Vera Tarman, MD, Msc. FCFP, ABAM

I am an addictions physician and medical director of Renascent, one of Canada’s larger drug and alcohol treatment centres. I have a passion for the field of food addiction; I have spoken, taught, and written about this subject for over 20 years. I am the author of Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction, 2nd edition. I have a thriving free Facebook group called I’m Sweet Enough: Sugar Free for Life. I also have a podcast called Food Junkies - which catches up on the latest in the food addiction field. I also have a YouTube channel with videos about addiction in general and food addiction. I am also a food addict in recovery for over 20 years and have maintained a 100-pound weight loss since then.
