Dr Jen Unwin talks about how sugar addiction is a difficult condition to manage for a few reasons:
- Adults and kids are encouraged to consume sweet treats, making it challenging to avoid.
- Diabetes can be reversed through lifestyle changes and adherence to advice.
Sugar addiction leads to the body's reliance on artificial dopamine and serotonin.
- Carbohydrate and sweet fixes hinder the body's natural ability to create dopamine and serotonin.
- Insulin blocks fat burning, leading to continuous hunger and overeating.
