HOW DO I KNOW THIS COURSE IS FOR ME?
There are logical scientific explanations for why you engage in behaviors that may feel irrational to you. Certain foods have very specific effects on your brain chemistry – effects that override the “higher-order” part of your brain that controls conscious decision-making and sensible actions. Learning about these effects and identifying which foods are the most problematic for you are the keys to using this biology in your favor rather than trying to follow diets that work against it at every turn – a strategy that has failed you every time.
The Sugar & Food Addiction course will teach you how to make peace with food and gain control of your eating, by harnessing your brain chemistry and directing it to work for you in a way that supports healthful habits and food serenity for the long term.
Additionally, the 3 weeks of support you will get from Dr. Tarman and her team will give you an invaluable foundation for your recovery. If you found it impossible to make lasting change in the past because you were doing it alone, this course will provide you with a completely different experience—one that’s inspiring and empowering.
The fellowship you’ll experience in a community of people who know exactly how you feel—plus the education and support you’ll receive from trained experts—is the missing piece that will help you be successful now.
**This is the first course of its kind! Nowhere is this information laid out so clearly for students, professionals, or the lay public.
