Doctors and scientists are increasingly seeing obesity as a complex disease that needs to be treated as such.

Today, we talk about the psychology of obesity, and emotional eating. We learn about binge eating disorder and how stress and trauma can impact our metabolism and how we eat.

We hear from Dr. Sherry Pagato, Licensed clinical psychologist and professor at University of Connecticut. She researches weight management.
