Life After Sugar

In this episode, my guest Karen gives some valuable mindset tips to help you feel more confident this holiday season... and all year round!

We talk about:

• How language and mindset are critical - how we talk to ourselves affects our actions. Karen gives some examples of empowering language.
• How to avoid "good" and "bad" food labeling as it leads to guilt and negative self-talk.
• How to be kind to yourself and focus on feeling good, rather than aesthetics or numbers on a scale.
• How to keep blood sugar stable with protein, fat, and fiber before carbs and sugar.
• Why trying a short fast - even 12 hours - can help prevent blood sugar spikes and reduce cravings.
• Why intermittent fasting is flexible, not restrictive. 

Karen explains how intermittent fasting is customizable to your lifestyle, with no strict rules. 

Wouldn't you love to focus on feeling vibrant and healthy versus looking a certain way?

In Episode 152, I'm talking with two lifelong processed food addicts, Paige Alexander and Jamie Morgan Reno.

We talk about their struggles, lessons learned, tools, tips, and resources that freed them from decades of food addiction and obsession with food.

All food?

No - ultra-processed food!

Jamie and Paige also share how they  came to believe that true health and wellness come from nourishing your body with whole, UNprocessed foods.

Now their mission is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to make educated decisions that promote physical and emotional health, longevity, vitality, peace and wholeness.

Do you feel hungry several times a day?
What if that sensation you're feeling isn't actually hunger?

What if it's to do with your hormones?

Which hormones?

Well, primarily: ghrelin, leptin, and insulin.

Maybe you're often hungry even though you snack all the time. And maybe your cravings have something to do with all that snacking...

In this episode, you get a sneak peek into this lesson that comes from the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula.
 
Let's dive into the connection between hunger, sugar, calories, and hormones!

Amanda Leith struggled with weight problems for most of her life.

She tried all the diets, exercise classes, and therapy. The solution, she was told, was either, “Eat less and exercise more,” or, “Work on your emotional issues with a good therapist.”

She'd even had weight loss surgery... which had completely failed because she couldn’t follow the "everything in moderation" diet.

It was only when Amanda got the right help to recognize  that she was a food addict that her life changed.

Amanda shares how when she found out she was addicted to certain foods, especially sugar and flour, she felt relieved. At last - she understood that her food addiction wasn't her fault!

She found HER solution, and now she works with people every day to help lift them out of the trenches of food obsession and addiction.

Find Amanda here.

In this week's episode, Sarah shares about her struggles with an eating disorder as a teenager, as well as with cravings due to crazy hormones during her recent pregnancy.

Sarah used to see cutting sugar as a punishment because she was focused on losing weight. She felt bad about herself and often resorted to negative self-talk.
But more recently, her outlook has changed. Now she wants to concentrate on her health, not just her weight.

Sarah loves animals, especially horses. We discuss how she cares for her horses in a positive way... and how she's learning to treat herself with kindness and compassion too. And eating less sugar is part of Sarah's self-care.

• suffering from diabetes and other metabolic dysregulations
• not being strong enough or having enough willpower
• not being able to implement what you know

Are you struggling with hormonal issues? Maybe peri-menopause or menopause symptoms?

What if reducing refined carbs like sugar could help with a whole host of dysregulations, including hormonal issues and insulin resistance that can affect your metabolic health?

In this episode, I'm talking with fellow Québécoise Dr. Èvelyne Bourdua-Roy, who's been a family physician in Quebec, Canada since 2015. She's also certified in obesity medicine by the American Board of Obesity Medicine.

Dr. Èvelyne has a particular interest in nutrition, fasting, and other lifestyle habits that impact chronic diseases related to lifestyle, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

She has fascinating insight into how our hormonal and metabolic health can be affected by what we eat (including sugar!). Whether you're over 50 or younger, menopausal or not, this episode is for you! But it's not exclusively for women - we also talk about men and hormones!

Do you know what a CGM is? If you're diabetic, you might use one.

It's a "continuous glucose monitor", and it's a little gizmo that you put in your arm to measure your blood glucose levels.

Even if you don't have diabetes, it can be really fascinating to know how your blood glucose levels are affected by what you eat (like sugar!) and even by non-food factors like stress and poor sleep.

Listen to this episode with Catherine to learn about how knowing your blood glucose levels can empower you to look after your health and well-being... because knowledge is power!
