301. "Recovery from sugar addiction is a zigzag journey": Paige
2026/10/18
In this episode, I’m joined by Paige, who explains what "nervous system regulation" means with relation to recovery from sugar addiction.  Paige’s message is that when we reach for food under stress, the real issue is a nervous system that has gone into emergency mode. A calm brain doesn’t crave, so her approach starts with calming the body and using the small pause between a thought and an action. Paige also talks about why the third week after reducing or cutting sugar is usually the hardest, and what happens to your taste buds and cravings if you keep going. She believes real change comes from slowly retraining the brain, one small step at a time, and that every time you get through a craving, the next one comes back a little weaker. Paige goes into more detail in her new book: Real Food Recovery: If Food isn’t the Answer, What’s the Question? Paige has only one rule when it comes to recovery. Listen to this episode to hear what it is. Find Paige's book here.

300. Back to basics, and why this podcast exists
2026/10/11
It's episode 300 of the Life After Sugar podcast! Woo hoo! To celebrate, I go back to some of the first things I ever talked about on this podcast, back in 2021, and to why the show exists in the first place.  Sometimes we forget the basics, so I think that the 300th episode is a good place to remember them. In this episode, you'll hear about: some different names for sugar, including the Cuba story that made me realize the white crystals we call sugar originally come from a plantwhy "pure" sugar is mostly marketing, given the dozen or more industrial steps between the sugarcane or sugar beet and the white crystalsthe chemistry of sugar, in simple terms: most sugars are built from glucose and fructosehow maple syrup and honey compare with table sugar on a molecular levelthe fruit question: do I eat fruit, and where I get my vitamins if I don't eat much of itwhat "life after sugar" and freedom from cravings means in real life, which is why this podcast existsTo get personalized guidance to stop emotional eating and break free from sugar cravings, plus support and accountability... join the 12-week program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.

299. How to maintain weight loss and a sugar free life: Susan
2026/10/04
Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD, is a former food addict and the founder of Bright Line Eating. She and I recorded Episode 125 back in June 2023. Susan is back on the podcast to talk about her new book, Maintain, the fifth book in her series about food addiction and weight loss. In this episode, we talk about what happens after you lose the weight and why maintaining it can be harder than people expect.  A big part of that is learning what to do when you’re no longer using food, especially foods that contain refined sugar and flour, to deal with boredom, stress or difficult emotions. Susan explains the three identity shifts she believes are important for maintaining weight loss: becoming devoted, resourced and liberated. We also talk about dopamine and why some of us are more likely to reach for food when we’re stressed or tired, and Susan shares her 90-second practice for feeling an emotion instead of trying to make it go away. And you'll hear about how to develop the skills to respond differently to cravings and emotions, because sugar can keep us stuck in the cycle of using food to avoid feelings, rather than learning how to deal with those feelings in a different way.

298. "Sugar cravings are linked to dehydration": John
2026/09/27
In this episode, I’m talking with John about sugar cravings, hydration, and what he calls “intracellular hydration.” John shares his story of growing up in Columbus, Ohio, becoming a sugar addict, and eventually developing a very different perspective on health and the role of sugar and especially hydration in the body. John surprises me with his fascinating “marbles and sponges” analogy to explain intracellular hydration. He also explains why he believes sugar cravings are connected to dehydration. And we talk about something I'm sure you can relate to: when it comes to sugar, moderation simply doesn’t work for everyone. John shares his own experience with sugar cravings and what changed for him when he stopped craving sugar. Find John here.

2026/09/20
Martin was a guest on the Life After Sugar podcast on Episode 110 in February 2023. He’s back to ask me some questions about sugar, to talk about his new book, and also about the concept of an "irrevocable commitment". Martin practises intermittent fasting.

296. "Some people can moderate sugar, some can't": Heike
2026/09/13
Heike grew up in Germany eating lots of sugar and large portions, and she was overweight by the time she was a teenager. After moving to the United States in her early 20s, she discovered a very different food environment than the one she was expecting. She was surprised by how much fast food, fried food, burgers, French fries and starch-heavy foods there were, and how little emphasis there seemed to be on vegetables. In this episode, we talk about: how some people can moderate sugar, and others have an all-or-nothing relationship with it and need to abstain“choosing to choose” — taking responsibility for your food choices instead of feeling powerless around sugarthe diet culture, learning to trust yourself again, and finding an approach that works for youGet Heike's book, Pursue Your Spark here.

295. What we’re getting wrong about nutrition and sugar: Dr. Nathan
2026/09/06
Dr. Nathan Bryan has spent years researching human health and physiology... but during his medical training, he received zero dedicated training in nutrition. In this episode, we talk about what he learned after his medical training and through his research, and how the nutritional quality of our food has degraded over time. Dr. Nathan and I talk about how we consumers need to educate ourselves (which is easier said than done with all the confusing info out there!). We also talk about sugar, insulin resistance, intermittent fasting, nutrient deficiencies, and whether supplements can help fill the gaps in our diet. Dr. Nathan challenges some of the assumptions we’ve come to accept about nutrition and health, and explains what his research has taught him about what your body actually needs (hint: it's NOT sugar!).

294. How to end sugar cravings for good (without diets or willpower)
2026/08/30
You probably don't need another diet, another list of foods to avoid, or another reminder about what you already know you should be doing. If you've been struggling with sugar cravings for years, the problem may not be a lack of information... or a lack of willpower. It may be that you're trying to change a deeply ingrained pattern without the right process, support, and accountability. In this episode, I explain why so many capable, motivated women can know exactly what they want to change and still find themselves back in the same cycle of cravings, restriction, giving in, and starting over. (I know — I've been there!) I also explain what makes the Freedom from Cravings Formula different, and why having guidance while you actually implement the changes can make the process much more efficient and effective than trying to figure it all out on your own. By the time you're 50, you've been dealing with sugar cravings for years. And you don't want to waste any more time and energy obsessing about food or your next sweet snack. This episode will help you understand the missing piece and what it could look like to finally feel free from cravings. And if you're wondering whether the Freedom from Cravings Formula could be the right fit for you, book free a call with me to talk about where you are now, where you want to be, and whether my approach can help you get there.

293. "I ate sugar because I didn't feel loved": Sharon
2026/08/23
For Sharon, sugar was much more than a sweet treat. Sugary foods were something she used to help her through all-nighters and cope with difficult times. But eventually, she realized that sugar was was helping her cope with difficult relationships and family issues. In this episode, Sharon shares her journey from eating brownie batter straight from the bowl to adopting a raw vegan lifestyle. She talks about the difficult events that fuelled her sugar addiction, and the moment she realized she didn't want to spend the next 40 or 50 years feeling miserable. Most importantly, Sharon explains how she came to see the connection between food, her emotions, her self-talk, and the rest of her life, and how getting off the sugar roller coaster became part of a much bigger shift in herself.

292. "Sugar, inflammation, and heart health are connected": Dr. Boone
2026/08/16
What does sugar have to do with heart disease?  According to Dr. Geoffrey Boone, preventive cardiologist, much more than most people realize.  After decades of helping people prevent heart disease, he explains how sugar contributes to inflammation, damages the lining of the arteries, and why these changes can begin years before any symptoms appear. In this episode, we talk about why Dr. Boone believes prevention still isn't the main focus of healthcare, how modern imaging can detect heart disease long before a heart attack, and why highly processed foods have become such a problem.  We also discuss why moderation isn't always realistic for people with sugar addiction, where lifestyle changes fit alongside medication, and the practical steps you can take today to protect your heart for the long term.

291. The power of support and accountability
2026/08/09
You've probably tried to stop eating sugar on your own. More than once. And it can work for a while.  You promise yourself you'll do better, you rely on willpower, and maybe you even have a few good days or weeks.  But when life gets stressful or overwhelming, it's all too easy to slip back into old habits. In this episode, I talk about why lasting freedom from sugar cravings isn't about having more knowledge or finding the perfect meal plan.  It's about getting the right support and accountability while you make changes that actually last. You'll also hear an excerpt from one of the accountability calls inside my Freedom from Cravings Formula program, where Anne shares the value of having the support of others: reassurance that there is no perfect time encouragement when life gets chaotic  accountability instead of quitting  perspective that a setback isn't failureBecause sometimes, what makes the biggest difference isn't another strategy. It's having someone there to support you and help you stay the course.

290. "Sweet foods helped me to cope with my emotions": Lisa
2026/08/02
Many of us turn to sugar or comfort food without really understanding why.  In fact, most of us haven't been taught how to name or cope with our emotions. For Lisa, emotional eating became a way of coping with life's difficult moments when she was a child. It wasn't until much later in life that she began to uncover what she really needed to do when her emotions overwhelmed her. In this episode, Lisa shares how childhood experiences, including the loss of her brother at the age of six, shaped her relationship with food.  We talk about emotional eating, self-compassion, people-pleasing, and why cravings are often pointing to something much deeper than hunger.  Lisa also shares practical ways to pause before reacting to a craving, recognize what you're really feeling, and begin responding with kindness rather than self-criticism.

2026/07/26
A dramatic sugar crash during a swimming race at just 11 years old became the turning point that shaped Jodie's entire approach to health. In this episode, Jodi shares how that early experience led her to question the role of sugar, discover the power of whole foods, and become much more aware of how food affects the body.  We also explore inflammation, the gut and skin microbiome, why what you eat shows up on your skin, and how Jodi's decision to eat differently led to her creating a line of natural plant-based skincare products. Jodi talks about about paying attention to your body's signals, and challenging what we've been taught about food. And it can all begin with a few simple changes. Find Jodi here.

288. GLP-1 drugs versus cutting sugar
2026/07/19
Did you know that your body already makes its own natural version of Ozempic? In this episode, you'll hear how GLP-1 works as a natural hormone, and why drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy exist: they copy the same hormone but are designed to last much longer. You'll hear how the GLP-1 that naturally disappears from your body in two minutes got turned into an appetite-reducing drug that lasts a full week. You'll also hear about what happens to people's weight after they stop taking GLP-1 drugs, as well as what leptin resistance actually is, and whether cutting sugar can reverse it better than GLP-1 drugs.  Are GLP-1 drugs for you? Or does cutting sugar give the same result? And are you ready to go deeper and ask yourself why you turn to sugar to fill an emotional need? Only you have the answer! (But I will give you a few...)

287. "I reversed my prediabetes when I cut out processed sugar": Dr. Jonar
2026/07/12
In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Jonar, an internal medicine physician and lifestyle medicine expert, about his own struggle with processed sugar. Sugar was at the heart of Dr. Jonar's emotional eating, insulin resistance, and prediabetes.  He explains why so many chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle, why nutrition receives so little attention in medical training, and how processed sugar affects the brain, the gut microbiome, and long-term health. We also discuss sugar addiction, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, the role of the microbiome, and why changing your habits is more often the key to lasting health than taking medications. Dr. Jonar's story offers you practical insights and an encouraging reminder that deep and lasting change is possible, even after a diagnosis of prediabetes. Find Dr. Jonar here.
