#21 How To Reset Sugar Cravings & Change Your Taste Buds

Sugar cravings aren't a willpower problem. They're a biology problem, and food manufacturers have spent years making sure you stay hooked.

In this coaching clinic, Marisa walks through the four-step protocol she uses with clients (and herself) to reset sugar cravings, retrain taste buds, and break the spike-crash-crave cycle without eliminating pleasure from your life entirely.

What's covered:
How refined sugar hijacks your dopamine pathways the same way addictive substances do, and why that means willpower will never be enough on its own.

The 100+ names sugar hides behind on packaging, and the products most women assume are healthy that are quietly keeping them stuck.

Why "sugar-free" can actually be worse for your gut than real sugar.

The four-step protocol: setting boundaries instead of restrictions, swapping rather than eliminating, retraining your taste buds gradually, and shifting your identity around food.

Why this matters beyond aesthetics, including the connection between sugar, cortisol, hormonal balance, and belly fat through every stage of life from postpartum to perimenopause.

This is not about cutting sugar out forever. It is about upgrading what pleasure means, so the thing you reach for at 9pm actually serves you.
Recipes mentioned in this episode are available on the FitMom app under the recipe tab.
