🍎 Healthy Eating in the Real World: Busting Sugar Myths & Building Lasting Habits

What does it really take to eat well when life refuses to slow down?

In this episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I sit down once again with Vanessa Sturman, health coach and award winning speaker, helping busy people break free from food confusion and create systems that actually work. If you’ve caught her previous episodes on balance, consistency, and spotting red flags in the nutrition industry, you’ll know Vanessa brings a no-nonsense, practical voice to the world of health. This time, we’re diving even deeper into what it means to eat well in the real world.

Forget quick fixes. Forget the influencer hype. This is about building a healthy diet you can sustain — whether you’ve got kids, a high-pressure job, late-night shifts, or a diary that never lets up.

🔥 In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why healthy eating feels impossible when life gets chaotic
✅ The sugar controversy: is fruit actually bad for you?
✅ What most people get wrong about nutrition when they’re busy
✅ How to set up a system that supports health without stress
✅ The role of food culture and obesogenic environments in keeping us stuck
✅ Why dietary patterns matter more than obsessing over single foods
✅ The small daily changes that compound into huge results
✅ How to create a fulfilling, nutrient-rich lifestyle on the go
✅ Why balance, not perfection, is the ultimate key to health

Vanessa’s approach is straight-talking, compassionate, and grounded in real life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “eating clean” and giving up entirely, or confused by endless nutrition debates about sugar, carbs, or diet culture, this conversation is going to reset the way you think about food.

🌱 Whether you’re a parent, professional, or just someone struggling to stay consistent, this episode will help you find clarity, confidence, and momentum in your health.
