Dr. Jen Unwin and I delve into the intricate dynamics of food addiction, its root causes, and actionable strategies for healing. We discuss how ultra-processed foods and additives like sugar, seed oils, and caffeine hijack the brain's reward system, making them addictive, and explore how whole foods, mindfulness, and structured routines can support recovery. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Dr. Jen Unwin is a UK-based clinical psychologist specializing in food addiction. With decades of experience in the National Health Service, she now focuses on raising awareness and advocating for the official recognition of food addiction as a medical condition.
