Welcome to The Forking Truth!
In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nina and Dr. Alisa take a hard look at Overeaters Anonymous (OA) and its impact on those struggling with food and body image. While OA is often seen as a source of support, the doctors argue that it can actually deepen shame, promote disempowerment, and pathologize normal emotional responses to food.
They explore how OA’s structure and language reinforce the idea that people are “addicted” to food, when in reality, food is often a coping mechanism, not the core issue. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Nina and Dr. Alisa emphasize that eating behaviors are not a moral failing, and true healing comes from addressing emotional wounds, not adopting restrictive rules or shame-based identities.
If you’ve ever felt like recovery should feel more freeing than fearful, this episode offers a powerful alternative perspective grounded in self-compassion, emotional insight, and empowerment.
Key Takeaways:
Tune in if you’re ready to challenge shame-based recovery models, reclaim your relationship with food, and begin healing from a place of understanding, not judgment.
