Recovery is looking like my husband has lost weight and he's a more functional dad, and that now, you know, we've got the kids using different types of language about sugar and we to have to not have a soda in our home is a big deal, but there's no sodas. So that's what recovery looks like to me.
Picture this: a registered nurse with over two decades of experience, a degree in human rights, and a passion for uplifting vulnerable communities. That's Shun Foreman, one of the five co-founders of SUGARx Global. In this eye-opening episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', host Siobhan Huggins sits down with Shun to explore the hidden dangers of sugar addiction, especially within African-American communities. Shun shares her personal battle with sugar and how it led her to champion change through education and awareness.
With her unique blend of nursing expertise and social justice advocacy, she sheds light on the often-overlooked links between food, health, and healing in communities of color. They dive into how sugar has historically impacted African-American communities since slavery and discuss ways to shift the narrative towards healing and empowerment. This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about offering real solutions and inspiring stories of recovery.
Shun also opens up about her family's journey to breaking free from sugar addiction, providing hope and practical advice for listeners. Tune in for an engaging conversation that challenges stigmas and promotes a healthier, sugar-free life.
