Dr. Nicole Avena
AN EXPERT IN NUTRITION, DIET AND FOOD ADDICTION
Dr. Nicole Avena is a research neuroscientist and a pioneer in the
field of food addiction.
Her seminal research work jump-started a new field of exploration
in medicine and nutrition.
She is an expert in diet during pregnancy and baby, toddler and
childhood nutrition.
She is also the author of the book Sugarless
Many people blame sugar cravings on a lack of willpower rather than
acknowledge that the substance is highly addictive - even more so
than cocaine, nicotine, and alcohol.
And the problem isn’t only dessert; sugar is everywhere - approximately 80 percent of products in supermarkets contain sugar. No wonder eliminating it feels impossible: the more added sugar a person eats, even unknowingly, the more likely they are to crave it.
In Sugarless, Dr. Nicole Avena teaches you how you can
completely change your mindset around what you eat. You will no
longer use food to soothe or reward yourself or be a victim of the
addiction machine that our modern food environment has created. She
will show you how to break away and to use food for what it is
intended to be: fuel for your body.
