You're In The Right Place
II'm Dr. Andrea Grayson (EdD), a health communications researcher and faculty member in the University of Vermont's Master of Public Health program. I wrote The Sweet Tooth Dilemma and developed the 7 Factors of Sugar Dependency and The 8 Roles of Alcohol frameworks. My own path out of sugar and alcohol habits is why I work on both. I help women in midlife understand what is driving a pattern, then change it with structure rather than willpower.

She gives really good tips and solutions to get off the sugar rollercoaster and experience real freedom in a way that is personalized and sustainable for you.

“This was a real wake-up call to the amount of sugar in our food. I did not think of myself as a sugar addict but I was surprised by how much sugar is in the foods I eat that I consider healthy (Go Lean cereal, Chobani fruit yogurt, fruit and nut granola bars). This one month challenge was a great way to make changes I plan on keeping.”
— Ellen L., Program Participant

This book offers a solid, easy to follow, step by step, actionable tools of how to get sugar out of our system and beyond. It has the power to change your relationship with sugar and this will give you the power to change your relationship with your entire life.”
