Sandra Elia talks about her food addiction and how She gained 100 pounds, while it had nothing to do with hunger. She was eating to numb herself.

Today Sandra is a certified food addiction counsellor and the author of Never Enough: Three Pillars of Food Addiction Recovery. She also runs an outpatient food addiction recovery program in medical clinics across Canada. She and Gina talk about how ultra-processed food is built to overwhelm your brain’s reward system, the difference between eating food and using it, and how to plan for your high-risk times of day. They also cover what GLP-1 medications can’t do on their own, why “I just have to stop” is the wrong answer to a craving, and what to ask yourself instead.
