The Real Reason Sugar Cravings Won't Go Away

Sugar cravings tend to hit in the quietest moments, after a hard day, alone in the kitchen, reaching for something sweet without even being hungry. That pull is not weakness. It is the brain searching for comfort it never learned to find anywhere else. Christine Trimpe, author of SugarFreed and a certified Christian health and wellness coach, spent thirty years fighting that craving before discovering what was actually underneath it. After this conversation, a craving stops feeling like failure and starts feeling like information. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE TRIMPE 🌐 Website: https://christinetrimpe.com/ [https://christinetrimpe.com/] 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachchristinetrimpe/ [https://www.instagram.com/coachchristinetrimpe/] 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-trimpe-07123299/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-trimpe-07123299/] ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/christinetrimpe [https://youtube.com/christinetrimpe] 🐦 X / Twitter: https://x.com/TrimpeChristine [https://x.com/TrimpeChristine] 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChristineTrimpeLLC [https://www.facebook.com/ChristineTrimpeLLC] 📚 Book/Resource: SugarFreed — https://christinetrimpe.com/sugarfreed/ [https://christinetrimpe.com/sugarfreed/] ────────────────────────────────────────── 📅 UPCOMING EVENT The Root of Your Hunger | A SugarFreed®️ Workshop Hosted by Christine Trimpe Saturday, July 11, 2026 | 10am–12pm ET | Live on Zoom 🎟️ Tickets: https://pages.christinetrimpe.net/sugarfreed-workshop-root [https://pages.christinetrimpe.net/sugarfreed-workshop-root] Learn more about your ad choices.

Faith Fatigue: Why You Feel Far From God

Faith fatigue doesn't announce itself. It shows up quietly — when you're still doing everything right but nothing feels real anymore. That spiritual hollowness isn't a character flaw; it's what happens when faith becomes something you know instead of someone you experience. Dr. Carter Check, U.S. Army veteran, board-certified chaplain, and bestselling author of Plagiarizing the Gospel, reveals why spiritual drift happens without a single conscious decision — and what the first step back actually feels like. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH DR.
