She describes a long history of feeling controlled by sugar, relying on sweets for comfort, and experiencing physical symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, and digestive distress while believing it was simply a lack of willpower.
Together, Paige and Netta explore what actually drives sugar addiction, why discipline alone is not enough, and what it takes to step out of the cycle of cravings and into lasting change. Netta shares what ultimately helped her break free from constant cravings and begin rebuilding a healthier, more stable relationship with food and her body.
