‘Food became a lot more than just food for me. It became my… the word ‘friend' comes to mind. It became the thing that was there when I was in a lonely space or if I was in a vulnerable space. I never knew (and as you know with the work that we've done) it's… Continue reading SLP 492: Fitness, Food Addiction and Freedom with Julia Allison The post SLP 492: Fitness, Food Addiction and Freedom with Julia Allison appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

America's obesity epidemic isn't an accident - it's a carefully orchestrated assault on your health designed to create lifelong customers for Big Food, Big Pharma, and the medical industrial complex. In this explosive investigation, we expose the shocking truth behind why two-thirds of Americans are now overweight or obese, and it has nothing to do with willpower or personal responsibility. This is biological warfare disguised as food, and you're the target.Prepare to be outraged as we reveal how food scientists have weaponized addiction by engineering hyper-palatable processed foods that hijack your brain's reward system more powerfully than cocaine. We'll expose the secret laboratory studies that proved these foods cause obesity, diabetes, and heart disease - studies that were buried by corporate executives who knew exactly what they were doing to the American people. From high fructose corn syrup that triggers unstoppable hunger to artificial additives that disrupt your hormones, from marketing campaigns that target children's developing brains to government nutrition guidelines written by food industry lobbyists - this is systematic poisoning for profit.But the conspiracy goes deeper than you could ever imagine. We'll reveal how pharmaceutical companies deliberately created the obesity crisis to sell you diabetes drugs, weight loss medications, and surgical procedures worth hundreds of billions annually. The same corporations making you fat are selling you the "cures" - and none of them actually work because that would destroy their business model. We'll expose the suppressed research on what really causes weight gain, the natural solutions they've criminalized, and the doctors who've been silenced for telling patients the truth.They don't want you thin, healthy, and energetic - they want you sick, dependent, and profitable. Your obesity isn't your fault - it's their business plan.

Food addiction isn't about willpower.It's about biology.This week's guest, Dr. David A. Kessler, pulls back the curtain on GLP-1 drugs, the medications everyone's talking about but few truly understand. As a former FDA Commissioner, bestselling author of Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, and someone who has personally used Ozempic, Dr. David reveals what pharmaceutical companies aren't telling you about how they actually work.David shares his own journey with GLP-1 medications, the science behind why they're so effective, and the critical conversations we're not having about safety, proper use, and what happens when you stop taking them.Through science, candor, and vulnerability, he explains:Why food addiction is real, and how it rewires the reward circuits of the brainHow GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are changing the conversation about obesity and self-blameWhy “just eat less” doesn't work… and never didHow visceral fat creates an invisible storm of inflammation, starting in childhoodAnd what it means to actually change your relationship with food for goodDr Kessler doesn't offer a magic solution. He offers tools: from nutritional rewiring to behavioral insight, from emotional honesty to policy change.Ultimately, he reminds us that health isn't about being perfect. It's about understanding what drives us, learning how to interrupt the cycle, and reclaiming agency in a world designed to overwhelm it.Real healing isn't about restriction. It's about relief.It's not about weight. It's about freedom.Love,Sarah Ann

Guests Amanda Leith  SHiFT, Recovery By Acorn and Esther Helga Guðmundsdóttir, INFACT School both experienced the misery of obesity and countless failed diets—until they discovered their real problem: food addiction, a brain disease. Like many late-stage food addicts, they used food to cope with life, consuming far more food than their bodies needed. Once they recognized their addiction, they began abstinent food plans and recovery programs, shedding excess weight and doing the emotional work required to heal. Today, they live at healthy body weights and enjoy freedom from food addiction—one day at a time. Today, they devote their lives to helping others understand and recover from this illness.Food addiction is a substance use disorder involving ultra-processed foods, similar to alcohol or drug addiction. Amanda and Esther assess clients using food use history and tools like the Yale Food Addiction Scale. Sugar—technically not a food but an additive—has over 260 names and is often hidden in products through deceptive labeling by food companies.Many of their clients have tried everything to control their food use and/or lose weight, often arriving desperate and willing to try something new. At SHiFT, Amanda guides clients toward abstinence from addictive foods while addressing the emotional drivers behind food use. As cravings and withdrawal pass, clients gain relief from the addiction and obsessive food thoughts and learn to enjoy eating whole, nourishing foods.Unlike drug or alcohol addiction, we cannot abstain from food entirely, which makes food addiction more complex. Yet the solution lies in abstaining from addictive foods and engaging in emotional recovery work.Phil Werdell, website, a pioneer in the field, greatly influenced Amanda and Esther. His teachings on powerlessness and denial are foundational to their treatment approach, and they credit him for shaping their understanding and protocols.Amanda explains the difference between emotional eating and true food addiction in this episode. While emotional eaters may recover through therapy alone, food addicts must first remove addictive substances and engage in structured recovery with support. At SHiFT, Recovery By Acorn, food and emotional issues are treated concurrently.With chronic disease and metabolic dysfunction at crisis levels—primarily driven by poor nutrition, food addiction, and obesity—Esther Helga argues that food companies knowingly exploit this addiction for profit.The International Food Addiction Conference will hold its second event in London, September 4–5, 2025, highlighting food addiction and its comorbidities. At the 2024 London conference, an influential group of professionals reached a Consensus:   Ultra-Processed Food is a Substance Use Disorder.   Advocacy continues to classify food addiction within the ICD (World Health Organization) and the DSM (American Psychiatric Association), paving the way for insurance coverage of treatment.Don't miss this powerful episode as we explore food addiction—its root causes, and the hope of recovery.

Have you ever felt addicted to ultra-processed foods---like you knew they were bad for you, but you couldn't stop indulging? This happened to our guest today who at age 15 weighed over 300 lbs. And she didn't know who she was anymore. Today, Penelope Popken is 19 and she's overcome her addictive behavior. During this revealing interview, mother and daughter discuss what led to Penelope's struggles with weight, the drugs she took, the (mostly unhelpful) therapists' recommendations and more. They go over how most weight loss drugs (including Ozempic) and other quick fixes (like gastric bypass surgeries) have dire consequences. And they cover what it took to turn things around for Penelope. By the way, her healing path included not just returning to real nourishing food but addressing dysfunctional family patterns that contributed to unhealthy behavior. Since both Helene and Penelope have had to overcome their individual struggles with unhealthy eating and obesity, they have started the Step it UP program to help other women in just their position. After failed attempts at diets, injections, and pills, they are on a mission to help everyone learn how to nourish themselves more deeply and to thrive.   Visit Helene and Penelope's websites: Step it UP and Step It UP Accountability Group Register for the Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Alive Waters

In this insightful and compassionate episode, Clarissa and Molly take a deep dive into post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS)—an often overlooked but critical phase in ultra-processed food addiction recovery. While well-known in substance use disorder recovery, PAWS is rarely discussed in the context of food addiction, yet it shows up in significant ways. Clarissa and Molly break down what PAWS is, why it happens, and how it can show up months or even years into recovery. They share real client experiences, neurobiological explanations, and clinical insights—plus, they normalize what can feel like a confusing and distressing time.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the Food Junkies Recovery Stories CJ sits down with Joy M, who shares her courageous story of unraveling the illusion of the “perfect life” to find true recovery and emotional freedom. From childhood trauma and food obsession to substance use, codependency, and the sneaky nature of sugar addiction, Joy takes us through the winding—and at times wild—path she walked to reclaim her health and voice. Tune in to hear how one Easter basket sparked a lifetime pattern, how trauma flipped the switch, and how Joy finally broke free through community, curiosity, and a whole lot of compassion. Her story is a beautiful reminder that it's never too late to begin again—and that healing is possible, one real food choice at a time. Warning: You may leave this episode feeling inspired, understood, and ready to toss those “dang nuts.” Feel free to join our supportive community on Facebook: Sugar-Free for Life Support Group - where we believe "I'm Sweet Enough."

Understanding Food Addiction is today's topic, an interesting concept brought forth a few weeks ago in my interview with specialist Jane Pilger entitled Seeking Peace with Food Episode 31.  Even if you haven't listened to that discussion, you'll find this episode extremely informative. First of all…. Food addiction is a complex behavioral condition characterized by an obsessive and compulsive relationship with food, often leading to negative consequences for one's physical and psychological well-being. Unlike regular overeating or enjoying food, food addiction often involves a pattern of binge eating, intense cravings, and a lack of control over food intake, despite the adverse outcomes. Researchers have begun to explore the neurological, psychological, and environmental factors that contribute to food addiction, and several potential cures or treatments are being investigated. This session delves into the concept of food addiction, presents research and case studies that shed light on its causes, and discusses possible treatments. Support the showFull Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.comPhoto credit: Rebecca Lange Photography Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons) Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Childhood obesity is more than calories and exercise—it's a biological, hormonal, and psychological issue that can follow children into adulthood, impacting their health status for decades to follow, as well as potentially detracting from their overall quality of life - forever. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Health Coach, reveals why early intervention is essential.

Most importantly, Jamie empowers parents with practical, realistic steps to help their families break the generational cycle of obesity.

In this podcast, we explore the growing health movement and the urgent need to reform our food systems. As a long-time advocate for ancestral health, we discuss the concerning influence of corporate interests and flawed medical narratives.We delve into the dangers of seed oils, which disrupt cellular function and mitochondrial health, causing metabolic issues. I share a strategy for detoxing seed oils quickly using a low linoleic acid diet. We also emphasize the importance of natural light, grounding, and ancestral practices, aligning with our evolutionary biology for optimal health.I share my 2025 "ins and outs," prioritizing real foods like meat, organs, fruit, honey, and raw dairy while minimizing EMF exposure. I advocate for whole, unprocessed foods and caution against trends like methylene blue. For me, it's always meat, organs, fruit, honey, and raw dairy – an ANIMAL-BASED diet, which I believe is optimal.This inspiring conversation encourages personal responsibility, questioning norms, and reclaiming our radical health.--- --- ---00:00 Introduction to Reposted Podcast00:30 Seed Oil Detox & 2025 Changes01:07 Dr. Saladino on Cultural Health Movement01:38 2025 Health Predictions03:55 Political Momentum for Health Change06:37 Simplifying Food Choices & Ingredients10:54 Food Addiction & Processed Foods13:33 Food as Fuel vs. Harmful Addiction17:41 Discerning Food from Poison21:49 Misalignment of Genetics & Modern Food23:55 Challenging Beliefs & Neurobiology27:38 Benefits & Science of Creatine32:17 The Harms of Seed Oils42:40 Mechanistic Damages of Seed Oils54:44 Detoxing Seed Oils1:03:59 Light Diet & Cellular Health1:07:44 Reconnecting to Ancestral Roots1:11:47 Paul's In's & Out's for 20251:17:13 One Trend Paul Would Like to Die1:20:09 Paul's Parting Words & 2025 Projects--- --- ---DISCLAIMERDr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School.
