Description

If someone in a lab coat told you to hurt a stranger, would you do it? Most people say no. But history says otherwise. If you ever wanted to go down the rabbit hole of how diet culture uses the Milgram experiment from the 1960's to control and dare I say… brainwash women, we are going there today and then some.  Your midlife comeback begins right now.

Together, we will unpack:

  • Why the shocking 1961 Milgram Experiment still controls your eating habits today.
  • The chilling psychology that’s silently wrecking your health.
  • The connection between CIA mind control programs, societal obedience, and emotional eating.
  • How fear, obedience, and authority quietly manipulate your food choices, and what to do about it.
  • What the pandemic taught us about blind compliance (and how it still shows up on your dinner plate).
  • The biggest consequence from the pandemic that we have yet to recover from.
  • How diet culture uses psychological warfare to make you distrust your own body.
