Dr. Vera Tarman is the author of the book Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction.
 
Her book (as well as the podcast Food Junkies) tackles the complex and often poorly understood issue of food addiction. It's so poignant because it's written from her own clinical experience with dozens of her patients who suffer from overeating, binge eating, obesity, anorexia, and bulimia.

But Vera is also the person behind the white coat. In this episode, she tells her own touching personal story about her addiction to food, especially to sugar and flour. She talks about how it began and developed, and how she found peace from that "hornet's nest" of self-destructive addictive tendencies.

Hers is a journey of discovery and self-acceptance, as a patient as much as a doctor.

For people struggling with food addictions, finding health professionals who understand and recognize their condition remains a frustrating battle, even today. Thanks to her book, podcast and Facebook group, Dr. Vera Tarman continues to lead the way in research as well as giving practical strategies for people facing the complicated challenges of eating disorders and addictions.
