Getting Relief from Sugar, Carb and Other Food Cravings

Over the past ten years many patients have come to the clinic with sugar and carbohydrate cravings. These cravings are common symptoms that present themselves. I have been helping these patients decrease their cravings to the point where the majority of them are able to forget about the cravings all together. This happens when the metabolic reason for the cravings has been resolved.

Since July of 2016, a number of patients have come to me complaining of an increase in cravings or an increase in appetite.  Some patients were also experiencing insomnia and blood sugar issues.  These issues are caused by imbalances. For example, one patient who had sleep disturbances and the beginnings of blood sugar problems was able to resolve both issues after we balanced her system with the right supplements.

Another patient, a woman in her late 60’s came in because her appetite had suddenly and significantly increased and she felt hungry all the time.  We identified the metabolic issues and enacted a series of treatments. After the treatments her appetite went back to normal again.

Where do cravings come from?

Cravings can stem from a variety of causes.  Food sensitivities are a major cause of cravings.  Alternative medical doctors as far back as the 1960’s began to observe the correlation between food sensitivities and food addiction.  As counterintuitive as it seems, it is actually common for a food sensitivity to cause cravings for that food.
