Summary
In this episode, we’re talking about sugar and the question so many women over 40 ask: Should you quit completely… or just cut back? If you’ve ever sworn off sweets, only to end up right back where you started, this is for you. We’ll talk about why sugar feels harder in midlife, how stress and hormones play a role, and why the right approach isn’t the same for everyone. You’ll learn how to figure out which path fits you, simple first steps like removing liquid sugar, and why cravings aren’t just about willpower. If you’re stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, this will help you take a steadier next step.
