117: Breaking Free from Sugar: The Truth About Cravings, Addiction & Healing With Michael Collins


Listen Later

If you’ve ever said, “I just can’t stop eating sugar,” this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Michael Collins, aka the Sugar Free Man—who’s been sugar-free for over 35 years and has helped tens of thousands of people break free from sugar addiction.

Together, we dive deep into the emotional, physical, and neurological effects sugar has on the body, why willpower alone isn’t enough to quit, and the surprising connection between sugar and your brain chemistry.

You’ll hear about:
  • The connection between childhood emotions and sugar addiction
  • Why sugar and flour are more than just “empty calories”
  • How sugar keeps cravings and inflammation alive
  • What it really takes to find food freedom (hint: it's not about moderation!)
  • How to finally feel in control of your cravings with real, lasting support
Michael’s approach may be different from what you’ve heard before—but if you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this conversation could be the missing link.

🎧 Tune in to learn why going sugar-free might just be the most powerful thing you can do for your health, energy, and peace of mind.
