Ep. #178 | Becoming Sugar-free with Julie Daniluk
Listen on Apple Podcasts
Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I’m delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women’s revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.
Today, I am so excited and honored to be interviewing one of my dearest friends and nutritionist, Julie Daniluk. Julie has been on the podcast before and today makes it extra special because we are the first podcast to be interviewing her all about her brand new book, which is actually her fourth book called Becoming sugar-free.
The work, research and time that Julie dedicates to the craft and art of what she puts out there into the world is inspiring.
So in this episode, Julie and I talk about the impact that sugar, processed foods, sweeteners, artificial flavors and colors can have on our digestive system and how our digestive system is quite literally the foundation of where all other elements and factors of our health begin.
We also touch on Julie’s upcoming sugar-free program, starting this coming October 2021, that will delve into the emotional parts of sugar-free living and really support people step by step through a 30 day process with a live group so that people can feel that support throughout their journey.
You can find links to Julie Daniluk’s multi platform services, as well as social / websites and publishing’s below in the ‘Connect with us’ section of the show notes. You will also find below linked info about our partners and recommended products to try.
