Episode 12 - Mike Collins

In this show I have the pleasure to sit down with one of the foremost experts in sugar addiction and discover why sugar addiction is such a serious thing and what we can do to stop it.

Michal Collins is a former sugar addict and takes this addiction very seriously. For the past 30 years he has not consumed sugar in any form – at least not intentionally. Interestingly his interest in sugar addiction began in the early days of his 12 step recovery from drugs and alcohol abuse. As he weaned himself off of these substances he noticed that his relationship to and his consumption of sugar was beginning to resemble his other addictions. Curious and concerned, he started to talk about this with his recovery buddies. This lead him to decide to quit sugar with the help of some amazing mentors. This was over 3 decades ago.

After many years of a successful business career, online selling software and information Michael decided that what really made him happy was helping people with their addictions. He has written a book on sugar addiction and developed an intensive 3-hour video-based course of the same name - “Quit Sugar Now”. 

He is also the Chairman of the board of The Food Addiction Institute. A certified US 501c Non-Profit founded in 2005.  oodaddictioninstitute.org/about/board-of-directors/

A firm believer in community support, he has included membership in his private recovery forum with the course. The book and the course are available online at his website www.sugaraddiction.com.  Which also offers resources, research, quizzes, and programs of recovery. The book is available on Amazon and is free in the US.  amazon.com/Last-Resort-Sugar-Detox-Guide-ebook/dp/B07JNSBVX4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=XKMZV0TVE08&keywords=the+last+resort+sugar+detox&qid=1572289051&sprefix=the+last+resort+sugar%2Caps%2C189&sr=8-1
