The Major Degenerative Disease

. . . in America today

. . . is treatable.

It is very treatable.

It is eating too much.

It is a lifestyle disease.
We live in a toxic environment of processed food, fast food, huge portions, trans fats, sugar everywhere, emotional immaturity and corporate greed. Plus a health care system that profits off of our sickness.

Many people, including me, who are dealing with weight issues have sugar sensitivity.
Sugar Sensitivity is defined as a bio-chemistry of carbohydrate sensitivity affecting and affected by lower genetic levels of the brain chemicals serotonin, beta endorphin and dopamine. The various patterns associated with sugar sensitivity are attraction to and the consumption of a lot of sweets; a fondness for bread, cereal, popcorn and/or pasta; having or once having had a problem with alcohol or drugs; having one or both parents be alcoholic or sugar sensitive; being overweight and having a problem losing the extra pounds; depression; overreacting to stress and a surprising history of anger.

Sugar Sensitivity is a theory, the working hypothesis of Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D.
It is based on her observations in the recovery field, in-depth investigation into the growing solid scientific research and the input of thousands of people on the online community Radiant Recovery.

I recommend her book Potatoes Not Prozac.

Go for a walk.
Eat whole foods.
Get some rest.
