Cravings: Curious about why you crave certain foods?

There are a variety of different factors both physical and psychological; I work with clients to understand and conquer their personal cravings. High sugar and saturated fat foods (think processed junk foods) increase your levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates your appetite and makes you crave more fake, highly processed foods. If you balance your blood sugar levels with the right combination of foods every three to four hours, you will feel empowered, satisfied and not craving that junk food. Not to mention you will feel happier, be more productive and simply glow!
