In the latest episode of the Beat Your Addiction Podcast, hosts John Giordano and Scott Jones welcome Harvard-educated author Bracha Goetz to discuss the often overlooked but critical issue of food addiction. Bracha, known for her extensive work in children's literature and her memoir, 'Nourish the Soul: Filling the Emptiness Within,' brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insight to the conversation. Food addiction is a serious issue impacting countless individuals worldwide.
Bracha emphasizes the importance of recognizing this addiction and treating it with the seriousness it deserves. The discussion highlights various recovery approaches, including holistic programs that address not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of addiction. One of the key concepts Bracha introduces is the 'Pleasure Ladder,' a framework that encourages individuals to replace harmful addictions with healthy, fulfilling activities.
This concept hinges on gratitude, an attitude that Bracha believes is crucial for overcoming emotional challenges and achieving lasting change. John and Scott also delve into the emotional connections to food and the importance of understanding the brain-gut interaction.

As the hosts and guest share their experiences and insights, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives and consider how gratitude and holistic approaches might aid in their recovery journeys.
