Life After Sugar

Tracey recently celebrated her two-year anniversary for intermittent fasting. But sugar was always a problem during her eating window.Tracey believed she really had a sugar addiction because when she would eat sugar, like cake and ice cream, she would eat the desserts and then always want to go back for more. In fact, she would eat as much sweet stuff as she could, and the next day she would feel awful.For Tracey, it wasn't an easy journey. Even though she loved intermittent fasting, certain types of foods tripped her up. Butter pecan ice cream was her "kryptonite", as she calls it. She'd managed one week without sugar or ice cream, then two. But then she'd always go back to it.But since since May 1st 2022, Tracey says that she truly broke her sugar addiction.How did she achieve that?Listen to find out! Want to transform your relationship with sugar and start living your craving-free life with confidence TODAY?

Today's episode is going to clarify the relationship between alcohol, sugar, and cravings.But first, a disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, so nothing in this podcast should be construed as being medical advice. Also, I'm not here to tell you whether or not you're "allowed" to drink alcohol any more than I'm here to tell you if you're "allowed" to eat sugar. This is a judgment-free zone.So here's the thing: A lot of people come to me for help when they've already given up alcohol and find themselves craving sugar. If you find that alcoholic drinks, whatever their sugar level, trigger cravings in you, whether it's for more alcohol or for sugary or salty and crunchy snacks, then that's something to look out for. In fact, a lot of people who don't drink alcohol anymore struggle with sugar cravings. And it's because the brain and the body are craving a sugar fix, or more specifically, a dopamine high. What's the connection between alcohol, sugar, the brain, and the body (especially the liver)? Listen to this episode to find out!

In this week's episode, I'm truly honoured to be chatting with Dr. Nicole Avena who is the author of her new book called "Sugarless".Dr. Avena is a Princeton research neuroscientist and a pioneer in the field of food addiction, with over 16 million views of her TED-Ed video, "How Sugar Affects the Brain".In this episode, we talk about Dr. Avena's own background in the 1980s with food and sugar. She explains what led her to study and research the effects of sugar on the brain and the body.Yes, we both recognize that we have access to ALL the info about added sugars, but are things changing? Unfortunately, no. Dr. Avena believes that in fact, things are getting worse. For example, why do we still reward children (and adults) with sugar? Why are ultra-processed, engineered food products so prevalent in our North American society?Dr. Avena's book dives into how understanding your relationship with sugar is key.  She and I talk about practical ways to get UNstuck from the love-hate spiral many of us have with sugar. Dr. Avena also answers some questions that my listeners sent in for her. Want to transform your relationship with sugar and start living your craving-free life with confidence TODAY?

As Charlotte was growing up, her parents used food to reward good behaviour. This led her to develop an early love of sugar, especially chocolate.During her teenage years in the 1990s, Charlotte felt pressure to conform to society's ideal of a thin body, and so she aimed to look attractive and lose weight rapidly through  dieting.  And her weight yo-yoed as her relationships began and ended.It was only later in life when Charlotte learned to see food as nourishment rather than rewards or restrictions that she experienced all the benefits of cutting sugar and flour. One of those benefits was the end of yo-yo dieting, and enjoying her stable weight. Another huge benefit was the feeling of fullness. Charlotte had always felt hungry - both nutritionally and emotionally. In fact, she thought something was wrong with her, like she was broken. But when she cut sugar and flour, at long last she was able to experience the feeling of satiety, and peace around food.

Michele is a busy mom of 4, and a military wife. She's also a personal trainer and health coach. Her journey started after having her third child, when she became so much busier and realized that she was getting out of breath just from climbing the stairs.She started eating better, but a few years after, she started experiencing auto-immune issues (they run in her family). She had all the tests, but she felt that the doctors didn't really offer her  non-pharmaceutical solutions. What really helped her was when she started her self-healing holistic approach. She cut out gluten and dairy, because in the USA they're so common in processed foods. Michele also  started looking after her gut health. She decided to vastly reduce sugar too.  She learned to reframe food so as to nourish her body and feel good, because she used to eat her emotions. Now Michele feels more confident in her food choices and in her identity in general, because she's found what's healthy for her, for her children, and for her future.Find Michele's podcast here: https://www.micheleriechman.com/Want to transform your relationship with sugar and start living your craving-free life with confidence TODAY?
