Guest: Dr. Vera Tarman, MD
Epic.
That’s the word my audio guy used to describe this week’s interview with Dr. Vera Tarman, author of Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction.
My assistant Katey said she listened to it FOUR times and that it was one of the Top 5 interviews ever on UW Radio.
And me?
Well, I think we saved the very best show of 2014 for last. Dr. Tarman’s personal story is one you’ll never forget!
Here’s what you’ll learn…
2:50 - Dr. Tarman’s personal story of food, drug and alcohol addictions and hitting rock bottom.
17:58 - What food addiction really looks like.
19:53 - The science and reality behind food addiction.
22:34 - The addiction continuum and why food addiction is so hard to diagnose.
26:48 - Food addiction vs. addictive food. Does dieting = food addiction?
28:45 - The emotional side of food addiction and eating disorders.
31:30 - The brain of a food addict.
36:41 - Antidepressants, neurotransmitters and your brain.
39:00 - Insights into the food industry, the “bliss spot” and why you don’t know about any of it.
40:46 - Dr. Tarman’s thoughts on trigger foods and food addiction programs.
47:58 - Ideas and resources about elimination, treatment, substitution and individualized healing.
