In today’s solo episode Britt Olson breaks down the 6 reasons you might be addicted to sugar paired with a variety of ways to combat your pesky sugar cravings. Dealing with extreme cravings or possible food addiction of any kind is no small task. It not only feels all consuming, but these foods also tend to rule our lives. You may often feel totally out of control to these cravings. So if you are anything like Britt once was, and you are tired of feeling like you can’t make it out of the grocery store without a trip down the candy aisle or stand no chance against your kitchen pantry or freezer drawer come 3 in the afternoon, this conversation is definitely for you. 

While there are a host of reasons you might be addicted to sugar, Britt keeps things simple by sharing 6 of the more common reasons paired with a glimpse into her 3-step approach to quitting your sugar habit once and for all.

Britt created a 3-step approach to quitting your sugar habit and returning to the real you. For what many may not realize is how your sugar habit is impacting your sense of purpose in life, emotional health, and brain health. Sugar goes far beyond impacting the physical body. Her approach utilizes 9 wellness tools, grouped into 3 mini rituals that you can easily incorporate into your day to day. After her own overpowering sweet tooth that developed postpartum, Britt created this unique mind body approach for her own recovery, and later recognized the value in this approach for others outside of herself, so she decided to bring it to life for the wellbeing of others too.

This solo episode covers a variety of topics including:

• 6 reasons you may be addicted to sugar 

• The brain on sugar and why you can’t quit your sugar habit

• Factors contributing to your sugar cravings such as dehydration, lack of sleep, and stress

• The role nutrition and supplementation plays to sugar cravings and blood sugar levels

• Hormonal imbalance and sugar cravings

• Tips to reduce your sugar cravings

• Tools to reference when a sugar craving strikes 

“If you felt like one of the six ways you might be addicted to sugar connects with you - please know that you are not alone. And please hold zero shame for yourself too. Honestly, in our sugar-heavy world we are pretty much set up to fail. Sugar not only acts as a mind and mood-altering drug, it's put in virtually everything you consume. You’d be shocked to find how much sugar is added to foods that you may not typically expect. This is extremely common in the health food world as products are labeled or marketed as being quote on quote healthy, when really they are loaded with sugars or oils. If anyone was to actually measure their daily sugar intake, they would be floored at how much sugar is in their diets. So if you feel you are probably not of the 75% of the US population consuming too much sugar, once you start reading your ingredient labels, you might be in for a rude awakening.”

• Pregnancy nutrition, and supplementation

• Dehydration and breastfeeding

• Stress and overwhelm as a new mom

• Working with a sugar habit as a new mom

• Hormonal imbalance and sugar cravings

“Now I’m not here to tell you that quitting your sugar habit is going to be easy. It’s going to take dedication, discipline, and some creativity and flexibility on your end - but it’s worth it mama. It’s worth it to get to the other side and take back some control in your life. Because as a mom, I now see how ungrounding it is to feel completely out of control of everything in your life, all of the time. Feeling out of uncontrol pulls you away from your center and even leaves you questioning your reality, I get it.”

Here’s the thing many of us fail to realize until we step into motherhood ourselves - motherhood looks different to everyone. It’s a journey not a destination. How yesterday went, has zero cause and effect as to how today might be going. 

A new mom telling everyone how much she loves her baby holds zero indication as to how she’s actually doing mentally. A mom can love their new baby and be deeply struggling with the transition into motherhood or the postpartum experience. 

Today's conversation is a short one with just a couple tips for those of us struggling as to how to best support mom friends. And I get it, I was once there too. Until I became a mom myself, I had zero clue what my mom friends needed from me during their times of transition. 

So to the mama out there feeling alone with a loss of community - this episode is for you <3 

And to the best friend not sure how to support her friend’s transition into motherhood - this is episode is also for you <3

“Help your mom friend feel like the world isn’t moving on without her. Continue inviting her to movie nights, Zoom meetups, yoga classes, park dates, whatever you and your other friends are making plans for - invite your mom friend. Even though you know she already can’t go, that doesn’t matter. It’s the receiving of the invitation that brings life to her. And who knows, one day she might be available. So don’t also assume she’s never available.”

In this solo conversation, Britt breaks down the current trend of wellness influencers moving away from vegan lifestyles and announcing the reintroduction of meat back into their diets. She speaks to the importance of following your own body’s cues, being open to constant change, and maintaining your own discernment as to what works vs. doesn’t work for your individual body and health needs.

“Your life is yours to be lived, so take inspiration from the lives of others and try different things on, of course, that’s the time we live in – and – make your life, your life. Do not try to textbook copy someone else’s life because social media portrays a certain preview … do not try to copy the way someone is feeding or supporting their health, solely off of what one is choosing to share with the public.”

This solo episode covers a variety of topics including:

·      The pros and cons of social media influencers

·      Our easily influenced society

·      Getting caught in wellness trends

·      The high-protein trend going around

·      Moving from a vegan diet to a meat-based diet

·      Vegan vs. Plant-Based

·      The healing properties of various whole foods from the earth

·      Healing protocols vs. dietary trends

·      A bio-individual viewpoint to health and wellness

·      Discerning your body’s individual needs and cues

·      Remaining open to change and evolution in a human experience  

“But in return of this movement, it’s pushed our society to get creative and really change up the conventional farming as it pertains to meat. Suddenly labels started shifting and a couple companies got creative in finding ways to get clean, healthy variations of meat out to more of the general public …”

“I simply encourage you to give yourself permission to experiment with the various styles of food available to you and your unique body.  Experiment, have fun, enjoy the process – it’s a privilege to be able to eat food, truly. And try to not label yourself. Try to not get caught up in fads, trends, and the lingering diet culture that still exists in our culture today, and remember to nourish yourself from the inside out at all times.”

Stepping into the role of the mother brought Britt to the depths of her soul, guiding her through a spiritual journey of self-discovery like none other. Becoming a mom came with so many blissful and lifelong, memory-making moments in correlation with other darker and sometimes scarier thought-induced moments of reality too. As Britt has learned along the way, this change can bring up our shadows and sides of ourselves we don’t always like to be confronted with.

In today’s solo episode Britt openly shares about some of the not so pretty moments she encountered in her initial transition and what she did to bring herself back to more of her baseline, conscious self. It was important for Britt to share this piece of her journey so that other mom’s out there will feel less alone in their experience. For as Britt witnessed, the initial transition into motherhood can feel lonelier than one may realize.

As always, the intention behind this conversation is to inspire and guide you along a mindful exploration to living a more fluid life through a deeper connection to the soul.

“Stepping into motherhood and navigating the early postpartum waters of suddenly having another being directly dependent on me has been deeply beautiful AND equally challenging. I sit with both high stress and deep gratitude simultaneously, all of the time.”

This solo episode covers a variety of topics including:

·      Mom rage and the associated guilt

·      Moving through a dysregulated nervous system

·      Lessons of motherhood and life transitions

·      A 3-step process to feeling good with yourself as a new mom

·      Reasons to disconnect from social media

·      Cultivating an impactful meditation practice

·      Seeking one-on-one therapeutic support

“It’s okay for your journey to look different than that of others. It’s okay to normalize the not so shiny moments of this human experience. In fact, I encourage you to love and normalize all parts of you. And to always remember to celebrate how far you’ve come.”

Throughout Britt’s recent journey with growing and birthing a human into this world, she’s been shown the true power of the body and all that it is capable of. In today’s solo Britt shares her varying perspectives on physical health from food to cravings, body image, and nourishing the body with loving compassion. While she comes to this solo from mostly a pregnancy lens, however, she feels the information is still relevant to anyone’s wellness journey, pregnant or not.

“Proper nutrition is a lifeline. And with nutrition also comes proper supplementation and ensuring you are feeding your individual body with the specific nutrients your individual body needs. What we consume is vital and becoming conscious of what we consume is so life giving. I’m going to specifically be referencing food today, but consumption also comes in the form of toxins, news, media, relationships, words, etc.”

This solo episode covers a variety of topics including:

·      Observing the health of the female body

·      Pregnancy cravings, nutrition, and supplementation

·      Nutrition for overall female health

·      Intrinsic cravings vs. extrinsic wants

·      The role presence plays in connecting to your body

·      Listening to the body’s cues

·      A bio-individual viewpoint to health

·      Developing a loving relationship with your body

“I feel the entirety of my experiences in this department provided such an important lesson on staying present enough to listen to the cues we are being given. I wasn’t eating much meat going into pregnancy, got pregnant and suddenly needed meat – would have killed for meat a couple times, literally. It was a primal urge, a signal from my body, not mental at all. Completely different. Cravings and our ways of eating often get so blurred as we try to understand what our bodies vs. our minds are communicating to us.”
