www.simplysugarfree.com sue.brown@simplysugarfree.com Sue Brown is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and author of “Simply Sugar Free: Six Simple Steps to Conquer Sugar Addiction.” Sue lost 52 pounds in 52 weeks when she was 52 by conquering her lifelong sugar addiction. Equally important, she’s kept off the weight since 2006 -- making her quite a unicorn in the world of maintaining significant weight loss. In fact, she is a member of the National Weight Control Registry (http://www.nwcr.ws/), which studies people who have successfully maintained weight losses of more than 30 pounds for more than a year. Currently Sue is studying to become certified in Holistic Medicine for Addiction (HMA), which integrates multiple addiction treatment paradigms necessary to see and understand the ”big picture” of addiction. It prepares professionals to treat their clients as whole people while addressing all aspects of their disease. https://www.bittensaddiction.com/en/professional-training/holistic-medicine-for-addiction/ She is also becoming certified in the use of the SUGAR® evaluation tool for sugar and carb addiction. SUGAR® is the first and only diagnostic instrument specifically dedicated to assessing addiction and/or /pathological use of sugar, carbohydrates (such as flour), and other processed foods. https://www.bittensaddiction.com/en/professional-training/sugar/ Sue retired in 2021 from a 38-year corporate career spanning advertising, public relations, IT and organizational transformation, bringing with her skills in those areas to the FAI Executive Committee and Board.
