In today's podcast we're joined by Amie Skilton who takes us through how, at a cellular level, sugar is compromising our immune resilience. Amie discusses what an acceptable level of sugar and carbohydrate is for daily consumption and how quickly simple, standard dietary habits add up to three, or four times our daily limit. Amie shares some of her own clinical strategies to coach clients out of their sugary habits and why it's not always just about what they're putting in their mouth.
