Denise Force

Denise Force is a Doctor of Nursing Practice–prepared Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with more than 20 years of nursing experience and extensive expertise in diabetes, obesity, and metabolic health.

Throughout her career, Denise has worked with thousands of individuals living with diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Her clinical experience has led her to recognize what she believes is a strong and often underappreciated connection between Food Addiction and many chronic metabolic diseases. She has seen how addictive responses to highly processed foods can drive weight gain, worsen glycemic control, and contribute to the progression of diabetes despite a patient’s sincere efforts to improve their health.

Denise is passionate about increasing awareness of Food Addiction among healthcare professionals and the public. She believes that identifying and treating Food Addiction can play an important role in preventing and improving obesity, type 2 diabetes, and related metabolic conditions.

Denise earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Rutgers School of Nursing and works in metabolic health and diabetes care, helping patients achieve lasting improvements through education, nutrition, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
