Ep. 437 The Sugar Addiction No One Talks About — and How to Heal with Wendy Speake

What would happen if we set down sugar for 40 days? Back in 2014, Wendy began—with an organic movement—asking herself and other women this very question… And the movement caught on!  The thousands who joined her realized part way into it that this wasn’t just about a health fast– it was a spiritual fast. Wendy and her friends were faced with the fact that they’d been going to sugar for comfort,   instead of going to God. Rather than going from sugar-high to sugar-high, it was time to turn back to the Most High!  In this podcast we discuss the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that happened when women joined Wendy and fasted from sugar for 40 days. And how that led to a future life free from sugar’s bondage for so many. (And how that crossed paths with Trim Healthy Mama.) Wendy Speake is the author of multiple books, including The 40-Day Sugar Fast, The 40-Day Social Media Fast,  and The 40-Day Feast. She’s also co-author of the popular parenting book Triggers: Exchanging Parents' Angry Reactions for Gentle, Biblical Responses. Known for the uncanny way she meets women in their most common struggles, from sugar-addiction to mommy-anger, Wendy uses every opportunity to point readers to the healing and transforming  power found in God's Word.
