In this enlightening episode of The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast, Eric Edmeades takes centre stage to unravel the mysteries behind sugar cravings. Spoiler alert: it's not just about lacking willpower. With a fascinating blend of anthropology and modern science, Eric explains that our desire for sugar is deeply rooted in ancient survival instincts.
As the founder of WildFit and an honorary member of the Hadza tribe, Eric shares his wealth of knowledge on how these instincts, once vital for survival, have been hijacked by the modern food industry. You'll be intrigued by Eric's personal anecdotes, like his own journey from caffeine dependency to understanding the broader implications of sugar on our health.

If you're battling sugar cravings or curious about the link between diet and chronic diseases, this episode is a treasure trove of information. Eric's insights challenge the conventional wisdom about nutrition and offer practical steps for anyone looking to break free from sugar's grip.
