She traveled to sugar plantations in Louisiana and Sugar Land, Texas, to learn more about convict leasing and to understand the sugar industry's role in Black American history. Her conversations with the late Reginald Moore in Sugar Land and plantation tours played a significant role in inspiring her to cut sugar from her diet, lose over fifty pounds, and raise awareness about sugar among communities of color.Shun continued her studies and became certified and licensed in holistic medicine and sugar addiction by Bitten Jonsson. She founded Sisters Breaking the Bonds of Sugar to raise awareness about sugar among Black Americans.Shun also serves as a sugar mentor for those who struggle with sugar, food, or carbohydrate addiction.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a listener question about whether agave nectar can contribute to obesity like high-fructose corn syrup, arguing that regular use of sweeteners—including agave, honey, monk fruit, stevia, aspartame, sucralose, allulose, and sugar alcohols—can maintain sweet cravings, spike insulin, and contribute to weight-loss plateaus, with added concerns such as microbiome effects, GI upset, and aspartame's neurotoxicity. She notes insulin's role in fat storage and blood pressure via sodium retention, and suggests that needing a sweetener in coffee or tea may indicate dependence on sweetness. She then covers a newly developed, validated Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) published in Obesity to measure intrusive food-related rumination, highlighting its five Likert-scale items, study sample characteristics, and the need for further research, including effects of GLP-1 drugs.

Sugarless: Dr. Nicole Avena on Hidden Sugars, Brain Addiction, and Practical Steps to Cut Back: Neuroscientist and author Dr. Nicole Avena reveals sugar's pervasiveness and health impacts, drawing on her book “Sugarless: The Seven-Step Plan to Uncover Hidden Sugars, Curb Your Cravings, and Conquer Your Addiction.” Avena explains how modern industrialized, highly processed foods—many containing added sugars—have transformed innate preferences for sweetness into harmful overconsumption linked to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and possible dementia via insulin signaling changes. She discusses research showing sugar can stimulate dopamine reward pathways similarly to drugs and that prenatal exposure may alter offspring metabolism, preferences, and sensitivity to drugs/alcohol. For solutions, she discourages strict “cold turkey” approaches due to hidden sugars and relapse psychology, emphasizes inventorying sources and triggers, starting with eliminating sugar-sweetened beverages and sugary coffee drinks, improving breakfast, choosing protein/fat-based snacks, and viewing alternative sweeteners as a temporary crutch; she also notes diet changes can improve mood stability and reduce anxiety.

Is sugar really "as addictive as cocaine"… or is that just clickbait? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, I sit down with neuroscientist and nutrition researcher Dr. Nicole Avena to settle the debate using what the science actually shows (and chat about why her findings have sparked so much controversy!). We break down what researchers mean when they talk about "addiction-like" behavior with sugar, why ultra-processed foods are designed to keep you coming back for more, and what happens in your brain when you binge on sugar day after day. Most importantly, Dr. Avena shares practical, doable first steps to cut back without feeling like you're white-knuckling your way through life, starting with the two biggest needle-movers that make everything easier. You'll learn: Why sugar can trigger addiction-like brain changes (and when it doesn't) How sugar impacts dopamine differently than most foods and why that matters for cravings Why most people are binging on sugar without realizing it Why "natural" sweeteners like fruit juice concentrate can still be a metabolic trap The hidden sugar clue to look for on labels The 2 simplest places to start cutting back on sugar How to manage cravings when they hit (and how to tell when you're actually hungry) Why sugar overconsumption affects mood, focus, and mental health, not just weight and blood sugar If you've ever wondered whether fasting is actually safe, effective, or "for you," this episode will help you understand the science and find a rhythm that supports your energy, metabolism, brain, and hormones.

Is sugar actually addictive? Do you need to detox from it? In this episode, the science behind “sugar addiction” is examined through a clinical and evidence-based lens. Addiction has a specific definition in medicine, and it carries serious criteria. Sugar does not meet those standards. This episode explores how addiction is defined, why sugar is not classified as a substance use disorder, what research really says about sugar and the brain, and why restriction often backfires. It also clarifies what detox actually means and why the body does not need a sugar cleanse. If you have ever felt confused, guilty, or fearful about sugar, this conversation will provide clarity and context. Part of the ongoing carbohydrate series.

Adam creates a hypnosis session to help a client break free from a sugar addiction that was created in childhood. Many people link sugar to connection, love, or gratification, and it's the emotional association that is more powerful than the taste or the physiological changes. Adam helps them break those old associations and imagine an alternative life where those associations never existed.

Send us a textMichael Collins is known as the Sugar-Free Man, a regular guy who decided years ago, through tons of research and testing his own formerly sick body, that sugar might be doing much more harm than the sweet taste was tricking us into.He also saw behavior change in children when they ate the stuff and grown-ups acting very irrationally towards “needing” the stuff, which isn't to mention folks who ate a lot of sugar and who seemed to get sicker with a whole host of diseases and conditions, including gaining a lot of extra weight.Using the powers granted to him by freedom from sugar, Michael then morphed into a voice for kids and adults, wanting to change their relationship with sugar. Michael the Sugar-Free Man believes in the good of all people and couldn't believe that the superheroes from ads and the folks who sold sugar would want to harm us, or the kiddos.The Sugar-Free Man had to change into the lone superhero fighting the good fight against sugar. Since we're all here to get “just the facts”, the science and the results of thousands of people who have successfully quit sugar are evidence of its effect on health!Find Michael Collins at-https://sugaraddiction.com/https://quitsugarsummit.com/register-2026IG- @realsugarfreemanAmazon- The Last Resort Sugar Detox Guide: Learn How to Quickly and Easily Detox from Sugar and Stop Cravings CompletelyFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

In this episode, Duane Osterlind sits down with author Dana Bowman to discuss the often-overlooked intersection of long-term recovery and menopause. Dana opens up about her journey through "the second reckoning"—a period where hormonal shifts triggered intense anxiety, suicidal ideation, and the resurfacing of addictive behaviors like sugar addiction and "doom scrolling."They explore the concept of process addictions, the importance of self-advocacy in medical settings, and how creativity can serve as a vital tool for navigating the "identity attack" that often accompanies aging. Dana's story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't a destination, but a deepening process that requires grace, honesty, and a willingness to "boop the monster on the nose."Key Discussion PointsThe "Invisible" Struggle of Menopause: Dana discusses how menopause is one of the least researched medical conditions, despite having over 70 potential symptoms. She highlights the specific danger for women in recovery: how hormonal anxiety can mimic the "dark days" of active addiction.Process Addictions in Recovery: When the biological substance (alcohol) is removed, other behaviors often rush in to fill the void. Dana shares her personal struggle with sugar addiction, binge eating, and digital escapism as ways to cope with menopausal distress.The Identity Attack: Aging and menopause can lead to "Invisible Woman Syndrome." Dana explains how surrendering to this new phase of life is similar to the initial surrender in early sobriety.The "Boop" Rule: A family strategy for facing fears. Instead of running from anxiety or shame, Dana teaches listeners to look the "clown" in the eye and "boop" it on the nose—acknowledging its presence without letting it take control.Medical Self-Advocacy: The importance of finding healthcare providers who understand the nuances of addiction and recovery when treating hormonal or mental health issues.The Spectrum of Menopause SymptomsMenopause is far more than just "hot flashes." It affects the physical, emotional, and cognitive systems, which can be particularly destabilizing for those maintaining long-term sobriety.CategoryCommon Symptoms MentionedPhysicalJoint aches, insomnia, changes in hair/skin, exhaustion.EmotionalSevere anxiety, panic attacks, depression, suicidal ideation.BehavioralReturn of "shame circles," hiding behaviors, sugar cravings.Memorable Quotes"Alcoholism waited for me... and that's how I felt about the menopause symptoms because they're so sneaky. You feel like your whole body is betraying you.""Recovery is all about acceptance and surrender. It's hard when it's your own identity to really say, 'Who am I anymore?'""There are times when my soul just needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap, and I just really need to hunker down into that. And it's okay. It's rest."Resources MentionedDana's New Book: Humble Pie: Sober Menopause, Sugar Addiction, and The Sweetness of RecoveryDana's Previous Books: Bottled and How to be Perfect Like Me2Website: DanaBowmanCreative.comSocial Media: Follow Dana on TikTok and Instagram @theDanaBoIf you live in California and are looking for counseling or therapy please check out Novus Mindful Life Counseling and Recovery CenterNovusMindfulLife.comWe want to hear from you.

Have a question you want answered on the podcast? Send us a text!To get the transcript and live access register at https://launch.zivli.com/cravings-resetToday we talked about something really important—why cravings get stronger during stressful seasons and why trying harder, being more disciplined, or “getting back on track” usually doesn't fix it.This isn't a motivation problem.And it's definitely not a character flaw.Cravings are often driven by stress circuits in the emotional brain that are formed and fire automatically. Once those circuits are activated, logic, plans, and good intentions don't stand a fair chance.That's why:“Just say no” doesn't workWhite-knuckling through cravings usually backfiresFood feels harder to manage when you're stressedInside today's training, you'll learn:What's actually happening in your brain and body when cravings hitCommon stressors you may not recognize Why stress makes sugar and comfort foods feel irresistibleHow calming the nervous system is the first step toward feeling back in control againNo food rules.No tracking.No pressure to be perfect.Just understanding—and a new perspective. If you haven't watched yet, start there.If you did attend live, the replay is a great one to revisit. The transcript is also available. There were so many great amazing learnings from today in the comments... here are just a handful!
In this transformative episode, I speak with guest Frank Wright, a naturopathic practitioner and former pastry chef who radically healed his decades-long struggles with depression, anxiety, ADHD and addiction (including severe sugar addiction) using the carnivore diet.Frank, who spent 13 years battling mental health challenges while surrounded by sugar in London's finest kitchens, shares his vulnerable journey from heavy drug and alcohol use to profound sobriety and mental clarity. He details how replacing a whole-food, high-carbohydrate diet with a nutrient-dense, zero-carb, animal-based approach provided the therapeutic ketosis and bioavailable nutrients necessary for deep healing.Key Information01:26 Frank's Personal Struggle with Sugar Addiction 04:46 Carnivore as a Tool for Sobriety and Addiction Management (Feeling full at a cellular level; getting sober before carnivore) 07:08 Attempts at Healing Before Carnivore (Returning to pastry, 10 more years of long hours, reading nutrition, going vegan for 6 months, prioritizing plant antioxidants/30 plants a day, sourdough, lectins/Dr. Gundry)13:13 Father's Health/Type 2 Diabetes & Dementia (Witnessing high-carb diet consequences; motivation for change)18:35 Decision to Try Carnivore (Brain Energy, realizing never in therapeutic ketosis, hearing anecdotal carnivore stories, jumping in) and miraculous 48-Hour Transformation on Carnivore 26:01 All Plants Are Carbohydrates (Broccoli example; anti-nutrients taking away absorption)28:44 Neurodivergence and Ketosis (Managing overthinking/organization; stabilizing brain chemistry; ADHD/Autism test)35:04 Tip for Sugar Addiction (Commit to a week of single-ingredient whole foods, complex carbs, fat, and protein; minimize fruit/sweet palette)Frank´s Bio Frank Wright is a naturopathic practitioner and former pastry chef who transformed his life through the carnivore diet after decades of struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. Having worked in some of London's finest restaurants, including the Ritz, Berkeley, and Michelin-starred establishments, Frank spent 13 years surrounded by sugar while battling mental health challenges that began in childhood. After trying everything from veganism to extensive biohacking protocols, Frank discovered carnivore nutrition and experienced a complete mental health transformation within 48 hours. Now he helps others break free from sugar addiction and reclaim their mental clarity through his Sugar Reset Community and coaching practice.

Cath was joined by art psychotherapist Gerardine Boyle in this episode. Cath and Gerardine talked about how generational trauma impacts families, the legacy of emotional neglect, what is unspoken, shame and the complexity of unwinding functional freeze in the system. Gerardine generously shared her own stories of generational trauma and what she believes has impacted her on her journey. We talked briefly about primitive reflexes and how the retention of these can be extremely impactful for nervous system and mental health. Gerardine Boyle is an Art Psychotherapist who has worked for over twenty years in Adult Psychiatry in the HSE (health service in Ireland) and in private practice. She is also trained in the Diamond Approach, the Hearing Voices Approach and she was part of a specialised HSE team delivering Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for seven years, supporting individuals with high levels of emotional dysregulation. Gerardine trained as a Transforming Touch Practitioner with Dr Stephen Terrell world expert in working with developmental trauma at the first training workshop in Ireland (in Cork in 2019) and this training has been life-changing for her and her clients. She continues to marvel at how supporting the nervous system powerfully lends itself to healing on all levels. Supporting the nervous system means the client, over time gets to know and trust their own nervous system better and shame is addressed on a somatic level. Gerardine's website is https://morninglighttherapy.ie/She works in person and offers intensives, which is multiple therapy sessions over a number of days (with client staying locally in east Cork, Ireland). She also delivers the therapy on line via zoom as well.The link to the training in Dublin with Dr Stephen Terrell is, https://www.austinattach.com/transforming-the-experience-based-brain/dublin-ireland/ and this training welcomes parents, therapists and individuals on their own healing journey.If you're enjoying this podcast.

What if you could block your sugar cravings at the source—and retrain your metabolism to crave health instead of glucose spikes?
Join Dr. Pinkston and returning favorite guest, Dr. Carolyn Dean, as they tackle the great confusion surrounding sugar and its profound impact on your health. In this illuminating discussion, you'll learn: The Sugar-Heart Disease Connection: Discover the suppressed history of how the sugar industry successfully blamed fat for heart disease and the critical role of Vitamin C in preventing arterial damage. The Magnesium Link: Understand the biochemistry of how sugar metabolism depletes your body's essential magnesium stores and its direct connection to ATP energy production. Collagen & Scurvy: Hear how high sugar intake bumps off Vitamin C, which is vital for collagen production, potentially leading to weakened blood vessels (scurvy) and the mechanism of arterial plaque formation. The Addiction and Cravings Cycle: Explore why sugar is highly addictive, the role of yeast overgrowth (Candida) in cravings, and how nutrient depletion drives excessive eating. Artificial Sweeteners & Toxicity: Dr. Dean explains the dangers of many synthetic sweeteners, including how they break down into toxic compounds, and offers safer alternatives like Stevia and monk fruit. Peripheral Neuropathy Explained: Learn the fascinating (and terrifying) mechanism by which excess sugar transforms into sorbitol, which builds up inside cells and can lead to nerve damage. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the science behind sugar's toxicity and how an integrative approach—focusing on critical nutrients like Magnesium and Vitamin C—can help you achieve the "Better Life."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does starting something new excite you? Do you dive right into a new goal, and obsessed with seeing results? If so, you are a starter. Being a starter is a blessing because it means that you don't hesitate to take the first step. But there is a difference between an immature and a mature starter. Immature starters use a lot of energy up front because they are only interested in the reward. Along the way, that motivation fizzles out, leaving you disappointed, frustrated, and even ready to quit. In today's episode, Lisa shares her experience as an immature starter. She used to be obsessed with the destination, robbing herself of peace and contentment for years. Now, Lisa is still a starter, but she is a mature starter. She removed two words from her vocabulary, significantly changing her relationship with her goals. She has no problem launching into something new, but she has taught herself to appreciate the journey and focus on mastery instead of speed. If you are a starter looking to learn how to control your pace, ensuring you have energy and motivation from the first step through to the finish line, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the two words you need to remove from your vocabulary to find peace and contentment while working toward your goals.

#170 - You're Not Weak—You're Biochemically Wired to Crave Sugar (Here's How to Break Free and Take Back Your Health) Ever wonder why quitting sugar feels harder than giving up coffee, carbs... or your will to live? In this episode of Pretty Well, I sit down with Mike Collins—founder of SugarAddiction.com and known as “The Sugar Free Man”—to unpack the hidden ways sugar addiction is wrecking your gut health, hormones, brain chemistry, and mood. We dive into how sugar hijacks your biochemistry, fuels inflammation, disrupts hormonal balance, and keeps your body stuck in a vicious cycle of cravings, fatigue, and blood sugar crashes. Mike shares how early childhood sugar exposure, emotional eating patterns, and even “healthy” foods are quietly feeding the addiction—and why going sugar-free isn't about willpower, it's about rewiring your brain. If you've ever said, “I'm fine, I just have a sweet tooth,” while polishing off a bag of “organic” cookies, this one's for you. Because it's not about giving up joy—it's about taking your health (and your energy) back. Your mitochondria will thank you.

Christine Trimpe is a transformative wellness leader dedicated to empowering professional Christian women to reclaim their health and vitality through her faith-based, holistic approach to weight loss. As the founder of The SugarFreed Me Method and a certified SUGAR® Licensed Practitioner, Christine helps clients achieve lifelong healing from sugar addiction and food-related struggles. Her clients experience dramatic transformations, including sustained weight loss and breakthroughs in physical, emotional, and spiritual health, with over 80% retention in her programs. After a personal 100-pound weight loss journey, Christine created a method that goes beyond conventional dieting, integrating faith, emotional regulation, and metabolic health principles. Christine's own story—marked by a significant health journey, an embrace of ketogenic eating, and a breakthrough lifestyle change—has inspired thousands since she first shared it on her blog and across social media. Her journey has been highlighted in leading wellness magazines, including Woman's World and First for Women, and featured on DietDoctor.com, where she was named a top low-carb success story. Key Takeaways Turning Points Matter – A single moment of frustration or physical limitation can become the catalyst for lasting change when paired with ownership and action. Small Steps First – Christine didn't overhaul her diet overnight. She began by removing obvious sources of sugar, then gradually tackled carbs like bread, pasta, and potatoes. Medical Clues Can Guide Recovery – A sleep apnea diagnosis, fatty liver disease, and hormonal concerns pushed her to seek deeper answers. Education Is Empowerment – Learning about insulin resistance through Dr. Jason Fung and others helped her connect the dots between her symptoms, cravings, and food choices. Freedom from Food Obsession – Letting go of “everything in moderation” and embracing abstinence from trigger foods brought lasting relief from cravings and secret eating. Faith as a Foundation – Daily Bible reading and spiritual reflection became Christine's source of true satisfaction and stability, replacing food as a coping mechanism. Social Strategies Work – She uses simple, non-judgmental responses when offered foods she avoids, focuses on connection over food, and prepares mentally before events. Recovery Evolves – What worked at one stage may shift with life changes (e.g., menopause), and flexibility paired with self-awareness supports long-term success. Planting Seeds – Helping others often means sharing your story without expectation, trusting that the right moment for change will come in their own timing.
