Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego
It is my belief, as well as many others, that for some individuals certain foods can be as addictive as cocaine or alcohol or any of the other substances that are accepted or recognized as being addictive. Unfortunately, many who suffer from the disease of food addiction are rarely recognized and treated as addicts, although they share many patterns with chemical dependents. Of course this is a controversial subject and many scientists have concluded food cannot be truly considered psychoactive, which challenges the validity of the food addiction model. Yet at the same time critics question why food addictions model is the most widely received by many in the general public when there is controversy surrounding it. This information is certainly something to ponder over and definitely raise an eyebrow over.
Getting Started With Dr. Lisa Ortigara Crego
The study I conducted (Spiritual Recovry from Food Addiction) explored the food addict’s journey of recovery to illuminate and describe the experience of spiritual recovery and for the advancement of knowledge. Food addiction is real and harbors valid concerns worth investigating. Sadly, food addiction is often related to obesity, depression, disruption in social, occupational and family life, isolation, unresolved conflicts, and shame. This was apparent in the participants I studied. A comprehensive review of literature, my own personal experiences, and working with hundreds of patients over nearly two decades has given me an opportunity to explore food addiction and spiritual recovery, hence presenting a collective view about what is known about food addiction and which research methods have been utilized in these studies.
