209A Sugar Mini Series: The Chemical Addiction to Sugar: Why Your Brain Lights Up
Oct 14, 2025
Have you ever promised yourself just one cookie 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.
