As I've mentioned in the past, the nutrition community is quite special! A group of us have been meeting up every 3 months for 10 years over a deliciously nourishing potluck to catch up on each other's lives and entrepreneurial journeys! One of those people is Samantha Gladish, the Founder of Healthy Hormones For Women and the Healthy Hormones For Women Podcast. I was so excited to speak with her about all of the topics I'm deeply passionate about – children's health, the microbiome, entrepreneurship, and of course, breaking your sugar addiction!

Would you say that sugar addiction falls under the genetics of addiction? Addiction runs in my family, and I can see sugar addictive tendencies in myself. Just wondering if they could be one and the same?
ReplyYes because sugar stimulates the same response in the brain as drugs - your dopamine. I talk about this in greater detail in this episode of the Joyous Health Podcast on how to break your sugar addiction: https://www.joyoushealth.com/27341-blog-jhp06-how-to-break-your-sugar-addiction
