Episode 415 - Is Sugar Addiction Real with Mike Collins

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

We reflect on our relationship with sugar and how it shapes our daily lives. It might be one of the more difficult things we do, but reconsidering what we may have always taken for granted about sweetness and self-care could become the key to change.

We navigate the surprising connections between sugar, emotional wellbeing, and the habits embedded in family traditions and might just find ourselves questioning the deeper behavioral patterns that lie beneath our daily choices. What could real freedom from sugar look and feel like?

MIKE COLLINS

Mike Collins believes sugar addiction is very real and not to be taken lightly. As a person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder for over forty years, he took a keen interest in what sugar was doing to him and his friends in early recovery.

After much research and experimentation, he quit sugar with the help of amazing mentors. He then raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years old, and as they grew, he rewrote the rules for sugar and kids in childhood.

He takes his stewardship of SugarAddiction.com, SugarDetox.com, and QuitSugarSummit.com very seriously and aims to provide information and community for anyone wanting to curb or quit sugar.

Hundreds of thousands have read his book The Last Resort Sugar Detox, and tens of thousands have completed his online 30-Day Sugar Freedom Challenge.
