029. "I used sugar to numb my feelings": Melissa

When she was still consuming sugar, Melissa was very anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, and angry. As a young child, she used to hide sweet foods in her room, and she continued to eat lots of sugar into her adult years.Then when she became a mother and had her second child who wasn't sleeping, and her first child who had sensory challenges and food allergies, it was her chiropractor who asked her: What are you eating?And she started learning about food and its impact on her energy, her moods, and her emotional needs.When she started training to be a certified health coach, she started to really think about why she was turning to sugar. Now she feels better equipped to cope with the ups and downs of life. She can actually feel her emotions and express them instead of use sugar to numb her feelings. She's developed other healthier tools to deal with them.
