They chat through natural vs artificial sweeteners, how products like diet drinks and protein bars can keep cravings and food noise switched on, and why gut health feels so sensitive post op. You will also hear lots of practical swap ideas, ways to reduce sweeteners without feeling deprived, and gentle mindset prompts to help you build a calmer, more confident relationship with sweetness – whether you are post surgery, on GLP 1s or navigating food addiction.
