Summary

What we feed our children will affect not only how they feel, how they learn, and how they behave today but how they function in the future. So, it’s our job as parents to look out for them and make sure they’re nourishing their bodies — unfortunately, it’s really easy to end up with a lot of sugar in your diet in today’s world, with sugar-loaded processed foods conveniently and cheaply available everywhere. And the unfortunate reality is that sugar is insidiously bad for you, and today, you’re going to learn exactly how and why. Our guests are Michael Goran, PhD, and Emily Ventura, PhD, MPH, co-authors of “Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar that are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do.” Both Michael and Emily are also parents, so they understand what each of us are going through and how much effort it takes to take care of our children and protect them from the hidden sugars that creep into our lives at every opportunity. You will learn about... The different types of sugar Why some types of sugar are more damaging to kids than others Why our evolutionary biology makes kids more vulnerable to the damaging effects of sugar What sugar does to our bodies and brain The importance of what you eat when you break your fast (i.e. the first meal of the day) The metabolic impact of sugar intake The impact of sugar on academic performance Why you might want to try one week off sugar in your family It’s not necessarily about cutting sugar out of your life altogether, but being intentional about when you’re eating sugar and being aware what it does to your body Why you can’t rely on sugar substitutes Natural sweeteners that can be used instead of processed white sugar Making food fun Some of Michael and Emily’s favorite recipes Why you should aim to not buy anything with more than 3 grams of added sugar Michael and Emily’s sugar-free self-care The effects of eating added sugars while pregnant Resources: Sugarproofkids.com Instagram: @sugarproofkids Facebook: facebook.com/Sugarproofkids Twitter: @michaelgoran “Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar that are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do” Connect with Kelly: kellyleveque.com Instagram: @bewellbykelly Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is a production of Crate Media Mentioned in this episode: BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.

0:30.1	code at Kellylevac.com, your next order of protein powder. You can either use that on
0:35.5	my grass-fed beef isolate protein or on my new vegan Cho-Cho-Cho bean protein. Now here's
0:41.6	what I love about my protein powders. It's three ingredients or less. We don't use fillers, emulsifiers, no fortified vitamins or minerals. It's easy to digest and naturally made without any enzymes or chemicals like hexane.
0:57.0	So it's three ingredients with my grass-fed beef isolate.
1:00.0	That's 100% grass-fed beef and it's made in the way that you would make bone broth so just heat and water and we dehydrated that end product to get that
1:09.4	Collagen-rich protein powder that your whole family can drink. It can be added to coffees, to smoothies, and you can get it in vanilla, chocolate and unflavored. I want to point out that my vanilla and chocolate is made with organic vanilla bean, organic cacao, and the only sweetener used is organic monk fruit.
1:24.9	We don't use any maltodextrin, our monk fruit is 100% ground monk fruit and it's organic.
1:30.8	And with my vegan line I'm so excited to have launched this and
1:34.7	have it out into the world. It's a regenerative bean from South America called
1:38.8	the Chocho-Cho bean. And the Cho-Cho-Cho-Beane is the most superior plant-based protein powder you can get your hands on because not only is it a complete protein, but the process is made with heat and water only.
1:48.5	They're crushed and soaked and what that end product results in is an anti-nutrient-free protein powder.
