Heather Hewett, ND, CHP, CCH, is a Board Certified Traditional Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist, Homeopath, author of ‘’Natural Health Simplified-Your Guide to Being Vital Again!’’, and Director of the Addiction Reset Community, Phase 2 of the FARA Academy and of the AFAR Academy.

Joan Ifland. Dr. Ifland has been creating breakthroughs in recovery from food addiction from 1999 with the publication of her first popular book. In 2018 her textbook was published, Processed Food Addiction: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery (CRC Press) and she founded the online peer support, The Addiction Reset Community (ARC). The textbook is the first academic publication describing how to diagnose and treat processed food addiction, as well as establishing the scientific basis for the disease.
Dr. Ifland’s work is based on findings that processed food addiction can be severe and that addicted people are often traumatized. These findings shifted the field to more comprehensive programs designed to resolve stress, isolation, and mobility issues. Reset Week is the first online live program for withdrawal (2018). ARC Manager Training (AMT) produces ARC leaders and leads to the Food Addiction Recovery Advocate (FARA) Certification (2020). Today she is developing the Remission Optimistic Community (ROC) to support remission of diagnoses labeled as ‘incurable.’
Dr. Ifland and her team have created numerous innovative online resources for food addicts.
https://www.remissionoptimistic.com was released in 2022 to provide remission programming to people who have received an ‘incurable’ diagnosis.
https://www.processedfoodaddiction.com was established in 2021 to provide comprehensive recovery services to diverse populations.
https://www.foodaddictionreset.com/reset-week-homepage RESET Week is the first home-based online live video program to support people through the acute phase of withdrawal from processed foods (2018).

The website, Food Addiction Resources, www.foodaddictionresources.com, provides free evidence-based handouts (2104).
She wrote the popular book, Dr. Ifland’s Meal Prep Manual, which is a breakthrough system
to easily manage meals for recovery from food addiction (2018).
Dr. Ifland is the lead author of the first scholarly description of processed food addiction according to classic addiction diagnostic criteria and the first scholarly definition of addictive versus non-addictive foods, Refined Food Addiction: A Classic Substance Use Disorder (2007) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19223127.
Dr. Ifland earned her Ph.D. in addictive nutrition at Union Institute and University (2010). Her MBA was awarded by Stanford Business School (1978) and her BA in Economics and Political Science by Oberlin College (1974). Her early career was spent understanding corporate and government behaviors with two years as fiscal staff for the Joint Finance Committee of the Wisconsin Legislature (1974-76) and five years as corporate finance staff for a Fortune 200 holding company, the Continental Group (1978-1983)
