If you’ve ever felt like cravings derail your best intentions, this episode is for you.

Cravings aren’t weakness — they’re signals from your body that something deeper is off. From blood sugar swings to hormone shifts, cravings have root causes you can actually fix.

In this episode of The Metabolic Edit, I break down what your cravings really mean, and the strategies to finally take back control without relying on willpower.

We cover:

  • Why cravings are your body’s “check engine light” (not a lack of discipline)
  • 5 root causes of cravings: nutrient deficiencies, hormones, blood sugar rollercoasters, sleep, and the “crappy food cycle”
  • How processed foods are literally designed to hijack your brain’s reward system
  • Simple fixes: protein-packed first meals, pairing carbs, walking after meals, stress + sleep strategies, and smarter swaps

Cravings don’t have to control you. Once you decode the signal, you can get back in the driver’s seat and fuel your body in a way that works.
