Host Elle Russ sits down with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist and long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's)  previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page.  You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

How can we embrace adventure as a Primal force in our lives to enrich us, to move us forward, and to expand our sense of what’s possible?

Let’s look at a few prospects rapid-fire style. And I hope you’ll add your own to augment this list. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)

Everyone knows it’s really hard, bordering on impossible, to out exercise a bad diet. You might be able to out exercise a bad diet if all you care about is abs and race times and make it your job, but eventually your poor health will catch up with you. That doesn’t mean exercise doesn’t matter for weight loss, though. It does. (This Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Leaman)
