Halloween Candy & Kids: Real Life Strategies to Handle Sugar Season Like a Pro | Ep. 43
Halloween is here—and with it comes the candy, the chaos, and the “sugar season” that rolls right into Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
In this week’s episode, Erin breaks down what sugar actually does to your body and your kids’ developing brains—without the scare tactics or the guilt. You’ll learn the difference between natural vs. added sugars (and whether that even matters for your kids), what happens to dopamine and blood sugar when we overload on sweets, and why sugar cravings often have more to do with stress than willpower.
She’ll also walk you through how to talk to your kids about candy in a healthy way—so you can set boundaries without creating food shame—and how to navigate your own sugar habits with mindfulness, not restriction.
Because here’s the truth: sugar isn’t the enemy, but it also doesn’t get to run the show.
If you’re ready to head into the holidays with less chaos, more confidence, and real-life strategies for navigating every party, event, and dessert table—grab Erin’s Fat Loss Through the Holidays Guide, linked in the show notes. It’s your 40-page roadmap to staying intentional (and actually enjoying yourself) all season long.
