About Connie
Dear Reader, I'm So Glad You're Here






You are not alone. I know how awful it feels to hit rock bottom and to feel out of whack when it comes to how you eat, live, and feel. But I’m here to bring you hope and help so you can emerge stronger, healthier, and happier.
So here’s my story: After more than a decade eating healthy, sugar-free, nutrient-rich foods, I overloaded on ultra-processed carbs (carb garbage or carbage) after a grueling year helplessly watching cancer end my mother’s life. Before long, I packed on 21 pounds, developed insulin resistance, and felt terribly ashamed, because I know better. You see, I’m author of the bestselling books, Sugar Shock! (Berkley Books) and Beyond Sugar Shock (Hay House).
But I refused to stay stuck. Instead, I dove into the research for seven-plus years to discover why so many of us rush to junk foods when times get tough. I also sought to find out how what fast, easy, science-based tools we can use to reclaim our health, confidence, and joy. You’ll find all of that in my book, I Blew My Diet! Now What?
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—journalist, bestselling author, certified health coach, life coach, DreamBuilder Coach, and mindset coach. I've also been interviewed by many media outlets, including CBS News Sunday Morning, Oprah & Friends, and Women's Health.
What matters most to me is connecting with people who feel stuck, ashamed, or frustrated by overeating, toxic thoughts, and counter-productive behavior. But let me remind you: You’re human. You make mistakes. No biggie. And it’s never too late to rise, heal, and thrive.
When I’m not writing, coaching, or teaching my signature Bounce Back Boldly course, you’ll find me playing ping pong, briskly climbing hills, and enjoying audio books. Most of all, my mission is to empower you to give yourself lots of love, take back your power, and create a life you love—one step, one bite, and one breakthrough at a time.
Rooting for your Sweet Success™,
Connie Bennett, CHHC, CPC
Author, Sugar Shock! and Beyond Sugar Shock
