I recorded today's episode in the middle of my trip to Italy.  Finding meal options that worked for me proved much more difficult then I thought.  We also were much more active then normal so I was really hungry and that is a trigger for me.  Listen to hear more about my experience and difficulties I encountered in the beautiful country.

In today's episode I talk about my wish to eliminate or at least reduce the amount of sugar in schools.  Sugar does not offer any nutritional value and can cause hyperactivity, behavioral issues and weaken our children's immune systems making them more susceptible to illness.  I ask that we find other ways to motivate and reward our children and make our schools a healthy environment for our children to thrive.  

In today's episode I talk about why I choose not to weigh myself anymore and why I don't diet.  Both of these things have allowed me to feel even more freedom from the negative self chatter that used to be a daily part of my sugar addicted days.    

In today's episode I will be interviewing Dr. Stanzie Langtree, who will talk about network spinal analysis and energetic alignment as part of my series about alternative modalities to help you on your journey to sugar freedom.      More information about Dr. Stanzie: https://stanzielangtree.com/
