Chapters

Did you know that the average American consumes 50 pounds of hidden sugar every year? Okay, that's a lot, and it's important to understand that added sugars are addictive and can be traced to many health issues in children. Now, as a mom and naturopathic doctor, I understand the struggles in trying to limit sugar intake for our kids. It's everywhere and it's so hard to avoid. But here's the thing: you're not a bad parent for giving your kids sugar. It's just about reining it in a bit and being mindful of the amounts we're consuming. The human body can only process a certain amount of added sugar per day. Now, let's not confuse added sugar with natural sugars found in fruit, dairy, veggies, grains. That's not what I'm talking about, okay? They're metabolized differently by the body. And just set limits on all that added sugar for the sake of the family's health, okay? I'm here to help and support you in this journey. Now comment below and share what do you do with your family to help reduce sugars. Moms have such great ideas, okay? Let's support one another. I'm so excited to hear from you. Give me your tips below.
