In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Raw Minds, we delve into a topic that silently impacts millions: sugar addiction. Our guest, Michael Collins, a pioneer in the field and the visionary behind SugarAddiction.com and the Quit Sugar Summit, sheds light on the unseen chains sugar places on our physical and mental health.

Michael’s journey is both inspiring and relatable. From his personal battle with sugar addiction to becoming a globally recognized advocate for sugar-free living, his story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Through candid discussions, he reveals the insidious ways sugar infiltrates our lives—disguised as comfort, reward, or even necessity—only to wreak havoc on our bodies and minds.

This episode explores the deep psychological roots of sugar dependency and its parallels to other addictions. Michael shares the science behind how sugar hijacks the brain, creating a cycle of cravings and emotional reliance. He provides actionable strategies to identify and overcome these patterns, along with heartfelt encouragement for those struggling to make that first step toward freedom.

We also touch on the societal normalization of sugar consumption and its impact on children, families, and communities. With raw honesty and expert guidance, Michael empowers listeners to challenge the status quo and reclaim control over their health and well-being.
