Nothing seems to work for you when it comes to quitting sugar.
You’ve tried everything. The cleanses. The detoxes. The willpower approach. The “everything in moderation” method. The cold turkey attempts that lasted three days.
More importantly, you feel all alone in your battle with sugar temptations, cravings, detoxes, and withdrawals.
Like you’re the only one who can’t figure this out. Like everyone else has it together and you’re the one who’s broken.
Would it bring you comfort to know that almost ALL of our 27+ Kick Sugar Summit speakers were in the same place as you?
They were.
Most took up their profession of helping others with the same issue – S.U.G.A.R. – because they had suffered personally. They didn’t become experts in sugar addiction from textbooks. They became experts because they lived it, struggled with it, and finally found their way out.
After 35 years sugar-free and helping tens of thousands break free from sugar addiction, I can tell you this: the people who succeed at helping others quit sugar are almost always people who struggled to quit themselves. That struggle creates a level of understanding no degree can provide.

Why You Feel So Alone in This Battle
Let me validate something for you right now:
You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
Sugar addiction is one of the most isolating struggles because:
- Society doesn’t take it seriously
- It’s everywhere – you can’t avoid your trigger
- Friends and family sabotage you (“Just one bite!”)
- Medical professionals dismiss it
- You’ve failed before
- It seems like everyone else can handle sugar except you
But here’s the truth: millions are fighting the same battle. Doctors, lawyers, executives, teachers, nurses, parents-people from every background struggle in silence.
Shame keeps them quiet.
That’s why the Kick Sugar Summit is powerful: you get to hear from people who’ve been EXACTLY where you are.
When the Experts Were Once the Struggling
Many Summit speakers are MDs and PhDs.
But what makes them different?
Most of them started because they struggled with sugar.
They didn’t study sugar from a distance. They lived the shame, the cravings, the failures-and eventually broke free.
They understand:
- Late-night cravings
- The shame spiral
- Emotional eating triggers
- The loneliness
- The desperation to quit
This is experience-based wisdom, not theory.
Florence’s Story: 20 Years of Trying
My co-host Florence tried for over 20 years to get off sugar.
And then one insight-ONE-shared by a speaker changed everything.
Twenty years. And one breakthrough.
Sometimes you’re not missing everything… just one piece of the puzzle.
Why Different Approaches Work for Different People
After 35 years of research and coaching:
There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
That’s why the Summit features 27+ experts:
- Medical doctors
- Psychologists
- Nutritionists
- Recovery specialists
- Researchers
- Former sugar addicts
- Authors and educators
The more perspectives you hear, the higher your chances of finding your breakthrough.
The Science of Sugar Addiction (Why This Isn’t Your Fault)
Research shows sugar activates the same reward pathways as cocaine.
This isn’t weakness. It’s biology.
What Sugar Does to Your Brain
1. Dopamine Hijacking
Your brain needs more sugar over time to get the same reward.
2. Serotonin Manipulation
Sugar becomes an emotional “quick fix.”
3. Insulin Resistance
Your body creates cravings because of blood sugar swings.
4. Gut Microbiome Changes
Bad bacteria demand more sugar.
5. Neurological Rewiring
Your brain builds a “sugar solves everything” pathway.
You’re not weak. You’re addicted to a substance engineered to hook your brain.

FAQ
Q: What is the Kick Sugar Summit? A: The Kick Sugar Summit is a free event featuring 27+ speakers who are experts in sugar addiction – including MDs, PhDs, psychologists, nutritionists, recovery specialists, researchers, and former sugar addicts. Each speaker shares their knowledge, methods, and personal experiences with sugar addiction. The summit covers physical, emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of breaking free from sugar.
Q: Why do the Summit speakers understand sugar addiction so well? A: Almost all Kick Sugar Summit speakers struggled with sugar addiction personally before becoming experts. They didn’t learn about sugar addiction from textbooks – they lived it, felt the shame, experienced the failures, and found their way out. Their advice comes from tested wisdom and lived experience, not just academic theory. This creates understanding that no degree alone can provide.
Q: How long does it typically take to find what works for quitting sugar? A: The timeline varies greatly. Summit co-host Florence tried for 20 years before finding her breakthrough from one insight shared by a speaker. Some people find their answer quickly, others take longer. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why exposing yourself to multiple perspectives (like the 27+ Summit speakers) increases odds that something will click for your specific situation.
Q: Why do I feel so alone in struggling with sugar? A: Sugar addiction is isolating because society doesn’t take it seriously, it’s everywhere and unavoidable, friends and family often sabotage recovery attempts, medical professionals dismiss it with “just moderate,” repeated failures create shame, and it seems like everyone else can handle sugar normally. But millions of people are fighting this same battle – they’re just not talking about it publicly due to shame.
Q: What makes the Kick Sugar Summit different from other health summits? A: The Summit differs because every speaker has personal experience with sugar addiction, it presents multiple approaches rather than one dogma, it comprehensively covers physical/emotional/psychological/practical aspects, it’s completely free, and it’s created by people who understand sugar addiction firsthand. It helps you find the specific approach that works for you, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Q: What topics do the Kick Sugar Summit speakers cover? A: Speakers cover the physical component (genetics, withdrawal, hidden sugars, what to eat), emotional component (triggers, trauma connection, shame cycle, new coping mechanisms), practical component (handling cravings, social situations, meal planning, slip-ups), and recovery component (treating sugar as addiction, community support, long-term maintenance, abstinence vs. reduction). Each speaker brings unique expertise and perspective.
