Life After Sugar

Hi, it's Netta.I'm recording this episode in December 2025, and if your year wasn’t perfectly sugar-free… don't worry. I'm guessing that nobody's year was perfect — not even mine! ;-)In this episode, I explore what it really means to make progress without expecting perfection — and why being human matters more than being “perfect.”I share my own ups and downs, how diet culture feeds that all-or-nothing mindset, and why emotional eating isn’t really about the food.Whether your year was sugar-free or not, I hope that this episode will help you feel gentler with yourself.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

In this episode, I talk with Dr. John Oberg about his groundbreaking work helping people with Type 2 diabetes.His medical practice dramatically improves their blood sugar through small, sustainable changes. He shares behind-the-scenes details from his clinical research, including how his team helped patients lower their A1C from dangerously high levels in just weeks, and why a personalized, step-by-step approach works better than strict diets. We dive into sugar, insulin, real-life behaviour change, and why tiny “micro-changes” can create massive health shifts, especially to treat or prevent Type 2 diabetes. This conversation is practical, hopeful, and packed with science you can actually understand.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

In this episode, I’m chatting with Ty, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was just 8 years old.Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas stops making insulin, so the body can’t regulate blood sugar on its own and needs insulin from injections or a pump to survive.Ty takes us behind the scenes of what that has really looked like: from massive early insulin pumps, constant injections, organ transplants, and dialysis, to the medical tech that’s helped him survive and thrive. We talk about sugar, carbs, food, mindset, and what it’s actually like to live with a condition people can’t see but that affects every single part of his day.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!

In this episode, I talk with Uma, a health coach and yoga teacher based in South Africa. Uma shares her personal journey of growing up with a diet full of sugar and flour, how her health began to decline, and what finally inspired her to make a change. Uma opens up about the fear of developing diabetes, which runs in her family, and how she learned to take control of her health, not just through food, but by exploring the deeper emotional and energetic roots of stress and cravings.We explore how processed foods and starches play a hidden role in blood sugar issues, and how emotional eating is often a signal from the nervous system. Uma offers simple, powerful tools—like mindful breathing, movement, and energy awareness—to help calm the body and reduce cravings. This conversation is an inspiring reminder that lasting change doesn’t require perfection, just the willingness to come back to yourself, one small step at a time.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group... apply here to join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!
