    Wow, that is super interesting. I am always been an emotional eater ( brain type 4) and when things in my life are good, I have no problem with food, or overeating. However when bad things happen, I always lose control and calm myself with food. It is super interesting that the study suggested DHEA for such people. My endocrinologist just prescribe me DHEA, and I was worried how it may effect my weight loss. I guess it may even help it. YAY!

    This is so me

    Brain Type 3: Impulsive-Compulsive Overeater. While this may seem contradictory, it is possible to be both at the same time. Compulsive gamblers, for example, are compelled to gamble and have little control over their impulses. Scans show too much activity in the “gear shifter,” so people overthink and get stuck on negative thoughts. They also have too little activity in the prefrontal cortex and therefore have trouble supervising their own behavior. Impulsive-compulsive overeaters benefit from treatments that increase serotonin and dopamine levels; for example, exercise plus a combination of supplements such as 5-HTP, green tea and rhodiola.
