    Sugar, Skin & the Science of Living Longer

    Sugar addictive as Cocaine, it’s sweet, seductive, and hiding in more of your food than you think.  80% of the products in your grocery store's interior aisles have added sugar, and most of us are eating nearly double what the World Health Organization recommends. Family physician Dr. Tasha Bienert joins host Linda Freeman to break down why sugar hits the same brain receptors as cocaine, what really happens in your body when you overdo it, and the simple swaps that make cutting back actually stick. Then: is your red light mask a $200 miracle or an expensive placebo? We dig into the NASA origins of LED therapy, what the dermatology journals actually say, and why influencer promises don't always hold up. Plus the $5.6 trillion wellness industry is racing to help you live longer. We look at biohacking, the habits with real science behind them, and the ones still catching up.  And in a story that hits close to home, lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Jennie Ding shares how she, a healthy, active woman in her 30s with zero family history - was blindsided by a prediabetes diagnosis.Finally, therapist Claire Maisonneuve on why nootropics and focus supplements can't do the deeper work your nervous system actually needs. In this episode: 
The truth about sugar addiction, and how to break the cycle

Inside the booming (and pricey) business of longevity
 One doctor's surprise prediabetes diagnosis
