Life After Sugar

181. "I didn't realize how much hidden sugar my family was eating": Nikki


Listen Later

My guest this week is Nikki, who's a fellow mom with 3 boys at home. 

In this episode, we talk about whole foods, how she feeds her family, and how she helps other moms find more energy in the sometimes overwhelming life that we live as moms.

Nikki grew up with pretty healthy meals, usually some sort of meat or fish and  vegetables. Rarely desserts, she says - they were just for special occasions.

And in college, she went through a phase where she didn't eat as healthy as she should. And once she moved out on her own, she wasn't making much money, so she went more for convenience foods. 

However, as a mom, she's grown and learned and focused on always having veggies, fruits and whole foods in the house. And that's also when Nikki realized just how much sugar and how many chemicals are added to processed foods. 

And and so it was only when she changed her diet that she realized why she wasn't feeling well. 

Without the extra hidden sugar, she felt so much better. Her skin looks better. She feels better. Her stomach feels better. Just everything feels so much better.

Nikki is now much more aware of how much added sugar goes into certain products. Just because a product looks healthy, or it's gluten free, the marketing does a really great job of portraying only specific aspects, she says.

But when you really start to look deep into some of these ingredients and some of the labels, you start to recognize that they're adding in hidden sugars. 

Now Nikki helps other moms juggle family, work, and me-time without the stress. She shares easy, real-life tips to help them stay energized, so they can tackle their day and enjoy time with their family.
