Food Addiction Friday gives a warm welcome to Dr. Alan Goldhamer. Dr. Goldhamer is the founder of the True North Health Center. For our discussion today we will be focusing on his book, ‘The Pleasure Trap.’ The book provides a fascinating perspective on how modern life can turn so many millions of smart people into the unwilling and unknowing “ captives“ of processed food addiction. Dr. Goldhamer has a great handle on all of the factors that go into creating the epidemics of diet-related diseases driven by manipulation of our own internal pleasure trap. You will learn why overeating is not your fault. You’ll get great new ideas for what to do about it.

Dr. Alan Goldhamer is one of the world’s leading experts on medically supervised, water-only fasting. Articulate, inspiring, and energetic, he is a frequent lecturer and speaker on fasting, diet, and treatment of chronic diseases to achieve optimum health.

In 1984, Dr. Goldhamer founded and became Director of TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California; since then, he has supervised the fasting and care of more than 20,000 patients. TrueNorth Health is a multi discipline practice that includes doctors of medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, naturopathy, and psychology. Its healthcare providers treat patients with conditions ranging from high blood pressure and diabetes to autoimmune disorders and lymphoma. The Center is the largest facility in the world specializing in medically supervised, water-only fasting and one of the premier training facilities for doctors to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.

TrueNorth Health utilizes a nutritional medicine approach based on an exclusively whole-plant-food diet free of added salt, oil, and sugar (SOS). The Center is affiliated with the TrueNorth Health Foundation, whose mission is to expand evidence-based knowledge of how medically supervised, water-only fasting and diet impact human health; train clinicians in the use of these interventions; and share its findings with researchers and the public.

Dr. Goldhamer is the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook and co-author of The Pleasure Trap—Mastering the Hidden Force That Undermines Health and Happiness. He is also the principle author of two landmark studies that showed evidence of the benefits of water-only fasting, as well as numerous case reports published in peer- reviewed indexed journals evaluating the effects of water-only fasting in the treatment of a variety of conditions.

Joan Ifland. Dr. Ifland has been creating breakthroughs in recovery from food addiction from 1999 with the publication of her first popular book. In 2018 her textbook was published, Processed Food Addiction: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery (CRC Press) and she founded the online peer support, The Addiction Reset Community (ARC). The textbook is the first academic publication describing how to diagnose and treat processed food addiction, as well as establishing the scientific basis for the disease.

Dr. Ifland’s work is based on findings that processed food addiction can be severe and that addicted people are often traumatized. These findings shifted the field to more comprehensive programs designed to resolve stress, isolation, and mobility issues. Reset Week is the first online live program for withdrawal (2018). ARC Manager Training (AMT) produces ARC leaders and leads to the Food Addiction Recovery Advocate (FARA) Certification (2020). Today she is developing the Remission Optimistic Community (ROC) to support remission of diagnoses labeled as ‘incurable.’

Dr. Ifland and her team have created numerous innovative online resources for food addicts.

https://www.remissionoptimistic.com was released in 2022 to provide remission programming to people who have received an ‘incurable’ diagnosis.

https://www.processedfoodaddiction.com was established in 2021 to provide comprehensive recovery services to diverse populations.
