Episode 64 Netta Gorman- a life after sugar. How Netta discovered the real sweetness and health in her life.

Until the age of 45, Netta had always eaten "normally"... that is, 3 meals a day, sometimes a snack or two, and treats on special occasions. She was a self-identified sweet tooth. Not a day went by without her eating chocolate, cookies, or some kind of sweet dessert. And she didn't have a problem with that. She was lucky in that she hardly put on weight - maybe an extra 15lbs over the years, at the most. But weight isn't the only sign of health issues. From her early thirties Netta had been suffering from a very slow digestion, with bloating and pain, as well as infertility issues, depression and mood swings, achy joints, and signs of a fatty liver. It was only when she tried cutting out sugar, sweeteners and flour in 2015 for a period of two weeks in the hopes of improving her digestion that she realized just how much sugar in its various forms had been hijacking her health. It started off as a temporary experiment to cut down sugar, but after only a few weeks she ended up feeling so much better that she just carried on and never looked back. And it's been almost 6 years! Yes, she lost her extra pounds, but more than that, she gained more energy, her digestion and liver went back to normal, her spare tire melted away, she felt 20 years younger and her whole relationship with sugar and herself changed! She also learned how to make her own probiotic (fermented) foods and drinks for her gut health, like yogurt, kefir, kombucha and lacto-fermented sauerkraut. Intermittent fasting came naturally as a result of appetite correction about a year after she cut sugar. Now she eats once or twice a day, and enjoys her food like never before. Because she's a teacher, she started giving workshops to help other people break free from sugar and get back their energy for life... and now she has an online program, a website and a podcast called Life After Sugar!
