As we move into what many call "sugar season," we must recognize how this time of year—starting with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and leading up to the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays—can significantly impact our health and well-being. Dr Leigh Richardson, founder of The Brain Performance Center and host of the In Your Head podcast, speaks with Dr Nicole Avena—a research neuroscientist, author, and expert in nutrition, diet, and addiction—to discuss sugar addiction and how to overcome it as explored in her book, Sugarless. Their conversation also touches on hidden sugars in foods and their various names, the dangers of ultra-processed foods, and the importance of involving kids in nutrition.
