Sersie and Gigi have a candid conversation about the role of the church in promoting health or disease. If our body is a temple, why do most churches ignore what gets served up in the basement before and after service? This episode tackles the contradictions around the church’s silence when it comes to eating healthy. It also dives into the hope and potential the church has to be a Daniel to this generation.

Food addiction is a real thing, but it’s not recognized in many healthcare, workplace, and school settings. It could be the number one reason why most people struggle to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.  In my conversation with Dr. Vera Tarman, food addiction expert and author of Food Junkies, we discuss the difference between food addiction and eating disorders, what happens neurochemically in the brain and why some people are more prone to addiction, and ways to recover to find food serenity.  About Dr. Vera Tarman:  Dr Vera Tarman has been working in the field of addiction medicine since 1994. She became accredited with the Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM) in 2004. She has been the medical director of Renascent since 2006.  She is a regular contributor to the call-in TV show Living Clean, Living Well and was cohost on Addictions Unplugged, a community call-in show about addictions.  Although she has spoken on various issues in addiction, her special interest is in the area of food addiction. She is the author of Food Junkies: The Truth about Food Addiction. Dr Tarman has found working at Renascent extremely rewarding, mainly because of its support of an abstinence model of care and its acceptance that the spiritual, as well as medical and psychological dimensions are important for recovery. Dr Tarman and Renascent believe that good care involves treating addiction and fostering a lifelong recovery life plan based on community and peer support. The power is ours!  Connect with Dr. Vera Tarman: Website https://www.addictionsunplugged.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/veratarmanmd/.
