Ultra-processed foods are everywhere — even in products that look healthy. In this eye-opening episode of the Bariatric Rewrite Podcast, Helen and Evie unpack what’s really hiding in our cupboards, how UPFs affect our hormones, cravings, and gut health, and why they can make life after bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medications so much harder.

Learn how to:
 • Spot hidden sugars, sweeteners, and emulsifiers on labels
 • Understand the science behind blood-sugar spikes and dopamine “craving loops”
 • Protect your gut microbiome and balance your mood
 • Make simple, realistic swaps that restore calm and control

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about peace.
 🎧 Listen now to start breaking up with UPFs and reconnect with real food, real energy, and a quieter mind.
