Listen Later

🍫 Ever feel like you just can’t stop craving sweets?

You’re not alone—and it’s not a willpower problem.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into the real reasons behind sugar cravings (especially in postpartum) and why it might feel like you’re addicted to sugar. I’ll also share the exact strategies that helped me get out of the sugar-crash cycle without cutting out the foods I love.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

🌀 [2:00] What a sugar crash actually feels like (and the symptoms to look for)

🔍 [3:24] The real root causes behind those intense cravings
🛠️ [4:29] How to fix the root—not just slap a Band-Aid on it
💭 [6:53] A personal story: when I felt most addicted to sugar
🤱 [7:30] Why sugar cravings are so common for postpartum moms
😔 [9:24] Guilt, shame, and the hidden beliefs we hold around sugar

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just eat better?”—this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in now and learn how to nourish your body in a way that actually works with your cravings, not against them.

 

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and getting it right can make a huge difference in your energy, mood, and overall health postpartum.
