Episode Description:
Today's episode of the podcast is a very special recording of an interview I did with Florence Christophers for the Keep the Weight Off Summit in December 2020. Florence is the host of the online annual "Kick Sugar Summit." As a recovered sugar addict herself, Florence teaches people how to overcome their sugar addiction through online courses, private and group coaching and live events.

In this interview, Florence helped me and all of our listeners better understand the difference between sugar addiction and emotional eating, and why it's important to address BOTH aspects if we want to overcome food addiction and obesity. I consider Florence a wise colleague and a great friend, and I hope you enjoy our discussion!

Episode Highlights:
28:27 The best research we have is that 8-15% of the population are truly biochemically, physiologically, addicted to sugar.

33:28 There's are three categories of sugar consumers. There's the sugar user, the sugar abuser, and there's the sugar addicts.

38:56 So if you are listening to this and you're like, oh, dang, I think I might be in a sugar addict, well no problem sister (or brother), because we have all the right brain chemistry and nervous system to be able to go and have an absolute, fantastic life on something that isn't self-destructive to our bodies and our minds.
