Judi Hollis

Dr. Judi Hollis has been featured on CNN, Extra, Inside Edition, Oprah, Sally, and Leeza among others. Self magazine voted her treatments among the top ten in the nation. As a licensed family therapist she walks what she talks, maintaining her own 70-pound weight loss. Her difficult message of promoting internal spiritual connection and deep personality change is the only valid and lasting approach to weight loss.

Since opening the nation’s first eating disorders unit and authoring best sellers such as Fat is a Family Affair, Fat & Furious, Hot & Heavy, and From Bagels to Buddha, Dr. Hollis has been training professionals internationally and presenting to community groups about family and individual treatments for addictive eating styles and food obsessions. In furthering that effort, she has also produced many workbooks, videos, CDs, and DVDs.

She has been awarded a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars for her classes and workshops at universities, hospitals and community agencies, including the US Navy’s treatment programs, the FBI, Betty Ford Center, Hazelden, Omega and Esalen Institutes. Currently traveling the world and dividing her time between New York City and Palm Springs, California allows her to continue writing, developing vlogs, and exploring a new passion for storytelling.
