Dr. Jacob Teitlebaum is a nationally known expert in the USA in the fields of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, sleep, and pain. His own personal story is touching and inspiring, and he tells about his own health struggles in this episode.In this episode, Dr. Teitlebaum also talks about  4 major sources of cravings:low energyfeeling irritable when hungry ("hangry") - low blood sugarcandida or yeast overgrowthmenopause/hormones that trigger anxiety & depressionWe also talk about insulin resistance on a cellular level, and he explains how blood sugar and insulin work, and how insulin is involved with fat storage, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, low blood sugar, mood swings,  cortisol, and adrenal fatigue.There is no "one size fits all"  approach, but his (and my!) conclusion is this:Eat real whole foods that are nutrient dense and that don't spike your insulin.Find Dr. Teitlebaum's books here: https://secure.endfatigue.com/products/booksTo get personal guidance, support, and accountability to live your healthier lifestyle and let go of sugar: Join the the After Sugar Club today!To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
