Being constantly open to finding new ways of doing things...you just come to a solution that suits you and your body and your situation.
Imagine a life where sugar doesn't control your every craving. In this episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', host Siobhan Huggins sits down with Dr. Jen Unwin, a Clinical Health Psychologist with over three decades of NHS experience, to tackle the thorny issue of sugar addiction. Dr. Unwin has spent her career helping people with chronic illnesses find better ways to live through solution-focused brief therapy, a method that emphasizes building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Dr.
Unwin opens up about her own struggles with sugar addiction and how she managed to break free. She dives into the characteristics of sugar addiction, making it relatable and easy to understand for anyone who's felt the grip of those sweet cravings. One of the most refreshing aspects of this conversation is Dr. Unwin's emphasis on the individuality of recovery. She believes that while a low-carb lifestyle can be incredibly beneficial, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The key is to recognize if you have a problem and start taking small, manageable steps toward improvement. Listeners will also get an inside look at the groundbreaking work Dr. Unwin does alongside her husband, Dr. David Unwin. Together, they've pioneered low-carb diets as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes, making these lifestyles accessible and effective for many. The couple's patient-centric approach offers a model of hope and practical advice that anyone can apply to their own journey.
This episode is packed with valuable information and heartfelt inspiration. Whether you're grappling with sugar addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find actionable tips and a sense of community here. Tune in to discover how you can start your path to a healthier, sugar-free life.
