If that’s not enough, one of the main complaints I hear is about “being tired.” “I’m just so tired all the time.”  “I wake up tired, I go through my day tired, and I go to bed tired.”  This is not normal.  This is stemming from too much processed sugar and carbs that have left your cells with an inability to receive the glucose you are consuming. This is most likely due to insulin resistance, a very dangerous road that eventually leads to a whole host of diseases.  If this describes you, consider visiting my “shop” page and downloading my “3 Day Sugar Detox“, to help you get off of sugar for good.

Your health, life, and life’s purpose are worth it.  If you want to feel 100% so you can live 100%, don’t let sugar hold you back.
