I've been following Leisa's content for ages and I'm absolutely delighted we were able to organize this podcast. This one is for anyone who is looking to remove or reduce their sugar intake for a whole host of health or body composition reasons.

The reason for sugar addiction and watching out for your 'sugar trigger' moments.
The foods that hide sugar and make your detox harder
Sugar withdrawals and how long they last for based on your starting point

Everything you need to know about going sugar free
The mindset that 'going sugar free' doesn't need to be permanent, but it can improve your relationship with the foods that are high sugar
