253. “Yeast overgrowth can make you crave sugar”: Dr. Carolyn

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Carolyn Dean, who is a medical doctor, naturopath, and author of Exposing Sugar Toxicity.

We discuss sugar and cravings, and how they’re often linked to much more than willpower. The main culprit could actually be yeast overgrowth.

Carolyn shares her personal story (which starts with late-night bowls of ice cream in high school) and explains how she came to understand the deeper connections between sugar, immune health, yeast overgrowth, magnesium deficiency, and more.

We talk about:

• Why your sugar cravings might not actually be yours
• How yeast overgrowth plays a sneaky role in keeping you hooked
• The surprising link between sugar and vitamin C
• What your immune system really needs (and how sugar gets in the way)
• Simple steps to experiment with less sugar and notice how your body responds

This is a science-rich episode, but grounded in real-life experience and gentle suggestions for anyone curious about cutting sugar and feeling better... without guilt or overwhelm.
