Stress Eating, Sugar Substitutes & Fixing Your Gut


Listen Later

Why do we reach for sweet food when we’re stressed? Are zero-sugar sweeteners actually better for our health? And can digestive enzymes really help if dairy doesn’t agree with you?

This week, we unpack stress eating in busy seasons of life, the science behind low and zero-sugar substitutes like stevia and monk fruit, and whether digestive enzymes can support lactose intolerance.

We also dive into fibre targets, plant counting and how to make small, practical shifts to improve your health in ways that work in real life.
