Sugar Uncovered: Hidden Risks and Easy Fixes 🎙️🍭

Sugar—it’s everywhere, and it’s sneakier than you think. In this week’s episode of Holistic High Achiever, Kaitlin Rohowetz uncovers the hidden dangers of sugar, how it impacts your health, and why balancing your diet doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. From stress eating to processed food labels that hide sugar in plain sight, Kaitlin breaks it all down with practical tips to help you kick the sugar habit for good.

As Kaitlin shares, “When you’re consuming sugar, you’re directly harming your ability to fight off infections.” But it’s not just about the big risks like diabetes and heart disease—sugar also drains your energy, weakens your immune system, and creates a vicious cycle of cravings. In this episode, you’ll learn how to phase in healthier habits that naturally phase out the bad ones, discover the truth about artificial sweeteners, and find easy ways to build a sustainable, sugar-smart lifestyle.
