Warm, honest, dedicated, Anne Katherine crawled into recovery from her own food addiction in 1982, and then her life changed. "Recovery created a Great Divide--between the life I led when my brain was in the mothballs of addiction and the explosion of potential that became possible when food was no longer the center of my life. I never would have believed it could make such a difference to find release from the addiction." From that point forward she became a relentless sleuth on the hunt for the biochemistry of food addiction, trusting that there had to be a biological cause rather than the pat explanations of too lazy or weak-willed. These efforts led to a wealth of cutting edge discoveries, four popular books, and a treatment program, culminating in the Master Your Appetite system found in this book. A Certified Eating Disorders Specialist, MA psychologist, and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Anne has 40 years of experience as a therapist specializing in eating issues, mostly in private practice, with some years working in or consulting to hospitals. Now retired from private practice, she speaks at conferences, leads retreats, and guides the online Master Your Appetite program. Author of 8 books, her companion to Your Appetite Switch is Lick It! Fix Her Appetite Switch, for friends and family members. www.masteryourappetite.com www.annekatherine.org
