Diagnose your sugar addiction
The acronym SUGAR® stands for Sugar Use General Assessment Recording.
SUGAR® is the first and only diagnostic instrument specifically dedicated to assessing addiction/pathological use of sugar, carbohydrates (such as flour), and other processed foods.
The SUGAR® evaluation tool for sugar and carb addiction has proven to be extremely effective in breaking through shame, denial, and stigma and motivating clients. It serves as a basis for treatment planning and is based on ICD-10/ICD-11 and DSM-5 addiction criteria. SUGAR® certification training is now offered as a stand-alone class that perfectly complements the Holistic Medicine for Addiction® (HMA®) certification.
SUGAR® is a tool that accurately distinguishes between pathological (addictive) use and harmful use (such as stress eating or emotional eating by a person who is experiencing damaging consequences but isn’t chemically addicted). This distinction is vital in identifying appropriate treatment. Those two very different conditions have very different treatment protocols. Addiction to sugar, flour, and/or processed food is a chronic, complex, and serious disease requiring a treatment model of abstinence. Harmful use, on the other hand, can sometimes be remedied with a treatment model of moderation.
Only practitioners/professionals certified and licensed in SUGAR® are authorized to use this diagnostic assessment tool. Authorization for this tool requires completion of the SUGAR® certification/licensure course and continuing licensure afterward.

SUGAR® and assessment are included in your treatment plan when you book a Treatment Package, but you can also book a SUGAR® separately – either to find out if you have a sugar and carbohydrate addiction without starting treatment, or if you wish to begin treatment without purchasing a full Treatment Package.
