Drinking More Water Helps You Feel Full

Gabriel Villarreal comes back on the podcast this week. Gabriel is a resident in counseling and soon to be a licensed practicing counselor. He owns a part-time practice in ADHD counseling in Roanoke Valley, where he helps children and adults manager and master their ADHD superpowers. Additionally, he owns Lost Boys Strength and Conditioning and is the host of Informed Consent, a weekly podcast supporting incoming clinicians in the mental health field. On this episode, you will hear Gabriel, and I discuss diet and exercise. While we like to stay rooted in science on this podcast, the science in these areas is emerging. However, Gabriel shares information on where science is taking us on these topics, and he shares the knowledge he has gained from his experience.
