It Is Only Because I am Powerless That I am Willing
David Wolfe is a certified food addiction counselor and co-founder of SUGARx Global (https://www.sugarxglobal.com/), an online community dedicated to helping individuals overcome sugar and food addictions. David has been instrumental in developing impactful programs that support people successfully finding freedom from addictive food behaviors. He is also the co-author of The Fix For Cravings (https://tinyurl.com/yhnnnc3x) with Cynthia Myers-Morrison a book offering practical strategies and insights for managing cravings and maintaining long-term recovery.
David emphasizes community support, connection, and comprehensive lifestyle changes in the recovery journey. His approach blends professional expertise with personal experience to provide holistic, compassionate support for those struggling with food and sugar addiction.
At SUGARx Global, trained counselors use assessments to help clients identify patterns of food and sugar use and cravings. Many clients arrive after trying countless approaches and suffering the painful consequences of food addiction. Through personalized tools and counseling, clients begin to recognize the addictive nature of certain foods and behaviors. The process often uncovers layers of denial, shame, and guilt, creating space for acceptance and willingness to heal. Counselors guide clients to plan, prepare, and remove trigger foods, which are essential steps toward recovery.
David also addresses common misconceptions about food addiction, urging patients to educate their healthcare providers on this often misunderstood condition. He highlights the power of group support, emphasizing how shared vulnerability and collective momentum within groups can drive lasting change.
Although David’s personal story is not one of obesity, he struggled with obsessive and compulsive food thoughts and behaviors. It wasn’t until he attended the The INFACT School (https://infactschool.com/) that he fully realized his own patterns of food addiction.
This episode offers valuable, educational insights into what food addiction is, how to recognize it, and how to recover—making it essential listening for anyone seeking understanding, hope, and actionable solutions.
