Sweet Liberation: Living the Sweet Life without Sugar Nabila Fowles-Gutierrez & Luke Goddard

In this episode of Sweet Liberation Podcast, we are interviewing Jayney Goddard. Jayney Goddard is the founder and president of The Complementary Medicine Association (CMA) the founder and co-chair of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. Jayney is one of the world’s leading experts in complementary medicine and natural anti-aging fields. She is a broadcaster, author, lecturer, and journalist. She has a Master of Science post-graduate degree from UCLan, and was trained in Mind/Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School, under Dr Herbert Benson (the “father” of Mind/ Body Medicine). Joining us today, Jayney discusses important facts about complementary medicine and antiaging lifestyle practices. She clarifies that for those unfamiliar, the term "complementary medicine" can sometimes be understood as integrative medicine, covering natural healthcare practices outside conventional medicine. Jayney discusses what it really is and goes into her story of founding the CMA 31 years ago. She also shares her opinion regarding ZUKR as a product and why it got approved as a CMA supplier regardless of their tough process. Jayney discusses the outdated beliefs that genetic tendencies to have diseases cannot be changed, and how advancements in epigenetics show that lifestyle choices significantly influence genetic expression, either promoting health or illness. She then goes into the toxic effects of consuming processed sugar and how it plays a vital role in aging and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

In this episode of Sweet Liberation Podcast, ZUKR Founders Nabila and Luke dive into the effect of sugar on one’s body. They share how people often ask about their energy levels as parents and grandparents, and how people just assume sugar is necessary for energy. They highlight the negative effects of consuming too much sugar, such as energy crashes. They then dive into the biological processes of sugar consumption and emphasize that our bodies can convert food into energy without needing added sugars. They also discuss Insulin release, the common experience with energy spikes and crashes, the hidden sugars often unclear on food labels, why we feel sleepy after meals, and important dietary adjustments for older people.

She started as a personal trainer and then studied exercise physiology and nutrition, eventually becoming a genetic testing practitioner. She grew up in the Communist Czech Republic and is an ultra-marathon runner. As a Nutritionist and Exercise Physiologist, she's worked with pro sporting teams, Olympic athletes, and Hollywood celebs.Joining us today, Veronika discusses the importance of an integrative approach, combining exercise, nutrition, and mindset to address various health concerns, from injury rehabilitation to chronic diseases like diabetes, and how she uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). She dives into ultra-processed foods, and how they can hurt us, as well as the misconceptions surrounding low-fat diets. She shares strong opinions about the notion that half an hour of exercise per day is sufficient, especially for individuals with sedentary lifestyles, emphasizing the need for regular physical activity. Veronika then goes into where to find convenient whole-food snacks and why she founded New Chief Nutrition, and what are the best options for fat-fueled athletes. The discussion then goes into the dangers of sugar spikes and crashes from personal experiences, and how can collagen essential for bone density and injury prevention.

In this episode of the Sweet Liberation Podcast, Nabila and Luke are discussing some of the main stereotypes about a sugar-free lifestyle. They dive into why there is always the assumption that a sugar-free lifestyle must be associated with sacrificing good taste and foods you enjoy. Why do athletes believe that sugar is their primary energy source and why is this super dangerous? Luke and Nabila go into the differences between types 1 and 2 in diabetes and how type 2 is very related to lifestyle. They discuss the questions many have like: is it possible to only use “lifestyle” medicine to treat diseases like diabetes, what are the possible sugar alternatives out there, can sweeteners taste well while being healthy, what is erythritol, and does this sweetener have an aftertaste like many others? Join us today as Nabila and Luke go into an in-depth comparison between sweeteners like stevia, aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose.
