Food Addiction Counselor Dr. Joan Ifland, Ph.D., M.B.A., F.A.C.N., explains how diabetes drugs used for weight loss cripple the dopamine pathways in the brain -- which may not only injure the ability to experience pleasure in other areas of life but also leaves people without the skills to cope with food cravings once they stop taking the drug. The best way to increase health long term? Dr. Ifland recommends first getting into therapy or joining a supportive community to explore the underlying emotional, mental, and physical reasons for compulsive eating and processed food addiction.
