Grabbing a bitterbal even when you’re not hungry. Or having a slice of cake and regretting it afterwards. At times it feels as if your belly takes over from your brain. But perhaps the two are far more closely connected than we tend to think.
How does what you eat influence how you think – and vice versa? What role do willpower and habits play in our food choices? And are we truly responsible for everything we eat?
Come listen to neuroscientist Esther Aarts and philosopher Bas van Woerkum‑Rooker and learn more about the connection between your brain and your belly.
