Struggling with sugar cravings as the holidays creep in?

Today we’re breaking down the real reason your cravings feel stronger after 40, and why sugar feels almost impossible to resist in perimenopause and menopause. (Hint: it’s not about willpower — it’s your hormones, your metabolism, and your mindset.)

✔ 3 Proven Nutrition Tips to Stop Sugar Cravings Before They Start

Cravings are not a lack of willpower — they’re messages. Your body is asking for nourishment, minerals, and stability.

Front-loading calories and eating 30+ grams of protein at breakfast balances hormones and reduces nighttime eating.

Mindset matters. Decide who you want to be during the holidays — and how you want to feel in January.

Minerals drive metabolic stability. When your body is deficient, cravings intensify.

Hydration impacts cravings. Drink water before grabbing sweets.
