145 - The Addiction Chronicles: Tiffany Cornell

Unsweetened Sio

In today's episode I talk with Tiffany Cornell about her recovery journey. Tiffany is 32 years old and was born with the disease of addiction. At age 6 she was already quite overweight, suffered from severe depression and as a result got sent on her first diet retreat with her mother. Ever since then not a day has gone by that she wasn’t on a diet or obsessed with the goal to lose weight and be a different person. She tried every diet out there but never managed to achieve much. After her first weight-loss surgery, which wasn’t very successful, she stumbled across the low-carb high-fat diet, which was very popular in Sweden where she was living in her early 20s, and heard about Bitten Jonsson and sugar addiction. She immediately identified with everything Bitten said and finally started making some progress. She battled for 8 years to get more than 30 days of abstinence from her trigger foods, always slipping and sliding. A constant back and forth of withdrawal and peace and weight-loss and weight gain. Even after her second weight-loss surgery, which she agreed to even though she knew it wasn’t the fix for her real issue, she struggled a lot. In 2021 she decided enough was enough. She knew she needed help from someone that actually knew about addiction and searched for help. The universe aligned and at around 30 days of abstinence, her usual breaking point, she found SUGARx Global. She joined the 5-day challenge, invested in their 9-week program and hasn't looked back. Her life has been completely transformed. She is now 13 months off her drug foods and can barely recognize herself inside and out. She is finally doing what she's passionate about and living a life without depression. Right now, she is studying to become a food addiction specialist and primal health coach and is even running groups for SUGARx Global on the weekends.
