    282. Why aren't I sugar free yet?

    07/06/2026 | 23 mins.
    If you've ever asked yourself the question: Why aren't I sugar free yet? with frustration, this episode is for you. 
    In my experience, one of the most common — and most damaging — expectations around going sugar-free is that it should happen instantly, completely, and permanently. 
    Spoiler: it doesn't always work that way, and it doesn't have to.
    In fact, I challenge the idea that going sugar-free should be instant and effortless — like someone waving a magic wand. (Me, for example!)
    Actually, being sugar-free isn't just about how much sugar you eat, it's about how you feel about sugar. 
    And because we're all different, there's no single timeline or threshold that defines what sugar-free looks like. For some people, freedom comes from gradually reducing sugar. For others, it means cutting it out completely. And everything in between is valid.
    As an example, in this episode I hand over the mic to Maria, a participant in the Freedom From Cravings Formula program, who expresses beautifully how she feels about sugar now.

    281. "Heal your inner child, heal your cravings": Helen

    31/05/2026 | 37 mins.
    My guest this week is Helen Ye, who grew up in Guangzhou, China.
    In this episode, Helen shares how she learned from an early age that food is medicine and that balance is everything. As an Ayurveda practitioner and psychic, she brings a fascinating Eastern perspective to what's really driving cravings for sweets and sugar.
    Helen explains the difference between Eastern and Western sugar, and why some people are more prone to sugar addiction. She also goes deeper into why healing your inner child may be at the root of healing your cravings. 
    Helen also explains how building a daily meditation practice and tuning into your body's intuition can reduce cravings in a way that no diet plan ever could.

    280. "Your life can be so much sweeter without sugar": Dr. Kelly

    24/05/2026 | 38 mins.
    In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Kelly McCann, a medical doctor with a background in integrative medicine, and she connects the dots between mold exposure, gut health, and sugar cravings in a way I've never heard before. 
    And then she takes it even deeper — into the emotional and spiritual side of why we reach for sweetness in the first place.
    Because as Dr. Kelly explains, sugar cravings aren't just about willpower or habit.
    In fact, they can be a signal from your body that something much deeper needs attention, like a void in your life that no amount of sugar is ever going to fill. 
    Find Dr. Kelly here.

    278. "Cutting sugar can help lessen symptoms of Hashimoto's": Monica

    10/05/2026 | 34 mins.
    Monica grew up in Australia with pretty health-conscious parents. But as life got busier and more stressful, she started eating more and more sugar. 
    And eventually, working in the health industry of all places, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.
    In this episode, Monica breaks down what Hashimoto's actually is, why it's so often missed or misdiagnosed for years, and why sugar plays a much bigger role in this autoimmune condition than most people — and most doctors — realize.
    This one is especially relevant if you're a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, because as Monica explains, hormonal shifts like perimenopause and menopause are one of the most common triggers for Hashimoto's to develop or flare up.
    Now Monica helps other mums do what she had to figure out herself — get to the root of what's driving their Hashimoto's so they can finally feel like themselves again.
    Connect with Monica here.
