Dr. Tarman is the author of “Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction”, and “Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction”. These are standard texts that are used in school, food addiction programs, and courses. She spearheaded the first inpatient and outpatient programs in Canada for food addiction. A medical pioneer in the field of compulsive overeating and food addiction, she has treated over 100 food addiction patients in the last few years.
Dr. Tarman’s main goal is to put food addiction ‘on the table’ of services offered to people suffering from addictions. Food addiction is often dismissed or neglected, leaving many people without the necessary help and compassion they need to get well. As a recovering food addict herself, Dr. Tarman knows that freedom from food addiction is food serenity. Freedom from food addiction tastes great!
