🎯 Ever wonder why nachos feel like celebration? Or why a broken butter machine can ruin your movie night?
It’s not just flavor—it’s emotional conditioning. For decades, food marketers have sold us more than taste. They’ve sold us joy, connection, and the illusion that fun depends on what’s on our plate.
This Substack dives deep into the psychology behind food advertising—and why breaking emotional dependency is the key to lasting change. If you’ve ever struggled with “cheat days,” social eating, or feeling like food makes the moment… this one’s for you.
💥 The real addiction? Outsourcing joy.
💡 The real solution? Emotional re-education.

⚡️Spark Notes: My Electrolyte Journey 🧂
What started as a simple low-carb shift turned into a full-blown electrolyte investigation—with cravings, controversy, and a surprising twist involving my fingernails.
I trusted the hype. I followed the crowd. I even co-hosted a Q&A where LMNT was handed out like candy. But when my body started sending mixed signals—sweet cravings, joint stiffness, and soft nails—I knew something deeper was going on.
Then came the maltodextrin reveal. And a new contender: Saltt. Twice the magnesium, no sweeteners... and a whole new set of symptoms.
💡Turns out, more isn’t always better.
🧩 And magnesium might not be the hero we think it is.
In this post, I unpack:
• The hidden ingredients that hijacked my cravings
• The electrolyte mix that made me feel amazing—until it didn’t
• What your body might be whispering through fatigue, cramps, and thirst
If you’ve ever felt foggy, achy, or oddly thirsty despite drinking water… this might resonate.

🌿 Feeling foggy, tired, or stuck in sugar swings?
It might not just be stress or willpower. Your metabolism could be out of sync.
When insulin stays elevated and glucagon disappears, your body loses the ability to switch fuel sources. That means less fat-burning, more cravings, and a whole lot of frustration.
🌀 I help people restore metabolic flexibility—so their energy, clarity, and focus aren’t riding the blood sugar rollercoaster.
✨ This isn’t a diet—it’s a deep reset. A return to the rhythms your body already knows.
Because your cells haven’t forgotten how to thrive. They just need permission to remember.
Ready to feel steady, clear, and in charge again?
