Day 1: Identify Your Triggers

Over the next 5 days, my goal is to help you identify the real causes of your sugar cravings - and how to address them wholistically.

To start us off…

From our oldest ancestors, scientists have observed that human beings are designed to seek out and repeat any activity that helps us survive.

This includes eating foods that contain high amounts of sugar, which our bodies need for energy.
