Food Addiction and Recovery, The Full Story (in just over one hour) Vera Tarman MD, 2024

Are sugar and processed foods basically drug foods? Here is a full lecture that I give my clients in various treatment centers on why I believe this to be true. It covers the biology of food addiction—the hormonal and neuro-chemical drives to overeat - how this process is the same as any other addiction. If you want to learn more, we have an excellent Adapt Your Life Sugar and Food Addiction course (16 modules, pdfs etc) for a small fee.
