Abstract
A holistic perspective on treating women who suffer from a food addiction. Sharing her own personal experience and utilizing documented research, the author proposes a bio-chemical link between a bodily shape of panic and the presence of the chemical serotonin. She presents a feminist perspective on women experiencing panic due to societal pressure to be thin perpetuating their food addiction. The author also brings light to the use of spirituality as a way to heal.
