“The fact that I wasn’t depressed anymore was to me the most amazing thing”: From Suicidal Depressive to Dynamic Septuagenerian

Shownotes

Stupid Idea of The Week

….is the idea that changing the language of the diet industry with no mindshifting makes any difference whatsoever to the misery it is inflicting on millions.

Main section

In this week’s Eating Coach radio show (podcast), we hear from Joan Sotkin about how giving up sugar changed her life. This is a fascinating story you won’t want to miss. A suicidal depressive and valium addict until she gave up sugar, Jaon ignored her doctor’s ignorance (“Joan, you’re just a hypochondriac”) she took matters into her own hands and made him give her a glucose tolerance test.

Highlights include:

What happened when she tried sugar one year in
What the Moving Stupids are
What she initially stopped eating apart from sugar and how her diet is different today
How low-dose allergen immunotherapy helped
How this challenge transformed other areas of her life, for example Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
