Breaking the Chains: A Psychologist's Battle with Sugar Addiction

I think competence in sugar addiction could have made a big difference in my own profession.
Imagine being a psychologist with all the tools and knowledge to help others, yet finding yourself trapped by your own sugar addiction. That's the reality Nina Bang faced, and in this gripping episode of Sukkerpodden, she opens up about her struggle. Nina takes us back to her childhood, revealing how her sugar dependency began and the toll it took on her life, both personally and professionally.
Despite her expertise, she found it incredibly challenging to break free from the grip of sugar. She shares candidly about her journey to becoming 'Frisk uten sukker' (Healthy Without Sugar) and how this transformation has impacted her life. Nina also reflects on the importance of understanding sugar addiction within her profession and how it could benefit others in similar positions. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate; it can affect anyone, regardless of their background or expertise.
As Nina puts it, 'It's not about being weak or lacking willpower, it's about the biology of addiction'. Tune in to hear her story and gain insights into overcoming sugar addiction.
