Dr. Ortigara Crego was born in Chicago, Illinois where she resided most of her young life with the exception of five years in a small town in Wautoma Wisconsin.

The early passing of my mother due to life-long adult obesity ignited my burning desire to help anyone who would listen, and soon after her funeral (2002), I started the process of earning a PhD in addiction psychology. I knew without a shadow of a doubt I wanted to address compulsive eating and spiritual recovery as my dissertation topic and later a book.

Once I published my dissertation and graduated with my doctorate degree, I began revising my dissertation—and it morphed into Release Your Obsession with Food: Heal from the Inside Out. I took a dissertation that was stale and breathed life into a book for a wide audience of therapists, eating disordered persons, and those struggling with weight and food issues in general. From that moment forward I wrote and rewrote and wrote again to the point of where my book morphed into work I’m quite proud of.
