Sugar is rarely discussed in a way that actually helps.
It’s usually framed as a discipline issue.
A “just try harder” conversation.
Or something you’re supposed to eliminate and feel proud of.
But what does the science tell us?
In my new upcoming live workshop, we’ll explore this topic in detail. :
The Science of Sugar: Brain, Cravings and Addiction
With live Q and A
We’ll explore what’s really happening in your brain and body when sugar feels hard to ignore.
Inside the session, we’ll look at:
• How sugar interacts with the brain’s reward system
• What dopamine actually does and why cravings can loop
• Why some foods feel almost magnetic
• How blood sugar dips can amplify urgency, irritability and food noise
• What the research says about “addiction” and where that term helps or harms
And we’ll zoom out.
Because it’s not just about the brain.
Emerging research shows the gut microbiome plays a role in:
• Appetite regulation
• Mood and stress responses
• Cravings and food preferences
If you’ve ever felt:
Why does this feel so intense?
Why does it calm me and frustrate me at the same time?
Why can I understand nutrition but still feel pulled toward sugar?
This workshop is for you.
Not to remove sugar from your life.
Not to create more rules.
But to understand the biology, the environment we live in, and how to work with your nervous system instead of fighting it.
You’ll leave with:
• Clarity about why cravings happen
• A grounded understanding of reward and regulation
• Practical strategies to steady blood sugar
• Ways to manage cravings without shame or extremes
There will be space for your questions too, because this is never one-size-fits-all. Book now, link in bio.
