February 03, 2016 Episode 9 – Food Politics
Marion Nestle’s book “Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health”, Marion shines a light on the advertising and the fierce competition for our food dollars. The abundance of food in North America — enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over — has a downside. The food industry must do everything possible to persuade you to eat more, more food, more often, and in larger portions, no matter what it does to your waistline or your well-being.

January 06, 2016Episode 8 – Rational Recovery
January 6, 2016: Episode 8 – Rational Recovery
On this edition you will hear from Jack Trimpey the founder of Rational Recovery®, a prominent alternative in the field of addictions. He has developed an aggressive self-recovery approach, coining the term Addictive Voice Recognition Technique® (AVRT®).
Jack believes we have an animal brain (or mid-brain) that is responsible for all our basic survival needs, which of course includes eating. With people who struggle with food addiction, the animal brain has gone into over-drive. Jack will explain how to recognize when your animal brain has taken over, and starts speaking to you, which he calls the Addiction Voice. He defines the Additive Voice as any idea, feeling or behavior that supports “using “whether it is alcohol, drugs or food. By recognizing this addictive voice, it will fall silent. Putting distance between yourself (your higher brain) and that animal brain, not reacting emotionally to its demands will over time weaken and ultimately kill off the urges to binge.
As a disclaimer, I don’t agree with everything Jack has to said, and at the same time some of his principles have been tremendously helpful in my recovery. So have a listen for yourself

December 2, 2015: Episode 7 – Getting Ready for the Holidays
Tis the season to be jolly. The happiest time of the year? For some, and for others who struggle, this edition is for you! I will explore ghosts of Christmases past. If I go back in history, I would describe Christmas as a time of dread, fear and ALWAYS weight gain for me. It never seized to amaze me how much weight I could gain in a 2 week period.
How did I go from being down right miserable during the Holidays, to having it be one of the most joyous times of the year? In a word – BOUNDARIES. Have a listen to find out to create your own boundaries.
On this edition you will hear from Myriam Llano, she is a professional and registered nutritionist, author and speaker. Myriam’s life work and focus is to empower and guide women on a path of health, enlightenment and spiritual wellbeing.

November 05, 2015Episode 6 – Spirituality and Food Addiction Recovery
Episode 6 – Spirituality and Food Addiction Recovery
I define Spirituality as returning to my true self, the real me. We are all born into this world perfect beings, then things happen to us and we lose our way. But the real me, at my core, is still that perfect being. At my centre, where God lives, I am at peace, I rage at no one, I fear nothing, and I hunger for nothing. When I consume food from this place, food addiction is an illusion. My spiritual practice is remembering each moment of each day, who I am at my core, and recognizing who you are at your core. This way I can be at peace with myself, be at peace with you and ultimately be at peace with food.
On this edition we hear from a very special guest Philip Werdell, he is a recovering Food Addict, and has dedicated his career to helping others with the same disease. Phil is the Director, of ACORN Food Dependency Recovery Services.

October 08, 2015Episode 5 – The Role Neural Pathways Play in Food Addiction.
Episode 5 – The Role Neural Pathways Play in Food Addiction.
Is your mind a friend or foe? I will explore the power of the Mind with Ann Betz, she will explain how young minds are sponges, open and available to take in everything around them. She asks us to image a field of untouched snow, and each time we connect a trigger with a behaviour, we create a neural pathway. The first time we create the pathway, similar to walking through a field of snow, it is quite difficult. But each time we walk that same pathway it becomes easier and easier. So each time we have a certain trigger and behave the same way we reinforce a neural pathway. Could this be true for Food Addiction?
Have a listen to Ann Betz the co-founder of BEabove Leadership. She is an international speaker and trainer on the intersection of neuroscience, coaching and human transformation.
