Food addiction and AOD

In this talk I will argue that food addiction is a valid entity and that the addiction treatment field has an important role in helping people with food addiction/obesity recover physical and mental health. I will share my academic and clinical experience since publishing a book “Real Weight Loss” in 2008. During much of this time I have felt quite demoralized with clinical outcomes. However, I have now discovered fasting and ketogenic dieting and begun to see some remarkable clinical transformations in people.
