr Mary and Dr Lucy lift the lid on your brain and reveal why you keep doing the things you don't want to do, like eating when stressed, lonely, angry or bored. You'll learn the two main jobs your brain has, why it clings to safety and quick rewards, and how this secretly sabotages your metabolic health and weight loss. They share simple tools like the SLAB acronym and tiny doable steps, plus powerful mindset strategies used in therapy, so you can soothe emotions without food and finally make changes that last. If you "know what to do" but still don't do it, this episode will help you work with your beautiful brain, not against it. We're excited to share that a brand-new program is launching in February 2026. It's your complete MAP to metabolic health — and you can join the waitlist now. ➡️ For more information about Real Life Medicine and our programs and special offers: Episode, show notes & transcript
