Description

Ever wondered about the hidden dangers lurking in the everyday substances we consume? I sat down with David Kerwin, a recovered addict and a life coach with over 40 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, who recently decided to conquer his final frontier: sugar and flour addiction. With a wealth of personal and professional insight, David unravels the complex relationship between our minds, our bodies, and the substances we often take for granted.In our insightful conversation, we venture into the fascinating world of Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model that David employs to great success. David paints an intimate portrait of the IFS, which features three distinct parts: exiles, managers, and firefighters. The journey into our internal world does not stop there; we delve into eight characteristics of self, including calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, connectedness, and choice. But the stakes are more than theoretical. We also grapple with the reality of food addiction, a frequently overlooked yet potent form of addiction. Our conversation uncovers the critical role that honesty, vulnerability, and a robust recovery foundation play in overcoming these unseen battles. We also examine the unique power of IFS in managing not just substances like alcohol, drugs, caffeine, and nicotine, but also sugar and flour. So, sit back and join us for a transformative journey into the depths of addiction, recovery, and the promise of a healthier, more connected life.Florence's courses & coaching programs can be found at:www.FlorenceChristophers.comConnect with Florence on:FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

Welcome to the Kick Sugar Coach Podcast! Everyone knows alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes can be addictive, but sugar? Oh yes, sugar! It flies under the radar, but it should not. Sugar is not only addictive it is also linked to modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and more. Reducing or eliminating our consumption of refined carbohydrates is not easy. Our podcast is here to arm you with the information and inspiration you need to unhook from sugar’s seductive grip and fall in love with (and leverage the healing power of) whole foods. Becoming a whole food man/ woman is not just awesome for you, it is awesome for our children and our planet. We are swimming in processed and addictive food garbage. It is time for humans to rise up, fight back, eat real food, and feel fabulous. And it is time for sugar addicts to find the freedom they are seeking and discover the benefits and blessings of walking the path of recovery.
