Life After Sugar

265. "Cravings begin in the mind": Dr. David


Listen Later

Cravings don’t usually come out of nowhere. 

They’re often the body’s way of asking for relief, comfort, or a break from stress, even when it feels like the craving is “just for sugar.”

In this episode, my guest is Dr. David Clark, a board-certified gastroenterologist who spent decades working not only with people who suffer with digestive issues, but also chronic pain, fatigue, and cravings. 

In this fascinating conversation, we explore what Dr. David calls neuroplastic symptoms: how cravings begin in the mind, and can be a signal about your deeper needs rather than a failure of willpower.

And also why lasting change usually involves more than simply removing sugar from your diet.

If you’ve ever felt stuck fighting cravings and wondered why cutting sugar wasn’t enough, this conversation will probably resonate with you.
