sugar & food addiction

These lessons are the heart of the course. Dr. Tarman makes complex, high-level science understandable and accessible so that you will have actionable information you can use to begin your recovery from food addiction.  You can watch the videos as many times as you wish during the course, and you will have continued access to your student portal after the course ends so that you can log in and replay them anytime you’d like a refresher.

Beyond the pre-recorded video lessons that constitute the course itself, you will have 1 LIVE session (via Zoom) with Dr. Tarman. This live session is  your chance to go beyond what’s in the course lessons and ask Dr. Tarman to dive deeper into issues of specific interest to you or to provide more clarity on anything in the lesson videos.  While Dr. Tarman cannot provide personalized medical advice during this session, it is a unique opportunity to learn more, directly from a medical professional who not only specializes in diagnosing and treating food addiction, but who is a long-term recovered food addict, herself, and who has personal experience with the recovery process. Don’t worry if you can’t attend live: all live sessions will be recorded and you will receive an email the very next day with a link to watch the replay. (Replays will also be available in your student portal.)

Recovery from food addiction requires more than simply learning about it.  You need tactics, techniques, and actionable strategies to implement in order to make genuine, lasting change.  That is exactly what you will get during these three LIVE coaching sessions with certified addiction counselors whose careers are dedicated to helping people succeed on the path to food freedom.

You will receive the complete audio version of Dr. Tarman’s groundbreaking book, Food Junkies.  Food Junkies is an excellent complement to the course material.  It will help you dive deeper into understanding the biology behind sugar and food addiction and how to identify and overcome a variety of eating problems, such as binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, and compulsive restriction.  The book combines solid science with years of clinical experience and includes multiple patients’ inspiring stories of recovery.

A compilation of books, videos, podcasts, and other resources from trusted authorities on sugar and food addiction.  These resources will provide you with ongoing education and support long after the course ends.  This compilation also includes recommended papers from the scientific and medical literature for professionals and interested laypeople who want to explore select peer-reviewed publications in this area of research.

All 18 lessons come with complete transcripts that you can use to follow along while you watch the videos or print out to read at your leisure and refer back to at any time. (Like all the pdf resources that come with the course, you can download and save these—they are yours to keep.)

Dr. Westman guides you through his “prescription-strength” keto method and food list, through which he has helped thousands of patients for more than twenty years.

Multiple pdf resources with actionable strategies for managing and avoiding food cravings, dealing with “food pushers,” and getting past the lies the food-addicted brain uses to keep you mired in self-destructive habits.  This information will be invaluable for aiding in your recovery from sugar or food addiction.
