Summary

View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal Excess sugar consumption is one of the deadliest drugs of our time, and it’s virtually ubiquitous in our modern-day industrialized food system. Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar—from blended coffees to protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between. Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental and metabolic health. As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed. But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14 days. In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel better, and more energized. In this episode, I discuss: The prevalence of sugar in our diet and its impact on mental health (2:00) Hidden sources of sugar in our diets (7:27) How sugar affects our mood and brain function (11:42) How insulin resistance leads to systemic inflammation and changes in mood (16:16) Strategies to reduce sugar intake for better mental health (20:41) The role of supplements, exercise, stress, and sleep in blood sugar management (26:40) This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Fatty 15.
