    266. "Wellness doesn't have to be so complicated": Jenn

    You probably don’t need more health information. Chances are, you’re already overwhelmed by it. In this episode, I talk with Jen Trepeck, health coach and author of Uncomplicating Wellness, about why eating well and taking care of yourself has become so confusing, and why it doesn’t have to be. We talk about how to make sense of all the conflicting nutrition headlines, why chasing the “right” plan often backfires, and how you can learn to listen to your own body.  Jenn and I also talk about sugar cravings, and how you can shift the focus to nourishing yourself on all levels in order to experience wellness. If food and health advice feel complicated or exhausting, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and find a simpler approach that fits you. Find Jenn's book here.

    265. "Cravings begin in the mind": Dr. David

    Cravings don’t usually come out of nowhere.  They’re often the body’s way of asking for relief, comfort, or a break from stress, even when it feels like the craving is “just for sugar.” In this episode, my guest is Dr. David Clark, a board-certified gastroenterologist who spent decades working not only with people who suffer with digestive issues, but also chronic pain, fatigue, and cravings.  In this fascinating conversation, we explore what Dr. David calls neuroplastic symptoms: how cravings begin in the mind, and can be a signal about your deeper needs rather than a failure of willpower. And also why lasting change usually involves more than simply removing sugar from your diet. If you’ve ever felt stuck fighting cravings and wondered why cutting sugar wasn’t enough, this conversation will probably resonate with you.

    264. Sugar and emotional eating

    What is emotional eating? For a long time, I didn’t think emotional eating had anything to do with me. I thought I just liked sugar.  I thought I needed more discipline. I thought I should “do better.” You may relate. In this episode, I share my own experience with comfort foods and the role sugar played in helping me cope and unwind at the end of a long day.  I talk about why comfort foods feel so comforting, how emotional eating is different from trauma responses.  If you’ve ever found yourself eating at night when you weren’t really hungry, or reaching for something sweet because you just needed to numb out, you’ll probably recognize yourself in this episode.

    263. The biochemistry of sugar and energy: Dr. Elizabeth

    My guest this week, Dr. Elizabeth Wanek, has a chemistry degree, a medical doctorate, and decades of practice. She challenges conventional healthcare thinking by connecting physics, chemistry, and biology to how we see energy, food, sugar, and cravings. You don't need a science background or a medical degree to get inspiration from this episode. In fact, both Elizabeth and I agree that the basics of biochemistry and human metabolism should be taught in school as early as possible!

    262. Natural sugars, added sugars, and nutritional guidelines

    What actually counts as a whole food — and why does that matter when it comes to sugar? In this episode, I unpack the difference between foods with added sugars and whole foods that naturally contain sugar, like fruit and dairy.  I talk about what “minimally processed” really means, why "food products" that contain forms of added sugars have quietly become part of everyday eating... and how all of this affects cravings, blood sugar, and our general health. I also give my own opinion on the latest US nutrition guidelines that were published in January 2026.  I'm not a nutrition expert, but in this episode I share what I've experienced over the last 10 years eating whole foods that don't contain added sugars.

    261. “Sugar isn't a treat for me anymore”: Mirinda

    In this episode, Mirinda shares her honest journey with sugar, dieting, and the lifelong food noise so many women know well.  Growing up with mixed messages about food and years of yo-yo dieting, Mirinda explains how sugar slowly began to rule her mood, her thoughts, and her sense of self. We talk about what finally changed: shifting away from weight loss and rules, and toward nourishing her body, stabilizing blood sugar, and focusing on how food actually made her feel.  Mirinda shares how letting go of processed sugar, eating real food and healthy fats, and listening to her body brought a level of freedom she never thought was possible. She also reframes the idea of a “treat,” explaining how sugar stopped being something she used for comfort or reward and how choosing foods that help her feel good became the most loving kind of treat. This conversation is about more than sugar.  It’s about breaking the diet mentality, releasing guilt and perfectionism, and redefining what a “treat” really means — not as restriction or indulgence, but as choosing what helps you feel good, mentally and physically.

    260. “Your body needs less sugar and more real foods and healthy fats”: Dr. Aaron

    In this episode, I’m joined by Aaron, a family physician who explains why most doctors get surprisingly little training in nutrition — and how that gap shaped the way medicine treats chronic disease.  Aaron shares how his upbringing influenced his relationship with sugar, why Type 2 diabetes in kids has risen so dramatically. Aaron also talks about the personal turning point that changed his approach to health: adopting his daughter and fighting to support her with real food instead of default medical “standard care.” We also talk about why real food — including healthy fats — simplifies so much of the confusion around sugar and processed foods...  and why meaningful change in healthcare may need to come from the bottom up, with patients becoming more informed and asking better questions.
