Life Unbinged: Kristy McCammon's Path to Food Freedom on Unsweetened Sio
Food called to me, an addiction is loud, I don't know how to fight it and I can't stop eating. So I always felt like something's wrong with me, like, well, I can't, like you were kind of saying, of all these amazing areas in my life, why can't I get this one area under control.
What happens when food becomes more than just nourishment and turns into an emotional crutch? In this episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', Siobhan Huggins sits down with Kristy McCammon, the founder of Life Unbinged, to explore this very question. Kristy opens up about her lifelong struggle with food addiction, a battle that saw her swinging between extreme dieting and uncontrollable bingeing. Food was her go-to for every emotion—whether it was sadness, joy, or even boredom.
It wasn't just about overeating; it was about a constant mental tug-of-war that left her feeling trapped and desperate. Despite having a loving family and a supportive husband, Kristy found herself at her heaviest weight, unable to break free from the grip of sugar and flour-laden junk food. The idea of moderation seemed like a pipe dream. 'Just one piece' always led to another, and another, until she was back at square one. But Kristy's story doesn't end in despair.
She shares how she discovered the liberating power of abstinence from sugar and flour. By adopting a structured food plan and building a strong support system, she managed to reclaim control over her life. One of the most compelling parts of this episode is Kristy's emphasis on the mental freedom that comes with abstinence. Without the constant noise of food cravings, she found herself with more mental space to focus on other aspects of her life.
If you've ever felt like you're in a never-ending battle with food, Kristy's journey offers both hope and practical advice. Tune in to 'Unsweetened Sio' to hear how she turned her life around and how you can too.
