Many of my clients come to me with an insatiable sweet tooth.
Working together, we come up with different strategies for dealing with those pesky sugar cravings. But the most significant strategy is something my clients are often not aware of. It has to do with eating less processed and restaurant food, and therefore much less salt.
When that happens, the sugar cravings dissipate. It feels like magic.
I’ve noticed that most people do not realize that sugar and salt are related.
For this podcast episode I interviewed Andrea Beaman, health coach superstar, natural food chef and thyroid expert. Andrea’s background and knowledge of traditional healing, not to mention sense of humor, made it an enlightening and fun conversation. She explains the sugar/salt thing…and so much more.
Trust me, you won’t read about this stuff in any standard nutrition textbook!
You’ll have to listen to the podcast to get all the details, but here are some highlights:
Frozen yogurt as a cause of thyroid disease?
Andrea shares her encounter with so-called “incurable” thyroid disease, and how it was related to her daily frozen yogurt habit. I bet you’ve never thought about food and healing this way before! Needless to say, Andrea’s thyroid is now happy and healthy.
Who needs meat in their diet, and who is better off without it?
No one diet works for everyone. But why? Food energetics explains why some people thrive on a plant-based diet and others do not. Heart disease? Eat those salads. Fatigue? Maybe you can use an egg or two. Pregnant? Get a steak.
Hair dye, weight lifting and listening to the birds
The energy of food is just the beginning. Your lifestyle plays a huge role in bringing balance (or imbalance) to your body. When was the last time you took a walk or listened to the birds?
The difference between balance and stagnation
While one can try to be “perfect,” Andrea explains how she enjoys Ben & Jerry’s, bread and beer. It’s important to travel to each end of the spectrum, at times. That’s the difference between balance and stagnation.
