If you feel caught in a cycle with sugar and ultra-processed foods – where intense cravings seem to take over despite your best intentions – you are not lacking willpower.
This approach treats problematic sugar and carbohydrate consumption not as a moral failing, but as a complex interaction between the brain, body, and behaviour. With the support of a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, this treatment involves looking beneath the surface to address the root drivers that make consumption feel automatic, rather than relying on restrictive rules that inevitably fail.
Marta’s work is grounded in the addiction model of food behaviour, shaped by professional training with Bitten Jonsson, one of the leading voices in this field. This perspective recognises that for many, ultra-processed food is not just a habit, but a brain-based and behavioural condition that requires a different kind of support.
There are different pathways that Marta offers to individuals, families, schools and organisations:
- 1:1 assessments for sugar and carbohydrate dependency patterns.
Personalised intervention plans (behavioural + nutritional + regulation tools) - Structured support groups for problematic sugar and ultra-processed food dependency patterns. Maintenance/aftercare groups for relapse prevention.
- Educational workshops on behaviour and emotional eatingfor school students and teacher training to recognise dysregulated behaviour linked to diet.
- Parent advisory service for those who need family-based intervention plans. This includes 1:1 parental coaching on child eating behaviours and emotional regulation.
- Corporate / Workplace Wellbeing with talks on sugar, energy, and performance.
- Specialised Niche Services including women-focused programmes (hormones, emotional eating); post-diet recovery (yo-yo dieting cases); and integration with sleep, breathing, and metabolic health.
