Is Sugar Actually Good For You? | The Nutrition Coach Emma Sgourakis | Ep. 69

This week I sat down with Emma Sgourakis — known as The Nutrition Coach — right here on Kauai, and we got into something I don't think gets talked about enough: how fear, not food, might be the real thing making us sick.

About Emma: Emma is a certified clinical nutritionist based in Sydney with over 20 years in practice, working with everyone from busy moms to professional athletes. She's the only Australian nutritionist officially affiliated with the Peat Nutrition Consultants network, building on the research of the late Dr. Ray Peat, PhD. Her writing has been featured in Australian Elle, Vogue, and Marie Claire, among others.

In this conversation, Emma shares her own journey through nearly every diet trend imaginable before landing on something simpler — trusting the body instead of fighting it. We talk about why chronic under-eating quietly wrecks your metabolism, why fruit was never the enemy, why "sugar" isn't one thing (cane sugar, fruit sugar, and fake sweeteners like stevia all send your body very different messages), and why slowing down and actually enjoying your food matters more than we think.
