Remember when cherry vanilla, Dr Pepper came out? He is known for changing the way we eat spaghetti marinara sauce or like prego sauce, and essentially it was because he altered the sugar and the salt and most certainly the sugar content, which, again, these are foods we don't need sugar- and if he added more, people liked it and they bought more, all right.
Is it possible that the most addictive substance in your home isn't what you'd expect? In this episode of 'The Addiction Files', hosts Dr. Paula Cook and Dr. Darlene Petersen are joined by Catherine Van Tassell, PA-C, LCSW, to tackle the complex issue of food addiction. Catherine breaks down the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) and offers practical advice on identifying disordered eating patterns.
They dive into how the food industry manipulates our cravings and discuss the powerful role of sugar in our diets. This conversation doesn't just stop at diagnosis; it extends to actionable treatments like mindfulness, reward-based learning, and various therapies. Catherine emphasizes the importance of integrating nutrition education into medical practices to help patients manage their relationship with food.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone grappling with food addiction, this episode is packed with insights that could change how you think about food.
