Summary

Dr. Ifland has been creating breakthroughs in recovery from food addiction from 1999 with the publication of her first popular book to 2018 with the publication of her textbook, Processed Food Addiction: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery (CRC Press). The textbook is the first academic publication describing how to diagnose and treat processed food addiction, as well as establishing the scientific basis for the disease. Her current project is a breakthrough in recovery: the online Addiction Reset Community (ARC) founded in 2018 (patent pending). It is based on findings that processed food addiction can be severe. This finding shifted the field to more comprehensive abstinence and support protocols that also resolve isolation and mobility issues. Dr. Ifland earned her PhD in addictive nutrition at Union Institute and University (2010). Her MBA was awarded by Stanford Business School (1978) and her BA in Economics and Political Science by Oberlin College (1974). Topics covered in this episode: •What is processed food addiction? •How the food industry manipulates our tastebuds. •How do you know that you have a processed food addiction? •Why don't health professionals get it? •Emotional traumas that go into processed food addiction and how they are related to other addictions. •How to avoid a processed food addiction. •How to break a processed food addiction.

0:00.0	While it doesn't seem to get much attention, you truly can be addicted to food.
0:07.0	And it's not surprising that highly processed foods like industrialized chocolate, pizza, and
0:13.8	French fries are among the most addictive. Studies have shown that when we consume highly processed food or foods that have had
0:25.3	fats or refined carbohydrates added to them, these may be capable of triggering addictive-like
0:33.4	eating behaviors. And highly processed foods are unfortunately known to be highly tasty and very
0:40.7	highly preferred to unprocessed foods and that is because extensive research has gone into
0:48.7	manipulations of food to make them truly addictive. Some people who have food addiction will have higher

1:39.5	cutting back, but actually adopting methods that reduce the exposure and the consumption of processed
1:50.3	foods very similarly to how we educate other addicts such as tobacco abusers, alcoholics,
1:58.9	or narcotics users.
2:02.2	While there needs to be more research, my guest today, Joan Ifflin, literally wrote the book
2:09.7	on processed food addiction.
2:13.1	Unfortunately, it exists everywhere, and it is our job to be able to untangle the web that is leading us
