The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast
Florence Christophers
Welcome to the Kick Sugar Coach Podcast! Everyone knows alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes can be addictive, but sugar? Oh yes, sugar! It flies under the radar, but it should not. Sugar is not only addictive it is also linked to modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and more. Reducing or eliminating our consumption of refined carbohydrates is not easy. Our podcast is here to arm you with the information and inspiration you need to unhook from sugar’s seductive grip and fall in love with (and leverage the healing power of) whole foods. Becoming a whole food man/ woman is not just awesome for you, it is awesome for our children and our planet. We are swimming in processed and addictive food garbage. It is time for humans to rise up, fight back, eat real food, and feel fabulous. And it is time for sugar addicts to find the freedom they are seeking and discover the benefits and blessings of walking the path of recovery.

David Wolfe: Letting Go of Addictive Food Behaviors and Choosing Abstinence
In this episode, I interview David Wolfe who has an incredible story of sugar/ food addiction recovery.As a child, he witnessed his mother - also a food addict - morph into a different person based on what she was eating. Even at a young age, he knew processed food affected how his mother mothered him. David understands food addiction from the perspective of a child of a food addict and a food addict in recovery himself.David's recovery is particularly unique because, in addition to putting down sugar, flour and alcohol, he also weaned himself off ADHD medications (no small feat) and walked away from his artisan sourdough bread baking career (equally hard).David is living proof of the healing and transformation that is possible when we choose to let go of addictive food behaviours and embrace new and better ways of living. He will be the first to say, it wasn't easy but it was definitely worth it. Today, David is a registered dietitian and a food addiction counsellor trained under Bitten Jonsson.Enjoyed this episode?
