Do You Suffer From These Top Signs of Sugar Addiction?

• Do you regularly seek out sweets and does this follow a set pattern (such as before bed, at 3 pm, after you get off work or other set times?
• Do you experience an energy roller coaster or energy spikes/dips throughout the day?
• Do you experience fatigue after eating a meal or food “coma”?
• Do you get lightheaded if you skip meals?
• Do you find yourself going from mild to intense hunger very quickly?
• Are you under a lot of stress…did you know that stress makes you crave sugar?
• Do you have a secret stash of candy at your desk and/or you even stole the kids’ Halloween candy?
• Are you irritable, cranky and playing the blame game with your spouse or kids if you don’t get your daily sugar fix? (And when I say “sugar”, I mean all processed carbs that turn into sugar, including pizza, baked goods, pasta, rice and your fancy coffee drinks)
• Do you feel hung-over in some way after consuming sugar? Whether that be:
  • Brain fog/cloudy thinking or trouble concentrating
  • 2 pm afternoon crash (like falling asleep at work or needing naps)
  • Packing on the pounds especially growing a spare tire around your belly
  • Anxiety with that hypervigilant racing mind
  • Getting sick more often with every passing cold and flu virus
  • Disrupted sleep or insomnia
• Do you feel you’re a hostage to sugar and its controlling your life where perhaps you’re:
  • Thinking about it ALL the time
  • Plotting your next sweet escape
  • Mentally rehearsing the explosion of taste on your tongue when you bite into that ooey gooey treat you’ve been coveting
  • Planning your dessert before you’ve even finished dinner

Whether you’re a closet chocoholic, a self‐confessed sugar addict who simply can’t get through your day without so-called “healthy” stimulants like coffee, cacao, energy drinks and sweets or someone who’s struggling with blood sugar issues like insulin resistance, pre‐diabetes, type  2  diabetes or gut issues like candida and  are  looking  to  get  off  the wild sugar roller coaster ride, you’ve come to the right place…

Did you know that sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine? Sugar activates the dopamine receptors in the brain and dopamine aka the “I gotta have it” neurotransmitter delivers the same king of “high” that we seem to be perpetually seeking.

The bitter truth is that your sugar addiction can get deadly really fast which is why we’re experiencing a pandemic of insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or full blown diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease etc. And they’re now giving liver transplants to 12-year olds because of their soda consumption. Even a so-called “healthy diet” can put you in the danger zone with all these chronic diseases

Here’s How Cravings Cure May Help Solve ALL These Problems

Refined sugar is the fastest way to wreck your health and the all pervasive sugar addiction is the #1 reason I created Cravings Cure to offer you a 21-Day Delicious Detox  to live the sweet life without sugar. So you can finally gain freedom from cravings, fatigue, and stop the inflammatory cascade that leads to degenerative diseases like diabetes and cancer.

Imagine for a moment if you can gain freedom from sugar’s grip on your energy, mood and weight and what that can mean for you:

• No more sugar withdrawals and you can walk past the mid-morning mocha, the afternoon chocolate chip cookie and the night time ice cream without blinking an eye
• No more going on yo-yo diets, or downing chalky shakes that leave you feeling hungry
• No more starving yourself, sweating naked on a rock in New Mexico or spending thousands of dollars on a fancy detox protocol full of supplements, pills and shakes
• No more insomnia, headaches/migraines, aches/pains
• No more runaway stress sabotaging your weight loss so you have to keep buying new clothes to find something in your closet that actually fits
• No more crankiness, irritability and playing the blame game with the family
• No more worrying about your elevated risk of diseases like hormonal cancers or diabetes because you’ve invested in your health and have seen the payoff
• No more suffering with low self-esteem/self-worth

How much would this be worth to you? What if instead of spending thousands of dollars, you could follow the simple protocol laid out in this eBook and take bite sized inspired action? Research has shown that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit which is why I’ve designed each of the phases to be a weeklong so you can take empowered action in bite sized chunks and stop being a hostage to sugar, once and for all! But first…let me tell you a little bit about my journey and what makes me an expert in blood sugar and hormones.

 

Meet Your Cravings Whisperer

I was hurtling through life at 95 mph, surviving on frozen monstrosities devoid of any real nutrition. I never cooked and had no idea that this processed diet high in refined carbs was practically inviting those rogue cancer cells to make a snugly home in my body.

Did you know that sugar is the preferred fuel for cancer cells? And the Standard American Diet (SAD) that many of you are consuming coupled with your runaway stress is literally like pouring gasoline on an already roaring hormonal fire.

Fortunately, my cervical cancer was caught very early on, but it was a powerful wake-up call that influenced me to reevaluate my life and make changes in my diet and lifestyle incorporating REAL foods, yoga, meditation, cooking as if my life depended on it, and breaking my love affair with sugar. I left the corporate world, went back to school ravenously studying about nutrition and functional (root cause) medicine as I was done with the sick care system that we label as healthcare.  They say our challenges are our greatest teachers and my health crisis had created a fertile soil, planting those seeds of wanting to find a better way with stress, sugar, hormones and health…

After all this suffering, I know one thing for sure: once we restore homeostasis, give the body the nutrients it needs, and get out of its way, it can recover from ANYTHING including so-called terminal illnesses as I have seen with hundreds of my clients. And initially with my beloved Mom when she was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and was in remission one year later. But she eventually lost her battle to cancer, and now more than ever, I’m dedicated to helping you discover the bitter truth about sugar before it’s too late.

As a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, I’ve been privileged to learn from luminaries in the field of functional medicine including Drs. Andrew Weil, Mark Hyman, and Deepak Chopra to name a few. I’ve also been trained by Harvard physician and NYT best-selling author of The Hormone Cure™, Dr. Sara Gottfried, on the Gottfried Protocol to balance hormones. I’m the founder of Zen-triton, a thriving body-mind-spirit health coaching practice that has helped hundreds of women balance their blood sugar and hormones so they can RECLAIM effortless energy and fat loss that they enjoyed in their youth without diets, drugs or deprivation.

This book brings together a deeper understanding of the physiology and psychology of addiction while giving you a practical body-mind-spirit blueprint to permanently break your love affair with sugar without counting calories or an over restrictive diet that deprives you of pleasure. This is an easy-to-follow program that includes all of the following:

• An evidence-based protocol to get you off the refined sugar with wiggle-room as you need it to navigate through the detox no matter what your schedule may be
• Delicious recipes that your whole family will enjoy and that you’ll want to make again and again
• Eye-opening insights on how to side-step the sugar “bombs” lurking in your grocery store with simple “ditch this” and “replace with” swap list that you can print out
• Handouts that include a natural sweetener showdown that will open your eyes to how your “healthy” choices are fueling your cravings and keeping you stuck
• Cravings Cure Grocery Shopping List and tips on what to do when traveling or eating out to inform and guide you through every step of your detox journey

Been There, Done That!

I know the word detox conjures up images of sweat drenched torture as you go hungry surviving on juices and tasteless chalky shakes while giving up all your favorite foods. But you can check your perceptual baggage at the door as this is not that kind of detox. This is an easier, gentler, delicious detox with no deprivation, denial, calorie‐counting or sweating your behind off in some insanity workout.
