Mike Collins
Mike believes sugar addiction is very real and not to be taken lightly. As a person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder for over thirty-six years, he took a very keen interest in what sugar was doing to him and his friends in early recovery.
After much research and experimentation, he quit sugar with the help of amazing mentors. He then raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years old and, as they grew, he rewrote the rules for sugar and kids in childhood.
He takes very seriously his stewardship of SugarAddiction.com and QuitSugarSummit.com and aims to provide information and community for anyone wanting to curb or quit sugar.
His book “The Last Resort Sugar Detox” has been read by hundreds of thousands of people and his online 30-Day Sugar Freedom Challenge has been successfully completed by thousands.
