Although I'm trained as a journalist -- received my master's from Northwestern University -- my initial interest in the subject of "sugar addiction" and the dangers of sugars and refined carbs began with my own experiences, bedause I was besieged by a host of baffling ailments, including ferocious headaches, befudding "brain fog," crippling fatigue, unpredictable lethargy and much more. Ultimately, on doctor's orders, I quit sugar and refined carbs, and presto, all my symptoms disappeared, and I became a new woman, full of energy, optimism and joie de vivre. For my book SUGAR SHOCK!, I interviewed some 250 health experts (researchers, nutritionists, doctors, public health advocates, industry insiders) and connected with thousands of self-described "sugar addicts." Although SUGAR SHOCK! dishes the sour news about sweets, ultimately it gives you a message of hope and it offers some tips to break out of sugar shock.

You can listen every week to my lively, fast-paced, half-hour Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show, which you can tune into at any time, at your convenience. Experts in the field of health, wellness and actualization are interviewed. (Just visit my www.SugarShockBlog.com to get the link.)
