  • Beyond Willpower: How COR Retreat Helps People Heal from Food Addiction

    Beyond Willpower: How COR Retreat Helps People Heal from Food Addiction
    2026/05/26
    This powerful episode of Food Addiction: The Problem and the Solution features two remarkable women from COR Retreat — Program Director Nancy Kaley and Co-Facilitator Joni Osip — who share both their professional expertise and deeply personal journeys in food addiction recovery. This conversation explores why food addiction is far more than a lack of willpower and how ultra-processed foods can trigger cravings, obsession, and loss of control in susceptible individuals. Through honest storytelling and decades of recovery experience, Nancy and Joni explain why abstinence, connection, and 12-Step recovery have become life-changing tools for healing. This is a compelling discussion about the neuroscience of cravings, the emotional pain beneath compulsive eating, and why traditional dieting so often fails for food addicts. Nancy shares how she found freedom after decades of struggling with obesity and food obsession despite long-term sobriety from alcohol, while Joni opens up about beginning dieting and bulimia at age 12 and the deep feelings of “not being enough” that fueled her addiction. Together, they describe how COR Retreat approaches recovery through a healthy food plan with whole, unprocessed foods, community support, spiritual growth, and sustainable abstinence from sugar and flour. Their message is both compassionate and hopeful: there is nothing “wrong” with people who struggle with food addiction — this is a brain-based disease, and recovery is possible. Nancy and Joni explain why connection is critical, why surrender can become a turning point, and how people can finally experience peace and neutrality with food after years of struggle. Whether you are personally affected by food addiction, work in healthcare, or simply want to better understand the impact of today’s ultra-processed food environment, this conversation will challenge assumptions and inspire hope.

  • Why We Can’t Stop: The Truth About Ultra-Processed Food Addiction

    Why We Can’t Stop: The Truth About Ultra-Processed Food Addiction
    2026/04/14
    Dr. Jen Unwin is a pioneering voice in the field of food addiction, bringing more than three decades of clinical experience from the UK’s National Health Service and a lifelong focus on one powerful idea: hope. A Fellow of the British Psychological Society and recipient of the Karen Ehlert Lifetime Achievement Award, she has dedicated her career to helping people move beyond shame and self-blame toward lasting health change. What makes her work especially compelling is that it is not only professional but personal—Dr. Unwin has openly shared her own struggles with food addiction, giving her a rare depth of empathy and insight into the realities of recovery. Working alongside her husband, Dr. David Unwin, she has helped pioneer drug-free remission of type 2 diabetes through sustainable dietary change, supporting hundreds of patients and influencing many more worldwide. Together, they demonstrate that when biology, psychology, and behavior are addressed as one, transformation is not only possible—it is repeatable. Her work bridges science and lived experience, combining clinical rigor with a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological drivers of addictive eating. In this conversation, we explore the science of food addiction—how ultra-processed foods can hijack the brain, why traditional approaches to control food intake so often fall short, and what it truly takes to move from dieting to recovery. Dr. Unwin shares powerful insights on shame, trauma, withdrawal, and the moment of clarity many experience in early recovery. She is also part of a growing international movement—alongside leaders such as Heidi Giaever and other global experts—working to advance recognition of ultra-processed food addiction as a substance use disorder within the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD). This work represents a critical step toward transforming treatment, research, and public policy worldwide. This is a deeply human and hopeful discussion with a clinician who is helping redefine what recovery can look like—and why meaningful change in how we understand and treat food addiction may be closer than ever.

  • When the Doctor Is the Patient: Dr. Tro on Food Addiction and Healing

    When the Doctor Is the Patient: Dr. Tro on Food Addiction and Healing
    2026/03/17
    Dr. Tro Kalayjian is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Toward Health, and a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. Through his virtual metabolic health clinic, he helps patients address obesity, type 2 diabetes, chronic metabolic disease, and food addiction using a personalized, lifestyle-based approach grounded in science, clinical care, and real-world outcomes. He is also an international speaker and a leading voice in the growing conversation around metabolic health, nutrition science, and food addiction. What makes Dr. Tro’s work especially compelling is that it is deeply rooted in lived experience. He grew up in a family affected by obesity and struggled with his own weight for years, eventually reaching more than 350 pounds. As a physician, he experienced firsthand the frustration, shame, and limitations of conventional approaches, and through his own recovery he lost more than 150 pounds and has maintained that transformation for over a decade. That combination of medical expertise and personal recovery gives him a rare and powerful perspective on what it really takes to break free from food addiction and reclaim health. In this episode, we explore both the science and the human side of food addiction. Dr. Tro shares his approach to treating patients, his views on abstinence versus harm reduction, the failures of the medical system in addressing metabolic disease, and the powerful influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and public policy. We also discuss his personal recovery story and his advocacy for recognizing ultra-processed food addiction as a substance use disorder, including his support of the international consensus effort to bring this issue into the World Health Organization’s ICD. This is a bold, thoughtful, and deeply relevant conversation with a physician who brings both professional authority and lived experience to the table.
