061. "I wanted to make food that could heal me": Chef AJ

Chef AJ considers sugar was a drug for her. For the first 43 years of her life, she says that she was addicted to sugar and caffeine. She needed sugar to function.But in general, the medical profession doesn't really recognize sugar addiction, so her need for massive amounts of sugar was left unchecked.Not only was she overweight, but she also developed signs of pre-colon cancer. As a vegan, this wasn't being caused by animal products... but by the fact that she wasn't eating FOOD.When she got her diagnosis at the age of 43, she realized just how serious her addiction to this cheap, available and socially accepted this sugar "drug" is.Listen to Chef AJ's inspiring story of how she went from not even being able to get out of bed and needing her sugar "fix" to finding freedom from her addictive behaviour.You can find Chef AJ's YouTube channel here.To get the support and accountability you need to reclaim your health and energy, take a sneak peek into the After Sugar Club.For step-by-step guidance toward freedom from cravings, get your copy of my new book: "Break Free from Sugar Cravings".
