Dr Jen Unwin
Past Chair UK Association for Solution Focused Practice. Winner of the British Psychological Society Karen Ehlert Lifetime achievement award in clinical health psychology. Co-founder of Food Addiction Solutions.
Dr Jen Unwin has spent her professional life interested in the role of hope in chronic disease and how it can be used to bring about behaviour change. Her insights teamed up perfectly with Dr David Unwin’s interests in bringing about drug-free type 2 diabetes remission. For over 13 years they have been running group sessions in primary care to achieve just that, so far for more than 150 patients. Both doctors were featured in a BBC TV documentary ‘The truth about carbs’ that was seen by 3.7 million viewers. Jen has written a book ‘A Fork In The Road’ and is part of a team that published the first ever treatment study in the field and co-ordinated an international expert consensus on food addiction.
