Freedom from Cravings
Self-Study ($175)
Ever wonder why you can eat healthy but still have a 3 p.m. crash that sends you to Starbucks or the vending machine for chips or Peanut M&Ms?
Cravings are a biology game, not a willpower or discipline game. So-called bad habits – like eating too many samples at a grocery store, craving sweetener in your coffee, or “caving” to pre-dinner temptation – are actually signs your body is starving (even if your stomach is full).
“Correcting” bad habits and “discipline” don’t work because cravings and out of control hunger are triggered by blood sugar levels screaming that your biology and food are mismatched. They won’t stop their insistence until you learn the mechanics of what your body uniquely needs to correct imbalances. Generic advice from magazine or nutrition “experts” doesn’t take into account your unique biology and history. In this program, we’ll guide you through experiences and experiments to determine what your biology needs to feel satiated, focused, optimistic and energized.
