Freaky Eaters

Set your TiVo or DVR to record Freaky Eaters on the TLC network Sunday evening at 9:00 pm Central. It airs immediately after Hoarders and features my friend and nutritionist JJ Virgin.

Freaky Eaters  a fascinating and eye-opening TV series that documents the struggles of an unusual, and often overlooked, segment of the population—those with a bizarre compulsion towards a particular food.

Each episode tells the story of a Freaky Eater forced to confront the painful truth behind his or her food obsession and come face to face with the destructive side effects the addiction has had on their life.

Two experts, psychotherapist Dr. Mike Dow and nutrition specialist JJ Virgin, will stage a food intervention in a bid to help the compulsive eater overcome their compulsion and reclaim control of their diet.

Why am I telling you about this show? It seems out of place for Learning Strategies.

It goes back to my remarkable experience with JJ Virgin, who I had hired as my personal nutritionist.  I wrote about it in Thursday’s post. Read it and then set your DVR. You came to us to help you maximize your potential. Recognize that you need a healthy body to support your hopes and dreams, and keep an eye on the foods you eat.
