Episode 12: The Truth About Sugar!

SUGAR!!! It’s a thing, and it’s EVERYWHERE. Whether we’re alcohol free or not, navigating the world of food is just not possible without sugar playing some part. The thing is… there’s ‘added’ sugar, ‘healthy sugar’, ‘hidden sugar’ (the list goes on) so how on earth do we figure this stuff out? We get a guide, that’s how! And today’s guest is just that.

This Naked Mind coach and functional nutritionist Teri Patterson is here to save the day with the low down on the sweet stuff and what we can do to take back control if we’ve found ourselves eating too many donuts over lockdown. Come tune in to get some clear, up-to-date and actionable ideas around sugar.

This episode was originally recorded for the Present and Sober Podcast by my friends Sam Goldfinch and Ellie Crowe and aired on November 2, 2021.
