  • Start Here: Welcome, I'm Dr Janny1:14
  • What is Glucose?3:16

    Learn how sugar and stress affect your body and emotions. Find out your personal sugar style and start your own sugar story.

  • Why Your Sugar Story is Personal2:41

    Food choices are shaped by far more than knowledge or willpower. This video explores how your history, emotions, habits, stress, and biology all come together to create your own unique Sugar Story.

  • Real, Processed and Ultra-processed Foods2:46

    Not all food affects the body in the same way, even if the calories look similar. In this video, we break down the difference between real, processed, and ultra processed foods, and why processing changes how your body and brain respond to food.

  • Let's Play: “Is it real?”3:01

    This is a short, playful exercise to help you look at food differently. You will learn a simple way to pause and ask whether a food is closer to real food or heavily engineered, without guilt or judgement.

  • Are you an Abstainer or a Moderator?3:11

    People differ in how they handle tempting foods, and this is not a character flaw. This video helps you recognise whether clear boundaries or flexibility works better for you, so you can work with your biology instead of against it.

  • Support Guide: Where’s my Online Workbook (Assignment)?1:09

Description

Many people know what they “should” eat, yet still feel stuck with sugar, cravings, overeating, or guilt around food.

Your Sugar Story is not a diet plan or list of rules. It is a guided exploration of your personal relationship with sugar and food, and the patterns that quietly drive your choices.  This is what you need to know about yourself before attempting an eating plan or using weight loss medication.

In this course, we go beyond nutrition facts and calories. We look at psychology, habits, emotions, stress, biology, and the stories you tell yourself about food. You will learn to recognize why cravings happen, what they are really asking for, and whether change is needed right now or later.

By becoming aware of Your Own Sugar Story, it becomes easier to make healthier habits stick.

Rather than forcing willpower, this course helps you understand yourself better, so that any changes you make are realistic, kind, and sustainable.

This course is not a meal plan, weight loss program, or strict diet. It is a starting point, a place to slow down, reflect, and build awareness before making changes that actually last.  It's also not just about sugar, it's about your story when it comes to food and drinks.  Do you actually decide what you put into your body?  Or are you on autopilot or ruled by cravings?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get curious about your own story with sugar, and then decide what comes next.
