Have you ever promised yourself just one cookie (or one bite of your favorite carb source) and suddenly found the whole sleeve gone? You’re not weak — your brain is wired to respond this way.

In this first episode of my Sugar Mini-Series, I share my personal story — including moments from my book Cookie Dough in the Dark — and explain why sugar isn’t just about willpower. It’s chemistry.

You’ll learn:

• What added sugar really is (and why it’s everywhere)

• How sugar hijacks your brain’s dopamine reward pathway

• The blood sugar rollercoaster that keeps cravings alive

• Why cravings often intensify in midlife

• Simple steps to bring awareness and reduce sugar’s hold on you

This episode is all about compassion, clarity, and taking the shame out of cravings.
