Breaking Sugar Chains: Shun Foreman, RN's Journey and Mission
“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.”
