Jump to Event Details

Join the Caswell Diabetes Institute to learn about the complex relationship between food addiction, obesity, and underlying neurobiological mechanisms. We will explore the impact of dietary factors, dopamine signaling, and behavioral patterns on food addiction and obesity. This interactive program will dive into how highly processed foods are designed to trigger cravings, the psychological effects of targeted advertising, why certain groups may be more vulnerable to these influences, and the brain mechanisms that underlie the response to addictive foods.

For teens & adults.
