Are cravings running the show lately—especially when you’re tired, stressed, or overwhelmed?

This episode breaks down the real biology behind cravings, especially in those managing prediabetes or insulin resistance. Jenny explains how stress, cortisol, blood sugar, and inflammation all interact to increase hunger, reduce self-control, and sabotage your best intentions.

If you’ve ever felt like food has more control over you than you’d like—this episode will help you take that power back with science, strategy, and self-compassion.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why cravings aren’t about willpower—they’re about your hormones

  • How cortisol increases appetite, blood sugar, and belly fat

  • Why people with insulin resistance or diabetes crave more often

  • How poor sleep, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies worsen cravings

  • 3 actionable ways to reduce cravings and feel more in control


Join me for Cravings, Crashes and the 3pm Slump Workshop on Thursday, May 29 at 1 PM EST (free & virtual).
We’ll walk through:

  • The top 3 hidden causes of fatigue and cravings

  • How to stabilize blood sugar naturally

  • A clear strategy to feel focused, fueled, and back in control
