Have you ever found yourself craving cheese a little too much? We all enjoy a good slice of pizza or grilled cheese, but for one NYU student, her cheese addiction spiraled out of control, leading to a $6,000 per week wellness retreat.
While most of us don’t consume five blocks of cheese a week, this story raises questions about when a craving crosses the line into an addiction. Hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters highlights that overindulging in anything, even something we enjoy, isn’t healthy.
So, how do you know if your cravings are a problem?
Dr. Cortina Peters suggests comparing your habits to those around you. If you’re consuming significantly more than others, it might be time to reevaluate your relationship with that particular food.
If you’re worried about your own cravings or someone else’s, it’s important to seek help. There are resources available to help you regain control and develop healthier habits.
