You're in an abusive relationship with sugar...Why would you let it occupy the same place in your brain that your child does, or that someone you love occupies? - Dr. Daniel Amen
Have you ever felt like sugar has you wrapped around its little finger? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle the sticky subject of sugar addiction. They compare our relationship with sugar to dating a bad boy—it might feel thrilling at first, but it eventually leaves you feeling lousy. Why is it so tough to break up with sugar?
The Amens explain that sugar triggers the release of dopamine in our brains, creating a cycle of craving and temporary pleasure. It's like your brain is constantly looking for its next sweet fix. To help you kick the habit, they offer practical advice such as reading food labels, avoiding processed foods, and finding healthier alternatives. They also stress the importance of mindful eating—really paying attention to how your body feels and making conscious choices about what you consume.
If you're tired of the rollercoaster ride that sugar takes you on, this episode is packed with insights and tips to help you regain control over your health.
