In 2012, Adam Sud’s life spiraled out of control. Weighing nearly 350 pounds and grappling with multiple addictions and chronic health conditions. With the unwavering support of his parents and a plant-based diet, Adam lost 175lbs, changed his health and completely reinvented himself. Today, Adam is a recognized expert in insulin resistance, nutrition, addiction, and behavior change. He has collaborated with some of the most respected programs and companies in the health and wellness industry and has contributed multiple papers into the nutrition research literature. Notably, he completed the first research study investigating the effects of a nutrient-dense dietary intervention on early addiction recovery outcomes.
Today on the show we discuss: the best questions to ask yourself if you want to conquer addiction, the dopamine trap and how your environment can fuel it, Adam’s own compelling transformation story, why practicing “radical honesty” will change your life, how to make living a life of recovery more appealing, the importance of finding meaning and purpose when it comes to overcoming addiction and much more.
