David A. Kessler, M.D. , Author of the instant New York Times bestseller, “The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable
American Appetite” will present Food and the Brain.  "When we put food rich in sugar, fat, and salt in our mouths, we stimulate neurons.  Neurons are connected in circuits and  communicate with one another to create feelings, store information, and control behavior.”

If you’re struggling with your weight, or simply don’t understand why you can’t seem to stop eating your favorite foods, Dr. Kessler offers new insights and useful tools to help you find a solution. 

Dr. Kessler served as Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under president’s George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.  He reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry.
