Guy MacGillivray on Sugar and Mental Health – Our Most Downloaded Episode Ever!

This episode is a game-changer!  Our conversation with Guy MacGillivray has become the top episode of all time—and for good reason.

Guy is a psychologist and social worker in Port Lincoln, a devoted father of three, and a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. But his journey into understanding sugar and mental health started with a personal revelation: he was using sugar to medicate stress in his life.

Realising this, he made a change—cutting back on sugar, adjusting his morning routine, and practising gratitude for family, friends and meditative prayer. He quickly noticed the impact on not just his weight but his mental clarity and overall well-being.

Guy poses a powerful question:
"Are you a leaver or a finisher?"
Can you stop at one scoop of ice cream, or do you finish the whole tub?

For Guy, the only way forward was utterly removing sugar from his diet. And he believes you can do it, too.

Beyond his journey, Guy’s work is deeply impactful. He supports people with disabilities and their families to navigate housing, employment, and the NDIS system—helping them overcome barriers and live their best lives.

Thank you, Guy, for making a difference in Port Lincoln and beyond!
