Скачать или смотреть The Real Reason You Can’t Stop Craving Sugar (and How to Stop the Cycle Naturally)

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen with a bag of chocolate, telling yourself you’ll “start fresh on Monday,” this episode is for you. Sugar cravings aren’t about having no will power. They’re powerful signals from your body about hormones, blood sugar, and even mineral balance.

In this episode I’m sharing:

Why the blood sugar roller coaster (spike → crash → crave) keeps you stuck in a cycle you can’t willpower your way out of

Sneaky foods that spike blood sugar (yes, even smoothies, juices, and fruit on their own) and how to pair them for optimal blood sugar balance

How progesterone shifts your insulin sensitivity and ramps up cravings before your period

Why stress and high cortisol levels make your cravings worse—and what your CGM would show during a tough meeting

The mineral deficiencies (especially magnesium, sodium, and potassium) that make cravings worse and how to spot if that chocolate obsession is really your body asking for minerals

Why parasites (yep, gross but true) and dopamine-seeking behaviors can fuel nighttime cravings

My “Craving Reset” approach to stabilize blood sugar, support progesterone, replenish minerals, and calm the nervous system naturally

Remember: cravings aren’t a weakness. They’re a message. This episode will help you decode what your body is asking for and give you practical tools to break free from the constant cycle of sugar highs and crashes.
