Sandra Elia is a Certified Food Addiction Counselor and a trailblazer in the field of addictive eating. Her expertise has brought about partnerships with Canada's top obesity and addiction doctors. Her Food Addiction Recovery Program has yielded tremendous success. Patients report improved health, improved sense of well being, most importantly, changing their relationship with food.
Sandra created and facilitates an outpatient Food Addiction Recovery Program in medical clinics across Canada. She co-created Canada's first 28-day residential treatment program for food addiction at Renascent Addiction Rehab Centre in Toronto.
Sandra knows firsthand the struggle of living with obesity. She has lived two lives: one as a morbidly obese woman for 15 years. She experienced a world that was not made for her size, seeking assistance from biased healthcare providers, and dealing with fat-shaming. Since those difficult days, Sandra has transformed her life and her body, losing over 100 pounds.
