Do You Have a Sugar Addiction? w/ Leah Kern, RDN


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you're addicted to sugar? Like the moment you start eating, you quite literally CANNOT stop yourself?

Maybe you've heard the studies that compare sugar to addictive drugs, and you've concluded that since the problem is the food itself, the only solution is to abstain from sugar consumption altogether. 

You've tried not bringing sweets into your home, replacing sugar in recipes with "healthier" alternatives, and creating rules around when it's "allowed" to eat sweets (for example: "I can only eat sweets on the weekends").

If you can relate, then there's a good chance you still feel like sugar has power over you. Like you can't trust yourself around it, because once you have one bite, it turns into a binge-fest. 

Well, this episode is going to have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about sugar addiction. 

During this conversation, my special guest, Leah Kern, an anti-diet dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, and I are debunk the myths and misconceptions that have been feeding this sugar-phobic culture. 

This episode is not only going to help you understand WHY sugar seems to have such power over you (hint: it's not what you think), but it's only going to give you actionable steps you can take to build a healthier relationship with sugar, and food in general, so that you can:

  • Trust yourself around food and have the sweets, chocolate, baked goods or candy without the fear that you'll lose control, eat the entire thing and feel like crap
  • Eat the foods you love without feeling guilty and anxious about it
  • Feel "normal" around your fear foods and be able to walk away effortlessly without even needing to use willpower or discipline


By the end of our chat, you'll be equipped with a fresh perspective on sugar, and the tools to navigate your food journey in a more balanced way.
