My mission

I am a recovering addict since September 1985 and have several outlets; the number one being sugar, and when I look back, I see that it started at a very young age. When I was four years old, I stole sugar cubes in the kitchen whenever I could. The rest is history, as they say. After being in treatment for my alcoholism, a consequence of my sugar addiction, I started my journey into recovery for which I am extremely grateful. For me, sugar was the gateway drug. My mission today is to free addicts, especially sugar addicts, from being a slave to the drug.

Very few understand addiction in its full force and even fewer view sugar/flour/processed foods as a drug with psychoactive characteristics. The people afflicted seldom understand and/or see themselves as addicted and that will hinder recovery for many years and result in a tremendous amount of negative consequences. That is due to the drug’s effect on our brains. My mission is to spread knowledge about sugar addiction to the afflicted and to teach and train professionals how to screen, assess, evaluate and diagnose sugar addiction, and how to help individuals detox from “drug foods” and find long-lasting recovery. My holistic model is based on ASAM’s definition of addiction and a combination of traditional medicine and integrated functional medicine. You are welcome to share my journey, knowledge, and experience.
