040. 80% of Americans Have Food Addiction: Here's What You Need to Know | with Dr. Ifland pt 2
In part two of my conversation with Dr. Joan Ifland, we dig even deeper into the truth about food addiction and why most people don't realize they're living with it. Dr. Ifland breaks down the 11 diagnostic criteria for processed food addiction and shares staggering research showing that more than 80% of Americans meet the threshold for severe addiction. She explains why weight-loss programs fail, how the medical and pharmaceutical industries profit from keeping people sick, and what true recovery actually looks like. We also talk about her new Remission Optimistic Community—a groundbreaking approach helping people not only recover from food addiction but also reverse diet-related diseases through real nourishment, stress recovery, and community support. If you've ever wondered why willpower doesn't work or how to truly heal your body from the inside out, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and next steps.
