EP 280. How to Break Sugar Cravings Without Cutting Out Sugar

Written By Jennifer Dent Brown

You do not need to quit sugar to stop craving sugar. In this episode, I walk you through why your brain is screaming for sweets right now, especially in perimenopause, and how to calm the cravings without detoxes or rigid rules. You will learn how to stop making sugar the villain, how to give your brain real relief, and how to take your power back so sugar no longer runs your day.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why sugar is not the real problem and what your brain is actually craving

  • How perimenopause, cortisol, and stress make sugar cravings feel out of control

  • The four step process to calm your body and quiet sugar cravings without restriction

  • How to plan sugar on purpose so you enjoy it without spiraling

  • Why calling yourself a “sugar addict” keeps you stuck and how to upgrade your identity instead

  • A client story of a 45 year old woman who stopped calling herself a sugar addict and lost 24 pounds in six months
