Exercise and brain effects for stress eating in veterans
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise may affect the brain pathways linked to stress-related eating in veterans who are overweight. If you join, you'll participate in an exercise program and have brain scans to see if it helps reduce stress eating.
