Can Food be Addictive? An Interview with Clarissa Kennedy and Molly Painschab

44 minutes

As we all try to make healthy food choices, are there trigger foods that we find uniquely difficult to control? What exactly do we mean when we talk about "food addiction?"

In 2021, Clarissa Kennedy and Molly Painschab, along with Dr. Vera Tarman, launched their podcast, Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction.

They are soon launching their next collaboration, Sweet Sobriety, an interactive, online, Food Addiction Recovery community, include enhanced modules based on their recent published research paper, with groups, one-on-one coaching and much more.

Clarissa Kennedy is registered social worker with additional degree in addiction and mental health. She is the founder of Reinvent Your Bliss Point where she works with individuals based on a holistic approach to healing and maintaining recovery.

Molly Painschab is a mental health professional, addiction strategist, behavior specialist, and certified international food addiction counselor with experience coaching individuals and their family members through recovery management and relapse prevention.
