Food Junkies Podcast


Jan 26, 2021

On Todays episode we are so excited to have Bitten Jonsson. Bitten is a close personal friend and colleague to our whole podcast team. 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. Inspired by her own story with addiction, she developed a passion to help others become aware of their relationship with these drug foods and now shows people the way to heal and recover from sugar addiction.

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. NOTE: We have a whole episode with Dr. Tarman and Bitten discussing this coming up! Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!
