She has been on the Board of Directors for the Food Addiction Institute located in Florida since 2010. Bitten has decades of experience treating patients with food addiction and has developed a holistic treatment program for food addicts in which she offers education for professionals, both in Sweden and online. She has also developed a self-diagnosis test, which helps clients learn if they’re suffering from harmful use or addiction. It is important to know the difference since the treatment for each condition differs. Bitten follows guidelines in addiction medicine from the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and is trained in Addiction Interaction Disorder, oftentimes described as “one illness, many outlets.” Most of Bitten’s training was completed alongside Terence T. Gorski at CENAPS in the US. She was also a member of National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP) and The Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) for many years. Additionally, she has been certified and licensed in Alcohol and Drug Diagnose Instrument (ADDIS) since 1990, which is built on ICD 10 and DSM5 diagnostic criteria for addiction, as well as, SUGAR certified and licensed. SUGAR is an evaluation instrument she developed after the ADDIS model. Bitten is a food addict in recovery since 1993, which is when she got help in the US after struggling with her own food addiction for many years. She is convinced that a keto food plan is the best option for those who suffer from food addiction — and more specifically, for those who are addicted to sugar.

Den vansinnigt karismatiska och kunnige Bitten Jonsson golvar oss med sin kunskap och sin erfarenhet. Många ögonöppnare och "aha"-upplevelser i detta avsnitt.

Have you ever spent time trying to figure out what single horrific event happened when you were a child that led you to be addicted to food? It seems that the mainstream narrative about eating too much chocolate or too much ice cream or too much sweet anything comes attached to the idea that it must be a self-punishment for something you allowed to happen or that you did to yourself. However, this episode of sugar, flour, and processed food addiction totally challenges that idea and it may be much easier than you expected it to be. In This Episode We Discuss: Why so many people are addicted to sugar, flour, and processed foodWhy sugar in all forms is in fact a drug that matches that of ecstasy and cocaineWhich nutrition you should eat to begin the addiction detox process *** Over 40s...
