Something that we often ask here at the Institute of Transformational Nutrition is, what are you truly hungry for? On today’s episode, ITN Founder, Cynthia Garcia, is doing a deep dive of how that question relates to our relationship with sugar and how we can spiritually heal from that addiction. 

 

Now, this episode isn’t about fear mongering and preaching about the negative effects of sugar. In fact, a balanced diet includes sugar, and you shouldn’t have to deny yourself a slice of birthday cake after you blow out the candles. But the reality is that many of us struggle with finding deeper connections in life and fill those voids with sugar. 

 

From a young age, many of us relate sugar to love, happiness, rewards and celebration, and this can lead to a path sugar addiction. Tune in to learn more about how to get in touch with your spiritual nutrition and satisfy your sweet tooth with something even better than a Snickers bar.  

 

In today’s episode, you’ll discover: 

• The physical and psychological effects of sugar (some of which are the same as illicit drugs!)
• A historical timeline of how our society became so addicted to sugar 
• Simple steps you can take to break the cycle of sugar addiction 
• Questions to ask yourself to identify what you’re actually hungry for spiritually
