Sara puts her Health Coach hat on with Wendy as they discuss the hidden truths around our passion and science with sugar.  Sweet is a natural favor the body needs AND becoming a savvy consumer and listening to your body is key to good health! 

We talk about the shocking amount of refined sugar in common food items.

Hidden Truths:

1.  Fructose (the kind in pre-packaged foods not fruit/veggies) does not satisfy hunger so you might eat more.
2. Brain fog, fatigue, and excessive hunger,  could be from too much sugar
3. Not all sweeteners are created "equal"
4. Beware of "No Sugar" packaged foods - ARE in fact sweetened.
5. The Brain- There are three major “happy brain chemicals” that are most impacted by sugar: Dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.

3 Top things you can do:

1. Get savvy, read labels look for the grams of added sugar, names of sugar and  closer the sugars are to the top of the list, the higher the sugar content that food
2. Eat mindfully, know what feels helpful and not helpful in your body
3. If you can let go of one thing right now, reduce the sugary drinks.
