In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: sugar. We’re unpacking why sugar isn’t inherently bad for you, why it isn’t addictive in the way people claim, and why your runner body actually benefits from strategically using simple carbs.
You’ll learn:
Why sugar triggers dopamine (and why that’s not the same thing as addiction)
The difference between physiological dependence and normal pleasure responses
How underfueling makes sugar cravings feel “out of control”
Why runners need quick-access carbs for performance, hormone balance, and recovery
How to enjoy sugar without fear, guilt, or TikTok-fueled misconceptions
