Sandra Aamodt: Pourquoi les régimes ne fonctionnent pas en général

Aux États-Unis, 80% des filles de l'âge de 10 ans ont suivi un régime. Cette constatation et son expérience personnelle ont poussé Sandra Aamodt, neurobiologiste, à étudier comment notre cerveau gère notre poids. Sur un ton franc et honnête, elle nous explique scientifiquement pourquoi les régimes ne fonctionnent pas et font en fait plus de mal que de bien, puis propose une approche plus intuitive de la nourriture, pour vivre sans être obsédé par les régimes.

Speakers Sandra Aamodt: Neuroscientist and science writer

Sandra Aamodt
Sandra Aamodt explores the neuroscience of everyday life, examining new research and its impact on our understanding of ourselves.

Why you should listen to her:

Sandra Aamodt is a neuroscientist and science writer, who takes the complexities of neuroscience research and whips them into fun reads that give people a better understanding of their minds and behavior. Her books Welcome to Your Brain and Welcome to Your Child's Brain (both written with Sam Wang) are designed to bring neuroscience to a general audience, and they've both been widely translated. Aamodt's science writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, El Mundo and the Times of London.
From 2003 to 2008, Aamodt was the editor-in-chief of Nature Neuroscience, a leading scientific journal in the field of brain research. She brings a significant scientific background to the task of explaining new research without creating neurobunk. During her career, she has read over five thousand neuroscience papers, and written many editorials on science policy.
"If the human brain came with an owner's manual, it might well look like this."
