In this episode, I sit down with Elanie and Kay from Renegade Nutrition, a dynamic duo challenging the status quo of subpar health.
Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:
The Science of Sugar Addiction: How sugar affects your brain like a drug and creates a cycle of dependency.
Breaking the Cravings Cycle: The difference between quitting cold turkey vs. a gradual approach—and which one works best.
The Power of Nutrition: How consuming plenty of protein and fats help stabilize blood sugar and eliminate cravings.
Supplements & Natural Solutions: The best foods, minerals, and supplements to curb sugar cravings without relying on willpower.
Why Modern Life Depletes Dopamine: How social media, processed foods, and stress make cravings worse—and how to reset your system naturally.
If you’re ready to take back control of your health and stop letting sugar control your decisions, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you get there.
