Meet Kathleen
 |
Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D. is the best selling author of Potatoes Not Prozac,
The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program, Your Last Diet, Little Sugar Addicts
and Your Body Speaks. She is both a compassionate coach and a social
commentator, who has taken the concept of sugar sensitivity and transformed the
way of looking at the relationship of addiction and food as a healing agent. Kathleen is a
cultural visionary, understanding the essence of addiction in a compassionate
and revolutionary way. |
In 1988, Kathleen started a small addiction treatment center in Northern
California. Seeking new alternatives to enhance the success rate of her center,
she initiated a nutritional protocol with her clients that caused the sobriety
rate to skyrocket to 92%. Following her deep commitment to understanding the
biochemistry of her clinical success, she returned to school to obtain a Ph.D.
She chose to attend The Union Institute, the country’s oldest and most
prestigious interdisciplinary university committed to connecting scholarship and
social action. The nature of her work was so revolutionary that she graduated
with the first degree awarded in the field of Addictive Nutrition. That work
chronicled her efforts in seeing Drunk Driving as an issue of alcoholism rather
than criminal action and resulted in a dissertation of the impact of her
nutritional intervention on a group of multiple offender drunk drivers which was
associated with a 30% drop in offense during the time her program was in place.
As the biochemical understanding of sugar sensitivity and sugar addiction have
evolved, so has Kathleen’s mission, transforming from a lone voice on the
cutting edge of addiction treatment to a cultural leader and life guide,
inspiring hope in hundreds of thousands world wide who have suffered from
alcoholism, sugar addiction, depression, eating disorders, and the complexities
of parenting. Kathleen’s voice is caring, skilled and clear in a realm where
fog, blame and dysfunction abound. She provides not only hope, but also
practical skills for profound life change.
Kathleen’s books have a worldwide audience from all over the U.S. and Canada,
Europe, Australia and into the Far East including Mongolia, Japan and Thailand.
Her books have been best sellers in the UK and the U.S. and have reached close
to a half a million people. She has taught animated and informative workshops,
seminars and retreats since 1988 across the country and the UK.
Kathleen’s name has become synonymous with the healing of sugar addiction
through nutrition. The genuineness of her vision and the depth at which people
