Summary

This is one of the most popular podcast episodes - for good reason! While not everyone has a sweet tooth, a lot of us do, and it's often hard to break the sugar habit. Why is that so true? It turns out there are a lot of forces driving those cravings: emotional, psychological, and even biological. It's no wonder they're not easy to resist. In today's episode, we dive into the details. My guest is holistic psychologist Dr. Vickie Bhatia. We discuss everything from the gut microbiome and brain chemistry, to the emotions surrounding food, to the psychology of habit change. Most importantly, we share practical tips for making empowered food choices, and breaking the sugar craving cycle.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to autoimmune resilience. While there is no cure for
0:06.5	autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.
0:11.8	I'm Eileen Laird, your host. In this podcast, I interview experts in the fields of nutrition, lifestyle,
0:18.7	mindset, and integrative medicine. I also interview people with
0:22.5	autoimmune disease just like you. We can learn so much from each other. This podcast is named
0:28.8	Phoenix Helix, and it's after the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes. If you've ever felt

1:03.3	Music Welcome to episode one 99.
1:21.8	Our topic today is overcoming sugar cravings.
1:25.6	Before we dive in, a quick note for me, if you listen to episode
1:29.2	198 of this podcast, you know I just published a new book called Healing Mindset. I'm very excited
1:36.3	about it. It was three years in the making and the months leading up to publication were
1:41.5	especially labor intensive. So in support of my own autoimmune health,
1:46.6	I'm taking a much needed rest. And instead of releasing a new episode this week, I'm sharing a
1:52.4	favorite from the archives that you might have missed. And that's what this episode is all about.
