Episode Description from the Publisher

Today, the practical half: how to actually loosen sugar's hold. You'll hear where sugar is hiding in foods you'd never think to check. Why cravings often trace back to something other than a lack of discipline — our sleep, our stress, even our gut. What "eating by the plate" looks like in real meals, so we're not counting anything. The two-week fructose reset — what it is and how to make the most of it. How to test a single food and read what it's actually doing to our energy, so we decide what's worth it. And some more useful metrics than what we get from the bathroom scale. This BEST OF episode will live up to that label -- join us!   LET'S TALK THE WALK! Join here for support, motivation and fun!
