The Problem Isn't Self-Discipline. It's Dysregulation. 

Many people struggling with compulsive overeating and sugar addiction have already tried everything to get sugar-free and stay free. Everything. Diets, therapy, drugs, surgery, the 12 Steps, etc.

When nothing seems to work in the long term, it is easy to get discouraged. To feel helpless and hopeless.

Fortunately, there really is a way to heal food issues. To find peace with food. To stop bingeing, overeating, obsessing, and returning to sugar. There really is!

The missing link for many of us who continue to struggle with our food choices and behaviours — despite decades of effort — is the fact that we have a dysregulated nervous system. We are running on way too much adrenaline (fight-or-flight), which can lead to a collapsed state of exhaustion/fatigue (freeze). These are the hallmarks of a dysregulated nervous system. Having a dysregulated nervous system profoundly complicates food recovery. It can make letting go of sugar difficult.

When dysregulation (trauma) is in play, a different path to food recovery is required. Once your nervous system is addressed, and a felt sense of safety is restored, recovery can get traction and stick.

The Core Issue

The way forward is to stop thinking that food is the core problem.
It is not. It is the tip of the iceberg. 

The core issue is 
nervous system dysregulation. It is a perpetual felt sense of not being safe. It's a sense of not having enough time, energy, money or support. All of this leads to feelings of overwhelm, and overwhelm leads to the food.

Modern foods are especially good at taking the edge off stress, increasing energy, boosting our brain chemicals, jacking adrenaline, and so much more. Our body knows this. So instead of just removing ultra-processed food, we also need to remove our need for its neurophysiological effects.

That requires a nervous system-centric intervention. This intervention goes way beyond abstinence, meditation and self-care. Those are great, but they do not, in and of themselves, heal an 'adrenalized' body.

“The key to recovery that sticks, that feels good, feels sustainable, and brings the desired benefits… is to stop making food recovery only about the food (abstinence) or only about the feelings (trauma).

It is both. Definitely both."

What Trauma-Informed Sugar Addiction Recovery Actually Looks Like


Trauma-informed sugar addiction recovery is not about controlling your food, following a meal plan perfectly. It is not about trying harder or doing more. It's not about rigid food rules, although food structure and meal plans are helpful and wonderful. 

It is about understanding the dynamic relationship between food and trauma. Trauma = chronic overwhelm. And chronic overwhelm = dysregulated nervous system.

A dysregulated nervous system will crave sugar, carbohydrates, and volume because your body is trying to survive. Sugar mobilizes us. It overrides fatigue. It suppresses discomfort. It makes overwhelm feel manageable. It helps us stay one step ahead of our to-do list and the threat of 'not enough'. Not enough time, money, energy, and support...

Therefore, addressing the food alone is not enough. And yet addressing the overwhelm without stabilizing nutrition is not enough either.

We must work with both.

We must support the body through structured, stabilizing food practices. And we must help the nervous system learn new pathways to safety, regulation, and resilience. This is what I will teach you to do.

For many, what I teach is the missing link in lasting food recovery because it addresses what drives disordered eating.

3 Pillars of Food Recovery

1
ADDICTION FUNDAMENTALS

My coaching integrates food addiction recovery best practices, including my signature SANE Eating Protocol™ — designed to eliminate cravings, support weight loss, boost energy, lift mood, and stabilize blood sugar.

We’ll focus on practical strategies like eating enough protein to stimulate your natural GLP-1, avoiding common relapse traps, navigating social situations with confidence, and preparing fast, simple meals.

You’ll learn to recognize the addictive voice, shift out of the diet–deprivation–binge cycle, release body shame, and begin prioritizing daily self-care.

Addiction is real. And these tools work.

2

SOMATIC HEALING

Learning how to settle, soothe, and restore your nervous system is a life-changing skill. Once you learn how, your life will never feel the same again.

The process begins with awareness and deepens through daily practice. I teach somatic protocols that strengthen your capacity to be with feelings and sensations — all of them — without needing food to manage them.

I will teach you how to relax into unpleasant feelings instead of using food to dull them. These tools will help you stay present, feel grounded, resourced and safe. You will learn how to shift out of the stress response and into rest, digest, relax, and repair.

They also help untangle the internal parts that resist giving up sugar — so recovery feels less like a battle.

3

MIND MASTERY

You will identify and shift the negative thoughts, emotional patterns, and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in unconscious cycles of struggle.

You will clarify your deeper desires and learn how to align with them internally - becoming an energetic match for the health and peace with food you seek.

Through guided meditations, affirmations, and mental rehearsal, you’ll rewire your internal state to support lasting recovery.

When your inner world shifts, your outer behaviours follow. 

Until you deeply know that letting go of unwanted food behaviours is safe, possible, and that you are worthy of it, change won't stick.

This work is right for you if you:

  • Have tried everything and keep coming back to sugar
  • Know there's trauma or stress underneath the pattern
  • Are tired of willpower-based approaches that don't last
  • Want nervous system support, not just meal planning
  • Are ready for deep, paced work—not a quick fix
  • Need an approach that's trauma-informed & shame-free
  • Are willing to turn toward discomfort and build capacity
  • Want sustainable recovery, not endless effort

This work is NOT right for you if you:

  • Are seeking trauma therapy. What I do is NOT therapy.
  • You are seeking fast results. This is a slow, gentle process.
  • Are unable or unwilling to work with body sensations and feelings

How I Support You in Recovery

My work integrates food addiction best recovery practices with somatic-based nervous system
regulation. I also work with law of attraction principles. It is a powerful combo, let me tell you!

I am excited to share all of this with you.

I am confident you will find what I teach to be life-changing in every way possible.

Stabilizing Meal Plan

Finding the right meal plan for you is essential for sustainable recovery. 
Using my signature SANE Eating Protocol, we will create a personalized, flexible meal plan for you to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, support a healthy weight, improve energy and lift your mood. It is intended to feel abundant and good, not depriving or rigid.

While I believe abstinence is the ultimate harm reduction choice, I also work with clients who are walking a harm reduction path to recovery. 

Support & Accountability

One-on-one coaching provides focused, personalized support for meaningful change. In our sessions, I offer guidance, practical strategies, encouragement, and steady accountability. Sugar addiction is a deeply ingrained, socially normalized behavior often connected to trauma and patterns of self-neglect. Our work together goes far beyond eliminating sugar—it supports healing at the root and opens the door to a deeper, more fulfilling recovery journey.

The Sugar Dragon™

I am the only sugar coach teaching a technique from the drug and alcohol recovery field, based on the work of Jack Trimpey and Rational Recovery. It teaches you how to identify and ignore your "addictive voice" — the part that suggests and justifies sugar use.

While I no longer see it as the whole solution, it can be an excellent tool within a broader recovery process — especially for those who resonate with a clear, cognitive strategy for interrupting cravings.

Holistic Recovery

Addiction cannot be healed through physical abstinence alone. Abstinence is not the end goal of recovery. It is a doorway into deeper healing.

We become abstinent so the nervous system can settle, unresolved trauma, repressed emotions, and unbearable life circumstances can surface and be addressed.

If we don't know how to do this self-regulation work, we will relapse. It is just a matter of time. 

When we obsess over food and weight while neglecting the inner work, the cycle continues.

My approach to recovery supports a whole-life transformation, not just a diet change. Following a perfect meal plan perfectly, is lovely, but it is not recovery. They are two different things.

Relapse Prevention

Getting sugar-free is often the first step; staying sugar-free requires ongoing support and skills. Many people relapse not because they lack commitment, but because they haven’t been taught how to recognize early warning signs of nervous system dysregulation.

Chronic stress, neglecting self-care, lack of planning, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty tolerating discomfort all increase vulnerability. Relapse-prevention skills are essential for building lasting freedom from sugar.

In my coaching programs, I address the deeper patterns that perpetuate disordered eating. Patterns that specifically involve overriding the 'capacity' of your body.


Metabolic Recovery Tools

Understanding how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and daily rhythms can be a powerful part of recovery.

I will teach you how to use tools like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) to gain real-time insights into your unique metabolic patterns. This data helps us stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings and mood swings, and clarify what supports your recovery.

Sugar is hard on our bodies. For this reason, my packages include the option of taking a world-class, clinically proven micronutrient supplement to support brain health.  This supplement helps with the repair of our bodies and the replenishment of missing nutrients.

    Your technique, Florence, is life-changing, and I will be forever grateful. It works. Three months later I have lost 29 pounds. I really enjoyed the modules of information and technique of cornering our sugar gremlin/dragon.

    Barb S. , Past Client

  • Better Health Coaching Inc.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I really liked all the information on the science of addiction. This helped me to understand I’m not weak and it’s not a character flaw. I have lost over 50 lbs. It has been 8 months since I last tasted sugar. I am sugar free and deeply grateful.

    Cathy S. , Past Client

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I find that my words don’t do the program justice because it (and you) have changed my life forever. I am beyond grateful and will never be able to fully express how much you have done for me.

    Pilar L. , Past Client

  • Better Health Coaching Inc.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I liked the repeated information about sugar’s harm. Although I already knew most of what was in the course, repetition is needed for it to actually sink in, and I took something different from the lesson every time.

    Asa R. , Past Client

  • Better Health Coaching Inc.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I have bought many a package that promised to "change my life"... make me rich, make me thinner, make me more self-confident, help me dress better... none of them has ever lived up to the hype. Well, this was one purchase that actually lived up to the promise, and it did change my life. I am no longer a slave to sugar. And I have lost 20 pounds since we last spoke. Thank-you Florence for the life mission you have chosen.

    Sue G. , Past Client

  • Better Health Coaching Inc.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    If someone had suggested to me that in a matter of weeks, I'd be able to put an end to a sugar addiction, which had lasted pretty much my whole life, I would have, at best, found the possibility extremely unlikely. But then, I hadn't come across anyone like the 'Kick Sugar Coach.' Not only have I truly put an end to sugar - it happened so quickly and effortlessly I could hardly believe it. It seemed impossible. I simply cannot recommend Florence's coaching highly enough.

I am forever grateful for your courage and conviction in sharing your gifts with me and so many others. You have truly found your purpose and deserve nothing but the best in your life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    My profound thanks to you for your course – for its depth and breadth, the tremendous resources, your obvious devotion to this calling, your vulnerability in sharing your story, your vibrant personal coaching, your tone of acceptance and compassion for wherever someone is on their journey, and the overarching perspective that we are spiritual beings on an upward trajectory. This was a perfect course for me -- with the personal coaching --and I am deeply grateful to have taken it! It will “follow me all my days”… 😊 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    Give Florence a chance to help you finally get free! For that is what her course is about. “Sugar freedom formula” is totally different to all other approaches. It’s very simple, easy to learn and master, and it’s really life changing! It’s a year ago I attended Florence’s course and I have had no problems with sugar and flour after that. Thank you Florence!!!

    Your technique, Florence, is life-changing, and I will be forever grateful. It works. Three months later I have lost 29 pounds. I really enjoyed the modules of information and technique of cornering our sugar gremlin/dragon.

    I really liked all the information on the science of addiction. This helped me to understand I’m not weak and it’s not a character flaw. I have lost over 50 lbs. It has been 8 months since I last tasted sugar. I am sugar free and deeply grateful.

    I find that my words don’t do the program justice because it (and you) have changed my life forever. I am beyond grateful and will never be able to fully express how much you have done for me.

    I liked the repeated information about sugar’s harm. Although I already knew most of what was in the course, repetition is needed for it to actually sink in, and I took something different from the lesson every time.

    I have bought many a package that promised to "change my life"... make me rich, make me thinner, make me more self-confident, help me dress better... none of them has ever lived up to the hype. Well, this was one purchase that actually lived up to the promise, and it did change my life. I am no longer a slave to sugar. And I have lost 20 pounds since we last spoke. Thank-you Florence for the life mission you have chosen.

    If someone had suggested to me that in a matter of weeks, I'd be able to put an end to a sugar addiction, which had lasted pretty much my whole life, I would have, at best, found the possibility extremely unlikely. But then, I hadn't come across anyone like the 'Kick Sugar Coach.' Not only have I truly put an end to sugar - it happened so quickly and effortlessly I could hardly believe it. It seemed impossible. I simply cannot recommend Florence's coaching highly enough.

Core Beliefs That Guide
My Coaching Practice

Here is what I believe about recovery, healing, and what’s possible:

  • Recovery gets traction when it’s grounded in safety, not shame.

  • Chronic relapse is a dysregulated nervous system issue

  • Trauma-informed recovery approaches do not demand perfection

  • Somatic practices help you become present and feel safe in your body.

  • Somatic practices restore the body to homeostasis (our feel good state)
  • Fear and overwhelm are the main drivers of relapse 
  • Feeling safe is the antidote to addiction.
  • Befriending your body is non-negotiable.

  • Learning how to process emotions is the foundation of lasting food freedom

  • Elevated emotions fuel recovery 

  • Forcing abstinence rarely works - becoming internally aligned is way better!
  • Daily (or close to daily) accountability is essential and life-changing. I offer that.

  • Sugar addiction is real. You are not crazy. You are not hopeless. You just need to address the missing link (stress/trauma/somatics) and get the professional help you need.


These are the essentials of sustainable recovery. 
It is time to stop struggling. Get the professional help you need.
