Björn Engström, SUGAR®/HAM® certified and licensed social worker, addiction therapist, and educator.
Björn has over 20 years of experience in the field of addiction. He is a social worker and addiction therapist with a degree in Holistic Addiction Medicine (HAM®). He is SUGAR® certified and licensed by Bitten Jonsson.
For 15 years, Björn worked within social services, including 11 years as a manager in addiction care. This experience has given him a broad and deep understanding of addiction (addiction interaction disorder), from both individual and societal perspectives, as well as profound insight into what is required for sustainable lifestyle change.
Björn became sober and drug-free as early as 2002, but it took many years before he realized that sugar also played a central role in the cycle of addiction. Only after undergoing treatment for sugar addiction did he find the stable balance and health he had long been seeking—an experience that today is a key driving force in his work with others.
Together with Rosie, Björn runs Leva Fri, where they help people understand and treat addiction from a holistic perspective, recognizing the connection between body, mind, and behavior. The practice is grounded in evidence-based methods, biochemical repair, nutrition-based recovery, and behavioral change, with the goal of creating sustainable freedom and joy in life.
Through Leva Fri, Björn and Rosie educate new addiction coaches and therapists in the HAM® concept—training that carries forward Bitten Jonsson’s work and strengthens expertise within addiction care in Sweden.
