About the book
A book exploring the evolutionary mismatch between our ancient instincts and the modern food environment. It explains how highly palatable, calorie-dense foods hijack the brain's reward system, leading to overconsumption and chronic disease, and offers a psychological framework for adopting a healthier lifestyle.
