By Unsweetened Sio

I have struggled with sugar addiction for most of my life and finally found my path to freedom by giving up all sugar and all flour on January 13, 2018. I never thought I would be free from the misery of addiction and am so grateful to be where I am now. This podcast is about my personal journey and transformation from sugar addict to freedom and what my life looks like day-to-day as I continue to live the sweet life without sugar. I talk about challenges and victories and hope to inspire others that are struggling with sugar addiction to find their own path to freedom.

171 - The Emotion Code and Body Code with Dr. Brad Nelson

171 - The Emotion Code and Body Code with Dr. Brad Nelson

In today's episode I interview Dr. Bradley Nelson, author and creator of "The Emotion Code" and "The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself". Over decades of work as a holistic chiropractic physician, Dr. Brad discerned that most of the physical discomfort and emotional distress his patients suffered was rooted in trapped emotions—the unseen emotional baggage we carry from hurtful life experiences.
“Each time you trap an emotion, you get stuck in the middle of whatever traumatic event you were experiencing,” he says. “So instead of moving beyond your angry moment, or a temporary bout with grief or depression, you retain this negative emotional energy within your body, potentially causing significant physical and emotional stress. Most people are amazed to find that their emotional baggage is more literal than they had imagined.”
Through his studies of ancient medical practices and modern quantum physics, Dr. Brad developed The Emotion Code®, a simple yet powerfully effective method anyone can learn to release the trapped emotions that block us from wellness. Using his expertise as a computer programmer, Dr. Brad codified his techniques and created a "mind mapping" system that made his work highly reliable and repeatable.
Dr. Brad explains these techniques with step-by-step instructions for working with the body's energy healing power in his bestselling book “The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness." First published in 2007, “The Emotion Code” was expanded and updated in a 2019 edition.
Dr. Brad’s new book, “The Body Code: Unlocking Your Body's Ability to Heal Itself,” is coming Feb. 21, 2023, from St. Martin’s Press. The Body Code system is based on the simple premise that the body is self-healing and knows what it needs in order to thrive.
The Body Code is designed to help people identify and release imbalances in six key areas ― Energies, Circuits and Systems, Toxicity, Nutrition and Lifestyle, Misalignments, and Pathogens ― that are the root causes of physical, mental, and emotional issues. By identifying and releasing these imbalances, readers become empowered to activate their body's innate healing power.

168 - The Addiction Chronicles: Valerie Root

168 - The Addiction Chronicles: Valerie Root

In today's episode I talk with one Valerie Root, who reached out to me after listening to the podcast and graciously agreed to share her current struggle with sugar and processed food.  Valerie is a wife, a mom of 4 boys (ages 9, 7, and 4 year old twins), and she works full time as a registered dietitian, so it goes without saying that her life is full! Food, nutrition, and health have always interested her. She was always the "small one" growing up, was even nicknamed “Little Val” by her family, however, she learned at a young age that food tasted amazing and made her feel good, and she found herself wanting more than the socially acceptable amounts.  Somewhere during her teenage years, she started overeating more frequently, sometimes around friends at sleepovers, other times when she was alone, and even though she felt physically ill when she over ate, the behavior persisted. She would take leftovers home from a restaurant because finishing the entire meal felt gluttonous, only to find herself eating the leftovers the minute she walked through the door.  She would stop at rest stops when she was driving by herself to and from college and load up on all the snacks, making sure to dispose of the wrappers before she arrived at school or at home. At the same time, she started restricting her food and over exercising to make up for the overeating in order to keep from gaining too much weight.  When she was 20, her older brother passed away unexpectedly, and that just heightened the binging, and food became even more of a comfort.  Before long, she was using food to grieve, to cure boredom, to procrastinate doing schoolwork, to reward herself after a chaotic day, and to numb any other uncomfortable feeling that came up. Somewhere along the way, Val also came to the conclusion that thinness was synonymous with successful and happy, so therein began her 20+ year journey of overeating and weight gain, and restriction and weight loss, in order to be thin, and therefore successful and happy.  Of course, she never felt any happier at her lowest weight.  Since becoming a dietitian, she's felt an immense amount of pressure to do all the right things nutritionally, but in reality, she knows the power that sugar and highly processed foods have over us, and she faces the same struggles that most of us face. Her goals today are to establish healthy eating habits in her kids, find peace with food and eating, and strive to accept herself as she is but work towards her healthiest self as she approaches 40.

166 - The Addiction Chronicles: Danny and Catherine Mullaney Part 2

166 - The Addiction Chronicles: Danny and Catherine Mullaney Part 2

In today's episode Danny and Catherine Mullaney are returning for a follow up interview. We will pick up the conversation from where we left off last time. (To hear their part one please go to episode #138) They live one day at a time. When they stay in the stream of life they will fall and get up, fall again and get up, etc. Falling is a part of recovery. 
As explained in their first discussion their life’s motto can be summed up from the AA Big Book, “The spiritual life is not a theory. You have to live it.” Today Danny and Catherine will unpack that a little more by talking about the 12 steps which can be described as Trusting God, cleaning house, and helping others. The joy of living or the sweet life as Siobhan likes to say is found by living honestly in community which requires internal house cleaning and being of service to their fellow man whether they are in recovery or not. As Catherine said in our initial interview, “abstinence from sugar and flour is but a beginning.” So let’s go a little deeper with the Mullaneys today in living life on life’s terms.
The Mullaneys have been married for 34 years, have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren. Catherine is a poet and a farmer in training, formerly an educator. Dan became an RN in sobriety and is nearing the celebration of 25th year of nursing.

158 - Simply Sugar Free with Sue Brown

158 - Simply Sugar Free with Sue Brown

In today's episode I talk with Sue Brown about her story and book, "Simply Sugar Free: Six Simple Steps to Conquer Sugar Addiction." Sue lost 52 pounds in 52 weeks when she was 52 by going Simply Sugar Free. Which is her code phrase for unraveling her lifelong sugar addiction.
Sue has always known that her weight problem was in her head, not her body. That sugar delivered great "highs" and moments of intense clarity and inspiration - and comfort.
As a child at breakfast, she heaped sugar on Frosted Flakes and washed it all down with Tang. After all, if it was good enough for astronauts it must be good enough for her. At lunch she shunned cold cuts for PB&J on Wonder bread. Dinner was usually mac & cheese or spaghetti.
That's a 100% carb day, recipe for an epic fail.
But that's what she wanted. What she craved. Her hard-working but poor single mother was doing the best she could, unwittingly caught in the trap between a sugar-craving child and a food industry that was (and still is ... ) happy to accommodate those cravings in the name of profit.
Along the way she went from comforting herself with sugar to using it like a drug, unable to stop. It helped her cope with what she would come to know and love as her highly-sensitive personality, a tendency toward introversion and a relentless creative drive.
For 15 years now she has been in remission from sugar addiction, and works tirelessly to help others improve their lives one step at a time, Sue is a Health Coach, and author of "Simply Sugar Free: Six Simple Steps to Conquer Sugar Addiction."

151 - Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir, Director of the INFACT School

In today's season 5 premiere, I talk with Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir.  She tells us about her own journey with food addiction, how she helped herself and then how she opened one of the first food addiction treatment programs in the world.  And after doing those things, also founded INFACT, to help professionals get the training needed to help their food addict patients.  Esther has almost 20 years of abstinence under her belt and is changing the world so that everyone can find and get treatment.  
Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir is a pioneer in the field of food addiction treatment. Once an opera singer and opera teacher, Esther was battling food addiction for most of her adult life until she discovered a twelve step program that changed her life.
Once in recovery, she opened one of the first food addiction treatment programs in the world. The MFM program in Iceland has treated many people, some of them had tried multiple diets and even surgery in an attempt to live a healthier life. Esther’s program gives them hope and the tools to achieve long term recovery. Based on the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous their success rate long term is much higher than any other medical intervention.
After establishing the treatment center, Esther realized that not only the patients needed help with food addiction but also the professionals. She then founded INFACT, an international training program for any type of professional willing to learn about food addiction and how to help those suffering with it. The six months online course is open to everyone and it gives you an excellent evidence based knowledge on Food Addiction diagnosis and treatment. The list of lecturers is very impressive, from Nicole Avena to Robert Lustig (author of Metabolical) to experienced counsellors on the field of food addiction like Phil Werdell. At the end of the course, attendees receive a Food Addiction Professional Certificate from the European Certification Board.
On top of this impressive curriculum, Esther is the Executive Director and Chair of the Food Addiction Institute, an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to support the healing of all food addicts, founded in 2005.

149 - The Addiction Chronicles: Celebrating Leslie Colburn's "1-Year Sugarversary"

In today's episode I talk with Leslie Colburn who celebrated her 1-Year Sugarversary on May 27th! Leslie reflects on the past year through her journal entries and shares with us the 10 things that really helped her, coming to terms with and accepting that she has an addiction and she takes us through a day where she compares what it looks like off sugar and flour versus how different it would have looked a year ago.  Having struggled with sugar addiction and the restrict-binge cycle for over 35 years, Leslie has finally found what works for her and has been sugar and binge-free for 389 days. The UnSweetened Sio podcast and the monthly recaps have given her the support and tools she has needed to find hope and recovery.  She hopes to encourage others who struggle with sugar addiction by sharing her story. Leslie is a mom, a wife, and an author.  Her newest children’s books Our Goodnight Prayer and YOU: A Reason to Celebrate teach children that they are a masterpiece and encourages them to let their light shine.  Giving up sugar has allowed Leslie to celebrate who she is and has given her a new hope.

147 - The Addiction Chronicles: Susan Miller's 2 Year Sugarversary!

In today's episode I talk with Susan Miller and we celebrate her 2 year sugarversary!  She talks about her continued recovery and how these days she is trying to keep it simple. Susan Miller is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who decided to give up sugar, flour, and alcohol in March of 2020. After a couple of months of slips and starts she came clean on June 1st and has not looked back despite the pandemic and a personal bout with COVID 19. Still an advocate of 12-step recovery, most recently Susan has been working toward a lifestyle of simplicity including her food plan. The absence of sugar has cleared mental fog and the emotional roller coaster of the past. This has brought back enjoyment of hobbies that have been missing for a long time including stitching samplers and reading classic literature. Having an official diagnosis of OCD and battling skin conditions in spite of giving up sugar has led her back to her roots as an NTP, discovering her own bio-individuality in regard to food. Susan remains confident that sugar and ultra-processed foods are not a part of a proper human diet and she takes every opportunity to share this message.

145 - The Addiction Chronicles: Tiffany Cornell

145 - The Addiction Chronicles: Tiffany Cornell

In today's episode I talk with Tiffany Cornell about her recovery journey.  Tiffany is 32 years old and was born with the disease of addiction. At age 6 she was already quite overweight, suffered from severe depression and as a result got sent on her first diet retreat with her mother. Ever since then not a day has gone by that she wasn’t on a diet or obsessed with the goal to lose weight and be a different person. She tried every diet out there but never managed to achieve much. After her first weight-loss surgery, which wasn’t very successful, she stumbled across the low-carb high-fat diet, which was very popular in Sweden where she was living in her early 20s, and heard about Bitten Jonsson and sugar addiction. She immediately identified with everything Bitten said and finally started making some progress. She battled for 8 years to get more than 30 days of abstinence from her trigger foods, always slipping and sliding. A constant back and forth of withdrawal and peace and weight-loss and weight gain. Even after her second weight-loss surgery, which she agreed to even though she knew it wasn’t the fix for her real issue, she struggled a lot. In 2021 she decided enough was enough. She knew she needed help from someone that actually knew about addiction and searched for help. The universe aligned and at around 30 days of abstinence, her usual breaking point, she found SUGARx Global. She joined the 5-day challenge, invested in their 9-week program and hasn't looked back. Her life has been completely transformed. She is now 13 months off her drug foods and can barely recognize herself inside and out.  She is finally doing what she's passionate about and living a life without depression. Right now, she is studying to become a food addiction specialist and primal health coach and is even running groups for SUGARx Global on the weekends.

143 - How Intermittent Fasting Differs For Women With Matty Lansdown

In today's episode I welcome back Matty Lansdown and we talk more about intermittent fasting and how it differs for women, how we should eat differently during different phases of our cycle and the impact diet culture has on us.  Starting out in the field of nutritional epi-genetics and spending several years working in hospitals as part of a disease research team, Matty believes that most disease and illness is not due to bad luck but as a result of poor nutrition and lifestyle choices.
Matty’s extensive experience allowed him to uncover the deeper challenge people have with health which isn’t about calories or kale, but in fact mindset and behavior change.
Having been on his own personal development journey, Matty is now super-passionate about showing people how to level up their health so that healthy habits and the best food choices are easy and natural.
Likewise, Matty’s weekly podcast “How to NOT Get Sick and Die”, provides his followers and clients with a deep dive into nutrition and how to develop healthy habits that last.

141 - The Addiction Chronicles: Karen Hannah

In today's episode I talk with Karen Hannah and she shares her story of recovery over the past year.  Karen is 59 years old and was a sugar and carb addict for well over 50 years. She was put on her first diet at 7 years old, lied about her age to join Weight Watchers at age 14 and has yo-yo dieted her entire life. The irony was she wasn’t that overweight as a child but then she moved to a candy store when she was 13 and that set her firmly on the path for a lifetime of addiction to sugar. She dieted her way up to morbid obesity and Type 2 diabetes as an adult. All that changed when she heard about SUGARx Global almost a year ago via the Diet Doctor website where she re-watched Bitten Jonsson’s videos, then joined her Facebook group and heard about a 5-day Crush your Cravings challenge. She was desperate at that point, as by that time her diabetes was completely out of control, she was on three medications and facing daily injections, and still couldn’t stop eating sugar and carbs even though she knew they were literally killing her. She binge watched the challenge and it was like a lightbulb went on. She had a breakthrough call with Judy Wolfe and felt like she had come home. She went cold turkey and stopped eating sugar, carbs, grains, seed oils and sweeteners and has been abstinent ever since she joined on 3 May 2021. Her life has completely changed since then.

138 - The Addiction Chronicles: Danny and Catherine Mullaney

138 - The Addiction Chronicles: Danny and Catherine Mullaney

Danny and Catherine Mullaney met early in AA recovery as young adults. Over the last 3 decades they have been living by the spiritual principles laid out in the 12 steps. Despite that, the addiction to sugar has been a thorn in their side throughout. Catherine has been addicted to sugar most of her life, been on many diets since she was 8 years old, but until last year has never attempted to arrest the addiction. Danny has made attempts to abstain from flour and sugar but has never been able to maintain long term recovery in that area. Coming to terms with sugar being a psychoactive substance has enabled them both to yield their addiction to sugar the way the alcoholic must surrender the drink. Once again, these two have another reason to trust and rely upon their Creator. Their life’s motto is taken from the AA Big Book, “The spiritual life is not a theory. You have to live it.” In this leg of their ongoing recovery their food plans differ but their commitment to exquisite self-care holistically is the same.
The Mullaneys have been married for 33 years, have 3 adult children and are currently awaiting the arrival of their 6th grandchild. Catherine is a poet and a farmer in training, formerly an educator. Dan became an RN in sobriety and has entered his 25th year of nursing.

136 - Dr. Gary Fettke, MD

In today's episode I talk with Dr. Gary Fettke about his fascinating tale of not only his own health journey and cancer diagnosis, but also of being targeted by the processed food industry for speaking about the dangers of excess sugar consumption.  Dr. Fettke is an Orthopedic Surgeon and vocal proponent of nutrition being a major component of prevention and management of modern disease. In 2014, he became targeted by the processed food industry for his opinion on the perils of excessive sugar consumption, culminating in a ‘silencing’ by the Medical Board. 2018 saw a clearance of those charges with an apology from the board. In the process of that investigation, it became apparent that the issues were not just that of sugar reduction, but that of the recommendation of animal-based protein and healthy fats in a balanced diet. He has a broad understanding of the vested interests shaping dietary guidelines and particularly those around the anti red meat agenda.

In today's episode I check back in with Leslie Colburn to see how she is doing now that she is 8 months sugar and flour free! Having struggled with sugar addiction and the restrict-binge cycle for over 35 years, Leslie has finally found what works for her and has been sugar and binge-free for 237 days. The UnSweetened Sio podcast and the monthly recaps have given her the support and tools she has needed to find hope and recovery.  She hopes to encourage others who struggle with sugar addiction by sharing her story. Leslie is a mom, a wife, and an author.  Her newest children’s book YOU: A Reason to Celebrate teaches children that they are a masterpiece and encourages them to let their light shine.  Giving up sugar has allowed Leslie to celebrate who she is and has given her a new hope.

128 - Fix Your Period With Nicole Jardim

In today's episode I talk with Nicole Jardim about our periods and how important they are for our health.  We talk about what your period is telling you about your hormonal health and how important things like nutrition, sleep and stress management are to helping balance our hormones. Nicole is a Certified Women’s Health Coach, writer, speaker, mentor, and the creator of Fix Your Period, a series of programs that empower women and menstruators to reclaim their hormone health using a method that combines evidence-based information with simplicity and sass. Her work has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people around the world in effectively addressing a wide variety of period problems, including PMS, irregular periods, PCOS, painful & heavy periods, missing periods and many more.
Rather than treating problems or symptoms, Nicole treats women and menstruators by addressing the root cause of what’s really going on in their bodies and minds. She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormonal imbalance lie in an approach that addresses the unique physiology of every person. This is essential to reclaiming and maintaining optimal health and vitality at any age.
Nicole is the author of Fix Your Period: 6 Weeks to Banish Bloating, Conquer Cramps, Manage Moodiness, and Ignite Lasting Hormone Balance, and the co-author of The Happy Balance, a recipe book filled with over 80 hormone balancing recipes.

126 - The Addiction Chronicles: Ed Wassef

In today's episode I talk with Ed Wassef and he shares his very powerful story of addiction and recovery. Ed found his solution to the disease of food addiction by committing to three pertinent things. He lives and works a daily 12 step program, follows an abstinent food plan and connects every day with like minded individuals. Ed began his program from food addiction in late 2016 but only through the  acceptance of his disease has he been able to achieve over 1 year of abstinence from his drug foods.  In that time, he has been able to deal with the challenges of life while vastly improving relationships with others. Not only has Ed  dropped his old limiting beliefs, he has also dropped 150 lbs along the way.  Ed’s journey of recovery has lead him to learning who he is and onto the path of discovering his purpose. He has found purpose in sharing his story, especially reaching those who connect with a similar past. Ed’s trauma, grief and depression caused him to seek help from various professionals yet all were unsuccessful . Only by facing his food addiction and working his program has he healed from his past and the addiction that led him to a peak weight of over 500 pounds.

124 - Mike Collins of SugarAddiction.com & The Quit Sugar Summit

In today's episode, I talk with Mike Collins two years and 100 episodes after our first interview!  Mike believes sugar addiction is very real and not to be taken lightly. As a person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder for over thirty-six years, he took a very keen interest in what sugar was doing to him and his friends in early recovery. After much research and experimentation - he quit sugar with the help of amazing mentors. He then raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years old and as they grew he rewrote the rules for sugar and kids in childhood. He takes very seriously his stewardship of SugarAddiction.com and the QuitSugarSummit.com and aims to provide information and community for anyone wanting to curb or quit sugar.
His book “The Last Resort Sugar Detox” has been read by hundreds of thousands of people and his online 30-Day Challenge Sugar Freedom Challenge has been successfully completed by thousands.

123 - Life Unbinged with Kristy McCammon

123 - Life Unbinged with Kristy McCammon

In today's episode I talk to Kristy McCammon, founder of Life Unbinged. Most of Kristy’s life was spent being overweight and food obsessed.  Unfortunately, food became her friend and comfort at a very young age. This set up a lifetime of dependence on food for every emotion; sadness, joy, fear, excitement, happiness, anger, boredom, chaos – you name the emotion and food was the answer. She was in a battle with food daily. She was either white knuckling her way to stay out of the food or was overeating and bingeing – there was no in between. No matter what she tried, she simply could not let go of sugar and flour laden junk food. It had truly become a stronghold in her life that kept her enslaved to food. The idea of moderation always sounded ideal – just one piece, just one bowl, just one slice, just one….. that never worked for her. Once she had JUST ONE, her brain was actively demanding more. She was in a place of desperation and her weight was the highest it had ever been.
She had an amazing husband of 25 years who loved her unconditionally, 5 amazing children, plenty of wonderful friends and family, and a loving relationship with God – truly a life that she loved, yet she could not get her relationship with food under control. She often prayed for God to deliver her from food addiction and take away all cravings for unhealthy food. She tried every diet and plan available. In past weight loss attempts, there was usually short term success, but eventually she was right back to obsessing over food and bingeing on sugar and flour filled foods. She began praying for a permanent solution out of this food obsession. She was ready to fully surrender!  After one such prayer, she came across the idea of food boundaries. This is simply the idea of following boundaries in regards to food; no sugar, no flour, 3 meals a day, and measured portions. She DID have to eat food to survive, but  DID NOT have to eat sugar and flour. She knew in that moment that her rescue boat had arrived and she just had to jump in and paddle! She began eating amazing, delicious, and abundant amounts of food. A lifestyle change, rather than a diet, was exactly what she needed!
Since then, she has released 150 pounds and gone from a size 28 down to a size 12! Her head is clear and all mental food chatter is gone! She can confidently say that she found food freedom and is FINALLY free from this burden of food addiction. Sometimes, living sugar and flour free is hard, but being obese and food obsessed was much harder! Now she can FULLY ENJOY the life that she has ALWAYS LOVED.
