Since then, I’ve maintained a 15kg weight loss and found a way to live at peace with my food and my body.

Joan Kent | Serotonin: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Edit Template Joan Kent | Serotonin: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly April 27, 2025 Interviewed by Cynthia Myers-Morrison, EdD, FAP, SUGAR® C&L, HMA Specialist Dr. Joan Kent’s field is psychoactive nutrition. “I use foods to change brain chemistry and hormones and help clients get past their food addictions and finally get results. This unique approach has helped to resolve resistant health issues for many. It also removes the mystery surrounding troublesome eating behaviors. Clients finally understand what’s been happening to them and why – and learn how to change.” Simone de Beauvoir wrote, “Confidence in the body is confidence in the self.” Because the psychoactive approach can increase confidence in the body and improve quality of life, this quotation has become my professional mission. To help a client feel better, get in touch with her/his body, and maintain that state is true empowerment. People who struggle with food and health for many years lose trust in the body. My unique perspective lets me help clients restore health and normal eating patterns, as well as trust and confidence in the body and the self. I specialize in sugar addiction; sugar cravings; binge eating disorder; metabolic syndrome; mood issues; inflammation; fueling for athletics without sugar.
