Happy Wednesday, !

It’s 9:30 PM, and that pint of ice cream in the freezer feels like it’s calling your name… 

You’re not even hungry, but somehow, it’s all you can think about.

Well, it’s not just your brain playing tricks on you! Your gut might be running the show.

Let’s break it down.

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria—and some of them thrive on sugar. 

When things get out of balance, the “bad” bacteria send signals to your brain, making you crave sweets to keep them happy.

Crazy, right? A study from Caltech found that disrupted gut bacteria can lead to a 50% increase in sugar cravings. 🤯

And another study from Columbia revealed that sugar doesn’t just fuel cravings—it also damages your gut, creating a vicious cycle. 

Here’s the good news…

👉 You’re not stuck with these cravings.

You CAN break the cycle and take back control.

By making a few small changes, you can rebalance your gut and crush those cravings.

Start here:

• Feed the good bacteria.
• Add fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, or yogurt to your meals. These help bring balance to your gut and keep the “bad” bacteria in check.

• Balance your blood sugar. 
• Make sure every meal includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber. This keeps your energy steady and those “I need something sweet NOW” moments at bay.

• Hydrate smarter.
• Dehydration can sometimes feel like a craving. Keep a water bottle handy and drink it throughout the day.

• Satisfy cravings wisely.
• Craving something sweet? Go for a handful of berries or a square (or two!) of dark chocolate. You’ll satisfy the craving and keep your gut happy.

Coach’s Tip: When a craving hits, I’ll whip up a quick Greek yogurt bowl with a drizzle of honey and some nuts. It feels like a treat, but keeps me on track.

You don’t have to let cravings call the shots. With a few simple tweaks, you’ll feel more energized, balanced, and back in control.
