We know that it can improve your physical health in remarkable ways but, surprisingly, no research study has ever been done on the impact of a plant-based diet on addiction and recovery— until now. Enter our friend, Adam Sud and the Infinite Study. Inspired by his own addiction and mental health recovery, Adam sought to prove that his own recovery wasn’t a fluke so he piloted the first controlled trial to investigate the impact of nutrition and nutrition education on early addiction recovery outcomes. The long-awaited results of his groundbreaking research study are out and let’s just say we think they’re pretty plantstrong.

If you’ve ever been told that 'carbs are the enemy,' or if you think type 2 diabetes is a life sentence, Adam Sud is about to blow the lid off those myths. He’s a certified insulin resistance and food addiction coach, and returns for his fourth appearance on the podcast to clear up the misconceptions and set the record straight about what really causes diabetes. He shares the real root causes of insulin resistance, the role of fat vs. carbs, how movement and muscle can be your secret weapons, and the simple, sustainable changes you can start making today.

Adam is an expert in insulin resistance, weight loss, addiction, and behavioral health. He has worked with respected health and wellness programs and companies in the world.

He is an international speaker having presented at major events including Google, the Whole Foods Market Tribal Gathering, The Food Revolution Summit, Make Big Happen CEO Summit, and more.

Adam has worked in mental health recovery centers, where he has utilized nutrition to strengthen recovery and prevent relapse.

He is also the founder of Plant-Based for Positive Change, an organization dedicated to advancing research on the connection between diet, mental health, and addiction. Plant-Based for Positive Change led the first research study that investigated the effects of a nutrient-dense dietary intervention on early addiction recovery outcomes.

Everyone has something to learn from Adam’s story. Regardless of whether you have personally struggled with addiction and mental health, Adam’s profound understanding of behaviour and mindset will resonate with you, and potentially even shift the way you look at your life. I hope this conversation inspires you to better understand and support those around you and build a life that you wake up excited to experience.
