WELLNESS WORKSHOPS
Sugar Cravings and Your Body, with Emma Hertzberg
December 4, 2023 | 1:00 – 2:00 PM | 6:00 – 7:00 PM | Free
Does this sound familiar?
- You often find yourself turning to sugary foods when you feel stressed, but then feel guilty about it afterwards.
- Your energy is mostly stable until the “afternoon crash” and you desperately need a sugary coffee to “perk you back up.”
- You’ve tried lots of “weight-loss diets” and try to avoid “bad foods”, but often find yourself “falling off track” or “giving in” around sweets.
- You’re tired of the frustrating cycle of trying to do all the right things for your body and health, but still not seeing the results you want, and you are ready to understand why you crave sugar, and what needs to happen so you can look and feel amazing in your body without giving up the foods you love.
Do you feel like no matter how hard you try to stay away from certain foods, you just seem to “lose control” of yourself and overeat, or eat foods you are desperately trying to avoid? It does not need to be this way.
Once you understand how sugar affects you, why you crave it, and what to do about it, you will discover the secret to achieving your health/body goals: learning to work with your body instead of fighting against it.
If you are ready to break the cycle, feel free around food, and inhabit a body that looks and feels amazing with pleasure and ease, come join us for this incredible workshop. You will walk away empowered with countless, actionable insights and clarity around what needs to happen to finally experience the health you deserve.
