Today's episode is going to clarify the relationship between alcohol, sugar, and cravings. But first, a disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, so nothing in this podcast should be construed as being medical advice. Also, I'm not here to tell you whether or not you're "allowed" to drink alcohol any more than I'm here to tell you if you're "allowed" to eat sugar. This is a judgment-free zone. So here's the thing: A lot of people come to me for help when they've already given up alcohol and find themselves craving sugar. If you find that alcoholic drinks, whatever their sugar level, trigger cravings in you, whether it's for more alcohol or for sugary or salty and crunchy snacks, then that's something to look out for. In fact, a lot of people who don't drink alcohol anymore struggle with sugar cravings. And it's because the brain and the body are craving a sugar fix, or more specifically, a dopamine high. What's the connection between alcohol, sugar, the brain, and the body (especially the liver)? Listen to this episode to find out!
