Is it bad? Should I cut it all out?
It seems like all we ever see are the EXTREMES. One camp says cut out all sugar, another says cut all sugar AND all carbs, still another says eat it all whenever you want, you only live once. I'm here to give you a more balanced, and honestly sane look at nutrition, wellness and life. And life INCLUDES sugar.
Biologically speaking, sugar is a crucial element for your body to be able to function. Sugar makes up the backbone of your DNA, it helps power your cells and helps store energy...

It seems like all we ever see are the EXTREMES. One camp says cut out all sugar, another says cut all sugar AND all carbs, still another says eat it all whenever you want, you only live once. I'm here to give you a more balanced, and honestly sane look at nutrition, wellness and life. And life INCLUDES sugar.
Biologically speaking, sugar is a crucial element for your body to be able to function. Sugar makes up the backbone of your DNA, it helps power your cells and helps store energy for later, our body converts sugar into energy. Sugar, in and of itself is not BAD. The problems come when we eat more of certain types of sugars than our body can handle.
In this episode I'll break down:
- the different types of sugars and carbohydrates and how they effect your body in different ways
- sugars to keep and sugars to watch out for
- the problems with ADDED sugars, their biological effects, and contribution to disease processes
- the effect of certain sugars on your gut and brain
- how to start being aware of and cutting down on some excess sugars without going crazy or having to go cold turkey
The bottom line is: not all sugars and carbs are created equal and they certainly aren't all bad, too much of anything can be problematic, and if you truly want to be healthy you can't be in denial about the foods and beverages you choose.
If you're READY to take back control of your food, body, mind, and life, including kicking a sugar addiction, then take a look at the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program. Registration is open May 16th!!

Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food
If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change. Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
