I'm coming for fun and feelings.

I'm cruising.

Brought to you by Nutritional Weight and Wellness.

I am Brittany Vincent, a registered and licensed dietitian.

I have been working individually with clients for the past 11 years.

When I chose my major in the field of dietetics, many of my family members thought that as a dietitian, I would only

be teaching clients how to lose weight. And yes, I mean, a lot of people do make the appointment

for that very reason to lose weight. But an interesting thing happens when these clients change their

diet choices to lose weight.

They often find that their aches and pains go away too, amongst many other health benefits

that happen just with eating real food. There is most definitely a sugar connection to aches

and pains. There's also a sugar connection

to hormonal problems and many other health conditions that if you're a regular

dishing up nutrition listener, you hear us talking about. But today, Teresa and I will discuss

the connection sugar has to many health problems, especially how sugar creates more inflammation in the body and causes aches and pains.

At nutritional weight and wellness, we call these sugar aches.

Those sugar aches are so common, aren't they?

Yes, I am.

They're so common that many times I think people don't know that their aches and pains aren't just because they're getting older or because of an old injury or surgery, but are more because of the food that they're eating.

You know, because we eat the same things.

Very often, I think they say that most people eat the same 20 foods pretty regularly.

And so if we're eating the same thing over and over again, it's really hard to make that connection because things aren't changing that dramatically.
