• Sugar/processed foods addiction – as real as alcohol and drug addictions?
• Hyperactive foraging and dysbiosis triggered by fructose addiction
• Emotional management and the importance of community

After a successful business career, he decided that what really made him happy was helping people with their addictions. He takes his stewardship of SugarAddiction.com very seriously and aims to provide information and community for anyone wanting to curb or quit sugar.

Bitters: Calming and Digestive Support

• Doing the bitters challenge to reduce sweet cravings
• Vagus nerve, stomach acid, bile salts, peristalsis
• Ginger, licorice, catnip, gentian and making your own

Summer Bock is a trained herbalist certified in integrative nutrition through Columbia University. A raver in her early twenties, devastating allergies emerged that left her exhausted, hive-ridden, and only able to consume 30 foods without a reaction – an outlook that stumped the medical community. Leveraging her background in microbiology and fascination with gut health, Summer healed herself through research and formulation of various digestive bitters, which she now produces for her Guts & Glory Apothecary online. Summer Bock coined the phrase “Gut Rebuilding”, which is now cornerstone terminology in the integrative health conversation. She is the founder of the Fermentationist Certification Program.
