She is registered nurse, addiction specialist, a contributor to the Diet Doctor website AND She is the founder of Bittens Addiction. She has been helping people recover from sugar/flour/processed food addiction for nearly 30 years.

Her mission is to spread knowledge about sugar addiction and to teach and train professionals how to screen, assess, evaluate and diagnose sugar addiction using the SUGAR tool she helped develop. Through this process professionals can help individuals to detox from their "drug foods" and find long lasting recovery. Through her Facebook Group Sugarbomb in your brain she has connected those struggling with Sugar Addiction and now over 8,000 members support each other through the daily struggles with sugar addiction AND celebrate the victories that come along with recovery. She is definitely our Swedish Sugar Guru and today we discuss why Bitten thinks that those who were addicted to Bread have the worst addictions, is there a difference between binge eating disorder and/or food addiction, what you can start doing TODAY to benefit your recovery, and whether food/sugar addicts should fast or not.

David Wiss is a Registered Dietician Nutritionist. In 2012, David founded Nutrition in Recovery and developed a detailed curriculum that provides specialized nutrition services to individuals and treatment centers. He has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and works closely with individuals to help them revolutionize their relationship with food. David is a nationally recognized expert in nutrition for addiction and is currently working on his Ph.D. in Public Health from UCLA with research linking nutrition to mental health across the life course. What we love about David's messaging is that it focuses on bridging the Eating Disorder and Food Addiction "camps". David views every person's disordered eating behaviours on a spectrum and believes in professionally guided, individualized treatment specific to the client's needs that are determined by a comprehensive intake and assessment. He believes in using food to rewire the brain and believes public policy change is absolutely necessary for a change in the food environment. In todays episode we talk to him about his research papers, what we should be adding into our food plans, if he thinks abstinence is necessary for a food addict and whether he believes Food Addiction will be recognized in the DSM in the near future.
