Dr. Vera Tarman: Medication's Role in Sugar Addiction Recovery

The same neurochemistry of addiction is the same neurochemistry of depression and anxiety...depression is a combination of serotonin deficit...and dopamine deficit.
How do medications affect those battling sugar addiction? In this milestone 100th episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', host Siobhan Huggins dives deep into this critical topic with Dr. Vera Tarman, Medical Director of Renascent and author of 'Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction'. Dr. Tarman brings her extensive experience to the table, shedding light on how antidepressants, stimulants, and other medications interact with the neurochemistry of addiction, depression, and anxiety.
She explains why people with a history of addiction often face heightened challenges with mental health issues and how medications can sometimes complicate the recovery process. The conversation also explores the link between food addiction and obesity, touching on the potential benefits and pitfalls of anti-craving drugs. Throughout the episode, both Sio and Dr. Tarman share personal stories about their struggles and victories in living sugar-free, offering listeners valuable insights and practical advice.
If you're curious about how medications might be impacting your journey to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
