Background Dark kitchens – delivery-only food outlets operating through digital technology platforms – are a contemporary addition to the food environment. Some concerns have been raised the ability for local authorities to identify and regulate these businesses, with growing concern around the nutritional quality of foods, food safety practices an...

Self-regulation of eating behaviour refers to the ability to make healthy dietary choices, resist temptation and maintain a healthier diet over the longer term through monitoring, controlling and modifying thoughts, feeling and behaviour in response to food and related cues. Greater nutrition knowledge appears to be correlated with improved self-re...

Introduction: Overweight and obesity are a global health epidemic and many attempts have been made to address the rising prevalence. In March 2021 the UK government announced £100 million of additional funding for weight management provisions. Of this, £30.5 million was split across local authorities in England to support the expansion of tier two...

Previous work suggests there may be an effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on appetite control in people at risk of overconsumption, however findings are inconsistent. This study aimed to further understand the potential eating behaviour trait-dependent effect of tDCS, specifically in those with binge-type behaviour. Seventeen...

Across prior studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modulate eating behaviour there is heterogeneity in study design, tDCS parameters, and participant characteristics. This variation has led to equivocal findings. The present thesis considered the impact of this variation on eating-related outcomes (subjective appetite, foo...

Over, DM, Arjomandkhah, N, Beaumont, JD, Goodall, S, and Barwood, MJ. Skin application of menthol enhances maximal isometric lifting performance. J Strength Cond Res 37(3): 564–573, 2023—Topical application of menthol to the skin improves perception (i.e., makes subjects feel cooler) and changes submaximal neuromuscular recruitment facilitating for...

Objective: To consider the effect of differing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) parameters on eating-related measures, and how issues with experimental design (e.g., inadequate blinding) or parameters variation may drive equivocal effects. Methods: Literature searches were conducted across MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Science Dir...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is becoming an increasingly popular technique for altering eating behaviors. Recent research suggests a possible eating behavior trait-dependent effect of tDCS. However, studies recruit participant populations with heterogeneous trait characteristics, including “healthy” individuals who do not present...

The ability to control hedonic appetite is associated with executive functioning, originating in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). These rewarding components of food can override homeostatic mechanisms, potentiating obesogenic behaviours. Indeed, those susceptible to overconsumption appear to have PFC hypo-activation. Transcranial direct current stimula...

The effects of probiotic supplementation on emotional memory and pain response - Volume 76 Issue OCE1 - E.A. Noorwali, J.D. Beaumont, B.M. Corfe, L. Owen

Poster presentation from the joint Nutrition Society and Royal Society of Medicine winter conference (2016). This study assessed the effects of six-week probiotic administration on emotional memory, anxiety, acute peripheral pain response, and immune response in a healthy cohort.
