Bitten Jonsson: The Reality of Sugar Addiction Recovery


Listen Later

Bitten Johnson has been sober from alcohol for 39 years, but quitting sugar? That was the real battle.

As Sweden's leading sugar addiction expert and registered nurse, Bitten discovered her food addiction while already in recovery from alcoholism. What started as a personal struggle became her life's work—training coaches and medical professionals to treat what she calls "the strongest psychoactive substance on earth."

In this candid conversation, Bitten shares her own relapse story during menopause, reveals why traditional recovery methods often fail, and explains why she believes ketogenic eating is crucial for lasting freedom. She doesn't sugarcoat the reality: recovery rates are low, relapse is common, and our toxic food environment makes healing harder than ever.

But there's hope. After decades of working with thousands of clients, Bitten has developed methods that work. She explains why treating addiction must come first, before trauma work or therapy, and shares the daily practices that have kept her free for decades.

Whether you're struggling with food cravings yourself or trying to understand why willpower isn't enough, this interview offers rare insights from someone who's walked the path and dedicated her life to lighting the way for others.
