About this episode
In our show today, we are going to talk about a substance that many of our listeners have a love/hate relationship with. If you’ve tried to give up sugar in the past by white-knuckling it for awhile only to find yourself back at the store buying all of your sugary favorites, this show is for you! If you are hooked on sugar, please know that you are not alone and it’s not your fault. In this show, we’ll dive into the science and biochemistry of why sugar is so addictive – and we are going to give you solutions on how to finally break free of your sugar addiction. We’ll talk about the blood sugar component, the pleasurable reward pathway in the brain, and practical strategies you can take today that don’t relay only on willpower alone.
