If youāve been feeling like your sugar cravings are louder lately⦠this is your reminder:
Itās not about discipline.
Itās about regulation.
Between the holidays and Valentineās Day, most of us never really gave our blood sugar (or our nervous system) a reset. So if youāre reaching for chocolate at 3pm or wanting something sweet every night ā that doesnāt mean you lack willpower.
It usually means something underneath needs support.
In this carousel, Iām breaking down the most common root causes I see in clients:
⢠Blood sugar swings
⢠Undereating
⢠Low protein
⢠Stress + cortisol
⢠Hormone shifts
⢠Sleep deprivation
⢠Habit loops
Cravings are communication.
When we stop trying to ābe strongerā and start getting curious instead, everything changes.
If this resonates, Part 1 is now live inside The Roots Collective where I go deeper into identifying your specific trigger.
And next week in Part 2, Iāll walk you through how to actually reduce cravings ā without extremes or cutting everything out.
Comment āROOTSā if this hit home and you would like more info!
