<p>5 KEY TAKEAWAYS</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1.Dopamine’s Role: Sugar addiction is less about the sugar itself and more about how sugar triggers dopamine release, influencing pleasure and reward pathways in the brain.</p>
<p>2.Community Support: Surrounding yourself with a supportive community can significantly aid in overcoming sugar cravings by fostering healthy habits and emotional support.</p>
<p>3.NAD+ Injections: These can recalibrate your body’s response to sugar by altering brain chemistry, specifically through increasing adenosine levels which help counteract the effects of dopamine.</p>
<p>4.Leptin Control: Managing leptin levels can help regulate body weight and reduce the propensity towards sugar by balancing the body’s internal signals for hunger and satiety.</p>
<p>5.Use of CGM: Implementing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices can provide real-time feedback on how different foods affect blood sugar levels, helping to manage cravings and maintain stable glucose levels.</p>
