What is the role?
The Food Addiction Recovery Advocate (FARA) (formally ARC Manager) role:
How it Works
ARCs work by specifically blocking processed food addiction as fostered by addiction marketing scientists at the processed food industry. The ARC works to block out an addiction technique known as “Surround Marketing.’ Surround marketing is effective because it uses Pavlovian conditioning of reward, stress and survival neurons in the brains of consumers to create intense cravings and drive compulsive eating. At the same time, Surround Marketing diverts blood flow to the reward and stress neurons and away from thinking neurons. Surround Marketing also ‘kidnaps’ mirror neurons so we’re helplessly copying people in commercials for processed foods.
ARCs are designed to block out Surround Marketing with a matching high level of Surround Recovery Messaging. ARCs' online resources are available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year just as food advertising is. The ARC provides both live programming with video chats and conference calls, as well as ever-present recovery programming in Facebook Groups, by email, and at our website resource center at www.foodaddictionreset.com.
FARAs partner with the Central ARC to personalize ARC Members’ experiences. Each FARA chooses an area that they’re especially interested in supporting. These areas could be a demographic such as an age group, profession, or geographical location. Or, the focus could be on overcoming a particular condition such as diabetes, depression, or fatigue.
Central ARC makes it easy for each FARA to successfully support their Members. We take care of all administrative requirements. While Advocates are specializing and connecting with their Members, Central ARC provides a complete program of support to Advcates:
On a daily basis Central ARC provides your ARC Members with easy-access recovery messaging:

Joan has the marketing dialed in. I've been in awe of the marketing machine built around getting people into the ARC. There is massive support to help each FARA fill their ARCs. – Holly Levine

- Gradually builds up to hosting a one-hour chat or Study Group up to 8 times per week.
