Dr. Claire Wilcox: The Link Between Addiction and Overeating

Dr. Claire Wilcox is an addiction psychiatrist and author of the textbook "Food Addiction, Obesity and Disorders of Overeating". She brilliantly compiled the evidence showing sugar/flour acts on the brain like drugs of abuse, and that some forms of overeating are in fact addiction driven. She feels passionate about educating the public on this topic so that more research and effective treatments can be identified. In addition to her medical expertise, she has her own story of sugar addiction recovery.
