Why do some people constantly crave sugar while others seem to have steady energy all day?
In this episode, I uncover how your metabolism, nervous system, and hormones work together to shape your cravings, hunger, and energy levels. I share the difference between being a “sugar burner” and a “fat burner,” and how living in protection mode can slow your metabolism, fuel emotional eating, and keep you stuck in cycles of hunger.
I’ll walk you through why stress, unresolved trauma, and certain lifestyle habits can push your body toward sugar dependency—and how shifting your nervous system state can naturally help you become a fat burner. You’ll learn practical steps to break free from constant cravings, balance your energy, and create a calmer, healthier lifestyle without having to rely on willpower alone.
Listen now to unlock the secret to a metabolism that works with you, not against you.
Topics Covered:
Understanding Metabolism and Nervous System States
Impact of Protection Mode on Metabolism
Signs of Being a Sugar Burner
Transition to Being a Fat Burner
Reprogramming Your Body’s Fuel Use
Benefits of Switching to Fat Burning
