Tired of Sugar Cravings That Won’t Quit? There’s a Reason—And a Way Forward
If you’ve ever felt like you’re addicted to sugar—reaching for that cookie even when you’re full, or feeling foggy and irritable when you try to cut back—you’re not imagining it. Science shows that sugar can activate the brain’s reward system in ways that overlap with addictive substances, which is why willpower alone often isn’t enough.
But here’s what’s often left out: you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through deprivation. Real change starts with understanding—not punishment.
That’s the spirit behind the 13th Annual Quit Sugar Summit, a free, online event running January 12–18, 2026, hosted by Mike Collins—a longtime advocate for sugar awareness who’s lived sugar-free for over 35 years and previously served as Chairman of the Board for a Food Addiction Institute.
Event Details: Event Name: 13th Annual Quit Sugar Summit Event Starts: January 12 2026 Event Cost: FREE to Attend Online
Important note: This summit is educational, not medical advice. If you have diabetes, an eating disorder, or other health conditions, always consult your doctor or a registered dietitian before making dietary changes.
What You’ll Actually Learn (No Hype, Just Clarity)
Over 7 days, 47+ speakers—including physicians, researchers, nutritionists, and behavioral health experts—will share practical, science-informed perspectives on sugar and its role in modern health. Featured voices include:
- Dr. Robert Lustig, pediatric endocrinologist and author of Fat Chance
- Dr. Nick Norwitz, neuroscientist and ketogenic medicine expert
- Dr. Joan Ifland, known for her work on food addiction mechanisms
- Megan Koehn, RDN, registered dietitian specializing in metabolic health
- Bitten Jonsson, nurse and advocate for food addiction recovery
Topics are grounded in current understanding of nutrition and behavior, such as:
- How sugar affects dopamine, insulin, and long-term metabolic health
- Why added sugars hide in “healthy” packaged foods (yes, even granola and sauces)
- The science behind sugar cravings—and how to reduce them without extreme restriction
- The link between high sugar intake and inflammation, aging, and cognitive fog
- What the evidence really says about artificial sweeteners
- How food marketing shapes our choices (and how to see through it)
While some claims—like “sugar is 8x more addictive than cocaine”—are often cited in popular media, the scientific reality is more nuanced. Human addiction involves complex social, psychological, and biological factors that don’t translate directly from rodent studies. The summit presents these ideas as part of a broader conversation, not as settled fact.
Who Is This For?
This summit may be helpful if you:
- Feel stuck in cycles of sugar cravings and guilt
- Want to understand food labels and hidden sugars
- Are curious about metabolic health, brain fog, or energy crashes
- Work in wellness, coaching, or nutrition (as continuing education)
It is not a diet plan, detox protocol, or substitute for personalized medical or nutritional care.
Free, Flexible, and Designed for Real Life
The best part? It’s completely free to attend live (January 12–18, 2026)—no credit card required. Sessions are pre-recorded and released daily, so you can watch on your own schedule.
