A Feast for the Senses with Jared Gleaton

Everyday Creation

Jared Gleaton is the author of “A Feast for the Senses: The Psychological Art of Eating Well.” He also hosts “Jared Gleaton Eats” on YouTube.
A school psychologist in Skiatook, Okla., Jared applies his professional expertise to writing about food and reviewing restaurants. One of his goals is to help people expand their palates to appreciate different kinds of dishes and preparations, and, in so doing, perhaps overcome biases in other aspects of their lives too.
In this interview, he shares his experiences with food growing up with his father, an unabashed "pie fiend." Jared didn't have his father's metabolism, though, and found himself gaining a lot of weight. He talks about how he lost the excess pounds eight years ago and has kept them off, and says he hopes that sharing his story will help others who also want to improve their relationship with food.
“A Feast for the Senses: The Psychological Art of Eating Well” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million. It comes in audio and ebook as well.
