Many of us have had trouble around sugar, myself included.

But you know what? This is completely normal!  If you struggle with what feels like “sugar addiction,” it’s not. It’s just a normal brain doing its normal thing.

And you know what else? It is possible to change your attachment to it!

Desire is a LEARNED BEHAVIOR. And what does that mean? It can be UNLEARNED!

You were not born wanting to eat sugar. Yes, you were born with a brain that gets pleasure from eating sugar, but that is not the same as DESIRING sugar. You did not come out of the womb and immediately want a cookie.

But in order to change our relationship with sugar, we need to understand where it comes from and how it works.
