Description

We’re diving into why sugar cravings feel so powerful—especially for women over 40—and what’s really going on in your body when you feel stuck in the cycle. You’ll learn:




  • The science behind sugar cravings (blood sugar crashes, hormones, even gut bacteria).




  • The emotional side of sugar—comfort, stress, and habit loops.




  • Why urges aren’t bad, and how to ride them out without relying on willpower.




  • Simple ways to feel more in control, like balancing meals, sleeping better, and checking in with your emotions.
