About Me View My Posts
Food addiction is when you eat for a state change, and keep eating in an obsessive way in the face of harm from it. I’ve written about my own struggle with food addiction in my new book The Hormone Reset Diet and in my last blog on food addiction. I outlined the ways that “Big Food” hooks you into food addiction and conditioned overeating through the targeted design of foods that combine sugar, flour,... 4/7/2015 7:00:00 AM

by Gini Warner
About Me View My Posts
Gluten is a protein contained in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives a doughy/elastic consistency to flours derived from these grains. This is why, over the centuries, gluten-containing grains have come to be used so extensively in breads and other baked goods. Today, gluten is used in many processed and pre-made foods. Though there may be no detectable symptoms of the immune response to gluten, the typical... 3/30/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Most of us have a wonderful relationship with food. Beyond eating for survival, we enjoy food in moderation and know that it brings us nutrition, joy, and health.

I just attended a very useful meeting, where there is a consensus that maybe how we practice primary care, an ideal, is actually a failure in reality. To some, it could look like a big power trip for a physician to invite you into her or his “territory,” ask you to sit on the end of a hard examination table half-naked, and offer no recognition that you took a half day off and maybe a quarter of tank... 3/28/2015 7:00:00 AM

She spoke in hushed tones about a second and then third eclair she devoured alone, hiding all evidence from her husband.“You’re addicted,” I said matter-of-factly. Sugar had become my friend’s drug of choice, and constantly grazing on even so-called healthy hidden-sugar foods had trained her body to demand it constantly.If you can relate to my friend’s predicament, I’ve got hopeful news: sugar addiction... 3/24/2015 7:00:00 AM

I wasn’t going to post anything today. I was too busy contemplating some of the responses to my recent post about the perils of drinking milk.There are some real stout defenders of the dairy industry (perhaps some fiscally motivated) and several felt the need to email me directly and/or try and post (so glad our platform has a profanity filter which does not allow profane posts to go live) implications... 3/20/2015 7:00:00 AM
