sugar consumption is one of the deadliest drugs of our time, and
it’s virtually ubiquitous in our modern-day industrialized food
system. Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar—from blended coffees to
protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between.
Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of
added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental
and metabolic health. As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our
brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed.
But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from
eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14
days. In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research
connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can
do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel
better, and more energized. In this episode, I discuss: The
