SHOW NOTES:

1. Understanding Emotional Eating: Stress-Induced Eating Habits

   • The role of chronic stress in influencing food intake and weight is linked to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis's activation, leading to cortisol secretion and increased appetite for palatable foods.^1

2. The Paradox of Stress and Appetite

   • During acute stress, appetite suppression is common. However, in individuals who are overweight or obese, resistance to insulin and possibly leptin may contribute to disrupted hunger/satiety signaling.^1

3. Dopamine, Not Sugar: The Real Addiction

   • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is often associated with alterations in the neurotransmitter system, including dopamine (DA), which plays a significant role in food intake regulation.^1
   • Leptin receptor expression in areas controlling mood and emotion, such as the hippocampus, cortex, and amygdala, is significant. Stress increases cortisol, which in turn affects leptin levels.^2
   • High leptin levels linked with obesity are thought to be caused by leptin resistance. In contrast, dopamine levels are inversely related to blood glucose levels.^4
