Sugar is hiding in more places than we think, and it is quietly draining our energy, affecting our skin, and making healthy habits harder to sustain.

In this episode, Clytie Tammy (@thatgirltammy) sits down with Yvonne Okiyo, Certified Holistic Nutrition Coach and founder of Your Core Life, to talk honestly about sugar, cravings, and why so many women struggle to cut back. They explore the addictive nature of sugar, the psychological side of eating, and why discipline alone is often not enough, especially for women navigating hormonal changes.

This conversation breaks down what sustainable nutrition really looks like, how to manage cravings without restriction, and why consistency and self compassion matter more than perfection.

If you are tired of dieting, confused by nutrition advice, or want a healthier relationship with food that actually fits real life, this episode is for you.
