It's Dopamine, Not Sugar...

Show Notes

Your sugar addiction might be hiding something deeper…

Today I am joined by someone I love very much and who I'm so proud of for opening up and being so vulnerable on this episode and that is my husband. I often talk about how excited I am for these episodes and I'm extra excited today. My husband Alex has competed in the past and has had his bouts with binge eating and other dopamine related issues. He joins me to share what he's learned throughout his journey and how it can help you manage your dopamine levels and understand the root cause of the actions you don't want to partake in.
