Breaking the Sweet Spell - Workshop

Breaking the Sweet Spell is a concise, evidence-based guide that helps families loosen sugar’s grip without turning desserts into forbidden fruit.

We begin by unpacking the science behind sweetness—Is it truly addictive, or simply a powerful, evolution-driven reward cue? From there, we examine cutting-edge research on rigid “no-sugar” rules and why such approaches often backfire, intensifying cravings instead of curbing them.

Rather than banishing treats, we outline practical, holistic-approved strategies that nurture a balanced relationship with food: pairing sweets with nutrient-dense foods, offering predictable opportunities for dessert, and modeling mindful enjoyment. Because big shifts succeed only with clear dialogue, we add age-appropriate communication scripts that invite children into the process and reduce mealtime friction.
