27. Do Artificial Sweeteners Cause Weight Gain?

Thriving through Menopause Podcast

Ever wonder if that zero-calorie sweetener is too good to be true?
Today, we're uncovering the truth behind sweeteners of all kinds, from the natural bounty of the stevia plant to lab-created concoctions, and dissecting their impact on the delicate balance of our body's homeostasis.
I'll guide you through the science of insulin's role in weight management and debunk the myth that natural always equals safe, with a closer look at high fructose corn syrup’s nefarious side.
The conversation gets even more personal as I share my own experiences with cutting down on artificial sweeteners—starting with my morning coffee—and invite you to consider the concept of aiming for 80% accuracy in health goals, leaving room for life's little indulgences.
We tackle not only the potential for artificial sweeteners like sucralose to add unwanted belly fat but also their influence on our gut flora and the insidious way they can heighten hunger.
Tune in for an enlightening session that will empower your menopausal journey, arm you with the knowledge to scrutinize food labels, and inspire you to make wiser choices for your overall well-being.
