Are you addicted to sugar? Do you find yourself gravitating towards the candy bowl at 3pm every afternoon, or experiencing intense cravings for sweets that feel out of your control? I speak to many clients who feels as though sugar is their downfall. That they are able to eat really well, but then experience huge sugar cravings they can’t seem to resist.
So why do we feel the cravings? What makes us addicted to sweets? What I want you to know is that it’s not that you lack willpower. Sugar has a really interesting effect on our body at a physiological level that causes us to get stuck in a cycle of highs and lows that lead to energy crashes and intense cravings that can feel out of our control.

In this video I give you my #1 tip for getting rid of sugar cravings!
Are you dealing with symptoms of chronic fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune disease, pain or digestive issues?
You’ve gone to doctor after doctor. You’ve received some answers, have started on medications and notice some relief (thank goodness!) but are still left feeling exhausted, stressed, inflamed and not fully yourself?
Or maybe every test has come back “normal” and your practitioners have told you that there isn’t anything they can do, to come back when things get worse, or to simply manage your stress better?
If yes, then you are someone who would benefit form 1:1 holistic health coaching.
Health coaching is a necessary extension of the health care system in that together we have more time to uncover issues, implement strategies and assess outcomes together. Autoimmune disease is complex and to address it we need to come at it from all angles (pharmaceutical therapies from your doctor while also focusing on root cause factors like gut health, diet, sleep and stress). I offer accountability, a knowledgeable resource and most importantly support.
I always offer free 30-minute discovery sessions to get clear on your major health concerns and what’s standing in your way. Click the button below to set up your free consultation and we can create a plan of action specifically for you.

She is also the co-author of The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook and co-host of The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast with Angie Alt, as well as the creator of the video-based cooking program, AIP Batch Cook which is fantastic by the way. Her new cookbook, the Nutrient Dense Kitchen came out earlier this year and is an amazing resource for implementing a nutrient dense diet. When embarking on healing diets we focus a lot on what we can’t eat, but focusing on the nutrients we can receive and maximizing our nutritional intake makes a HUGE difference in the healing process.
Mickey is a pioneer in this alternative approach to healing autoimmune disease and going beyond medicine and I’m so thrilled to have her here today sharing her knowledge!
