A Harvard-Educated Author Who Beat Food Addiction Reveals What Was Actually Driving It — Here's Bracha Goetz's Story

If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder or food addiction, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is available at 1-866-662-1235. Bracha Goetz was a Harvard student on a successful academic track — and secretly struggling with anorexia and binge eating at the same time. What she discovered through her own recovery changed everything she thought she understood about food addiction — that it is not a willpower problem or a discipline failure but a soul starving for spiritual nourishment and seeking the wrong source to fill it. As the Harvard-educated author of over 40 books including her candid memoir Searching for God in the Garbage she has spent her career helping others find the joyful path to freedom from food addiction that she discovered herself. What she shares with Stacey Chillemi about the spiritual root of food cravings that most treatment approaches never address, the practical strategies for bringing genuine and lasting pleasure into your life so food loses its addictive grip, and what her transformative journey from addiction to joy actually looked like from the inside will give you the most personally honest and spiritually grounded food addiction recovery conversation you have encountered. Your soul is not hungry for food. This episode shows you what it is actually craving. For all links mentioned in the episode: Become a supporter of this podcast: .
