234. "Too much sugar can lead to a fatty liver": Jodie Jul 06, 2025

Show notes

Jodie grew up eating relatively healthy foods.

But it was later in life, when she started having health issues, that she was diagnosed with celiac disease.

She changed her diet significantly, and started to study nutrition and especially how sugar affects the liver.

In this episode, Jodie explains about different types of sugar, and how the fructose molecule in sugar can lead to a fatty liver, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)*.

* The new term for NAFLD is MASLD (Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease).

233. "Sugar was toxic for me": Emmanuel Jun 29, 2025

Show notes

Reverend Emmanuel is an empath. That means that he's very sensitive, and feels everything around him.

From a young age, he used processed foods and candy bars to shield him from pain and toxic energy.

In his mid-30s, he started to heal himself. He learned to start feeling and to deal with his feelings.

He cleaned sugar out of his diet and healed his microbiome. He started to listen to his body.

Because, as Emmanuel says, the body doesn't lie.

Now he no longer experiences pain, so he doesn't need to numb it.

Listen to what Emmanuel eats now, and how he got toxicity out of his and his family's life.

231. "I stopped suffering when I cut gluten and sugar": Jennifer Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

When she was younger, Jennifer suffered terribly from pain, inflammation, lack of energy, bloating, plus a ton of other symptoms.

But she was always told that she was "healthy".

Gluten was not talked about 15-20 years ago, so Jennifer had to keep pushing to get to the root cause of her symptoms.

Then one doctor sent Jennifer to a dietitian who told her that she shouldn't eat gluten.

And that was the beginning of a whole new voyage of discovery!

Listen to Jennifer's inspiring story of how her life was transformed when she cut processed foods that contain gluten and sugar.

Find Jennifer here.

229. "Moderating sugar and eating clean works for me": Irene Jun 01, 2025

Show notes

Irene grew up with parents who grew up on a farm. Her mother loved sugar and processed foods, but she also did a lot of cooking, making hearty meals.

Both of Irene's parents were overweight, and eventually they were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

In this episode, we discuss:

saturated fats
moderating sugar versus abstaining
weight loss
sweeteners
feeling better, and different ways to get there
what we eat in a day (and how often)
naturally occurring sugars (like in fruit) and added sugar
treats
understanding those who are different from us

Where sugar's concerned, Irene is a moderator and she can handle just a little. But I (and maybe you) can't.

We're all different. And that's the beauty of this conversation.
