Why Matcha Is Better Than Coffee:

Matcha provides a calm, sustained energy without the crash thanks to L-theanine, unlike coffee which can spike cortisol and cause jitters. It’s also richer in antioxidants, supports hormone balance, and helps reduce inflammation—making it a gentler, more hormone-friendly choice than coffee.

I’ve learned that the key to truly treating acne lies in uncovering and addressing its root cause. Acne can be one of the most frustrating conditions to manage, especially when the underlying issue is overlooked.

Speaking from personal experience, I was placed on a range of treatments during my teenage years — from the oral contraceptive pill at just 13, to multiple rounds of antibiotics, and eventually Roaccutane at 15. Despite all of this, my acne persisted because no one ever explored what was truly causing it.

That’s why receiving messages from my patients sharing their progress fills me with such joy. Knowing they are healing — not just covering up symptoms — reminds me why I do this work.

Understanding the 'why' behind your cravings is the first step to making lasting changes.

Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation can affect hunger and cravings e.g. estrogen and progesterone levels vary during the menstrual cycle, influencing mood and appetite, often increasing cravings for sweet foods.

Stress and Emotional Eating
Stress triggers the release of cortisol, which can increase appetite and cravings for high-sugar foods.This is because sugar can temporarily boost serotonin levels, which can have a calming effect.

Lack of Sleep
Sleep deprivation disrupts the balance of hunger-regulating hormones ghrelin (which increases appetite) and leptin (which signals satiety). Higher ghrelin and lower leptin levels can lead to increased cravings for sugary foods to quickly boost energy levels.

Nutrient Deficiencies
Deficiencies in nutrients like magnesium, chromium, and zinc can lead to sugar cravings. Magnesium is involved in glucose metabolism, and a deficiency can cause insulin resistance, leading to increased sugar cravings. Chromium helps regulate blood sugar levels, and a deficiency can impair glucose metabolism.

Dehydration
Thirst is sometimes mistaken for hunger. Dehydration can cause a sensation similar to hunger or cravings, including cravings for sugary foods. Drinking water can help differentiate between true hunger and dehydration-induced cravings.

Brain Chemistry
Sugar consumption triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. Over time, frequent sugar intake can desensitize dopamine receptors, requiring more sugar to achieve the same pleasure, similar to the mechanism of addiction.

Gut Microbiota
The composition of gut bacteria can influence cravings. Certain bacteria thrive on sugar, and an imbalance (dysbiosis) can lead to increased cravings to sustain these bacteria. A healthy gut microbiome can help regulate appetite and reduce cravings.

Medications
Some medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and corticosteroids, can increase appetite and cravings for carbohydrates and sugar as a side effect. These drugs can alter metabolism and hormone levels.
