I'm Dr. Joan Ifland
The Leading Voice in Processed Food Addiction
Since 1996, I have helped people recover from diet-related disease by focusing on addiction to processed foods. As both an academic and a front-line guide, I have taught thousands of compulsive eaters how to find peace with food and recover from diabetes, heart disease, cancer, depression, fatigue, isolation, and obesity. Through the adaptation of drug and alcohol addiction recovery methods, our breakthrough programs give practitioners and clients new insights into why food addiction recovery can generate extraordinary health outcomes.
What Others Say About Our Courses
About Beating Food Addiction with Faith-Based Wisdom:
My faith provides an anchor for my recovery. On my own, I am like a wave tossing back and forth with my thoughts, words, and behaviors. My faith draws me back to True North. I take my thoughts captive sooner because of what I am learning and applying to my life.

About Mastering Food Management for Highly Sensitive People:
I found this course to be incredibly helpful in identifying and overcoming barriers created by neurodivergence, and even learned how to use my differences to my advantage! I've implemented a few daily practices that were taught, which has had a profound effect on the way I delegate my energy as well as my methods of impulse control around food. Ariana's compassion and dedication make her an excellent teacher from whom I'd see anyone succeeding under her guidance.

About Get Cravings and Overeating Under Control:
For me, working with both Holly and Lauren in a consultation session was a great experience. Due to the compassionate and understanding character of this session, I felt safe which made it easy to relax and open up. The expertise of both Holly and Lauren was very helpful in identifying the problem and then taking steps to see how my false beliefs can be changed and dhow to work from there. It has helped me to continue my road to recovery with more self-confidence!

About Manage Your Mind:
Sheila has helped me uncover the deeper roots of my anxiety, walking me through how to recognize my thoughts and change them to then alter my resulting emotions. Through this, I have been able to soon recognize my anxiety and approach it in a healthy way. ...I can tell that I am steadily growing through her wisdom and our time together.
Audrey, Virginia
About Successfully Eliminate Caffeine and Unlock Your Natural Energy:
The transition to zero caffeine was made possible for me because of this course. It really clarified why my body doesn't need it and how to gradually, consciously and willingly say farewell to this culturally ubiquitous substance, and long entrenched habit, with ease. Leslie's materials and guidance are apt & methodical, and her manner is supportive and kind.
