When you play out all day and suddenly crash before tea ❤️

Your friends are shrinking. You`re doing the slow, hard, invisible work of nervous system recovery. And some days — honestly — that gap in pace is really difficult to sit with.
Acceptable and whole are not the same destination. One is about how you appear to the world. The other is about how fully you inhabit yourself.
I`m not here to tell anyone what to do. But I think those of us in recovery deserve a more honest conversation than the one currently on offer — one that takes the relief of the jabs seriously, without pretending that relief and healing are always the same thing.

You didn`t fail the diet. The diet built the addiction.

Not for everyone. Most people can restrict, allow themselves a treat, and move on without a second thought.

But for some of us — those of us whose nervous systems were already carrying more than they could manage, who never quite felt regulated, who found early on that certain foods were the fastest route to feeling okay — the cycle works differently.

Restrict all week. Allow yourself one thing. Feel the relief.

Do it again next week.

And again.

What feels like discipline is actually conditioning. The waiting amplifies the reward. The deprivation primes a nervous system that is already searching for relief to respond more powerfully when the food finally arrives.

After enough cycles, the pathway is laid down.

If you have wondered why you can`t do what other people seem to do so easily — why the pull only gets stronger, not weaker, the harder you try — this may be part of your answer.

It was never about willpower. It was about wiring.

And wiring can change.

You`ve tried every diet.

You already know what to eat.

The missing piece isn`t a meal plan — it`s understanding why you can`t stop.

For most of my clients, food didn`t become a problem because they lacked information or willpower.

IN fact, most had TOO MUCH information.

It became a problem because at some point, it was the most reliable thing in their life. It soothed them. It regulated them. It showed up when nothing else did.

And no diet has ever addressed that.
If you`re exhausted from starting over, from knowing exactly what you should do and still not being able to do it — that`s not failure. That`s what happens when the root cause goes untouched.

I work at the root.

Recovery is possible. But it starts with understanding yourself, not restricting yourself.

Hello 👋

My name is Kate Oliver and I am a UK based sugar addiction recovery coach.

For years I used food to calm a nervous system that was permanently on high alert.

Every deadline felt like a genuine emergency and I had no idea how to switch it off.

Sugar worked. Until it made me dependent, miserable and overweight.

I wanted to change but nothing worked until I discovered SOMA Breathwork. Through rhythmic breathing and breath holds it activates your body`s own chemistry — dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphins.

Your own inner pharmacy, unlocked.

This is not meditation. It`s an active practice — a skill you learn and take with you into every difficult moment. A circuit breaker. A way of turning within instead of reaching outward.

I offer one to one sessions over Zoom — a single introductory session at £50, or a four week programme at £200.

Your intro session is credited towards the programme if you decide to continue.

If something in this landed and you would like more information, send me a DM or email me at kate@sugaraddiction.co.uk

There is emerging evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce dopaminergic activity in the mesolimbic reward pathway — which explains their effect on food reward and cravings. But if that dopamine suppression is not food-specific, and instead represents a broader blunting of the reward system, are we potentially creating a pharmacological state of anhedonia in some patients? And if so, is there any evidence that this effect is dose-dependent, reversible on cessation, or more pronounced in individuals who already have low dopamine tone prior to treatment — for example those with a history of trauma, chronic stress, or depression? Ted and I are genuinely interested and would welcome any thoughts and comments or experience? #GLP1 #Ozempic #DopamineHealth #FoodAddictionRecovery #Anhedonia #BrainHealth #RewardSystem #WeightLossDrugs #FunctionalMedicine #LowDopamine
