#198 | Why Sugar Feels So Hard to Quit (for Women Over 40 Trying to Lose Weight)


Listen Later

We’re diving into why sugar cravings feel so powerful—especially for women over 40—and what’s really going on in your body when you feel stuck in the cycle. You’ll learn:

  • The science behind sugar cravings (blood sugar crashes, hormones, even gut bacteria).

  • The emotional side of sugar—comfort, stress, and habit loops.

  • Why urges aren’t bad, and how to ride them out without relying on willpower.

  • Simple ways to feel more in control, like balancing meals, sleeping better, and checking in with your emotions.
