The Good, the Bad & the Ugly of Valentine’s Day: Chocolate, Wine & Blood SugarOn this episode of the Harmony with Food Show, we break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of Valentine’s Day indulgences — chocolate, wine, sugar, and emotional eating.You may be surprised to learn that alcohol actually lowers blood sugar, triggers insulin spikes, and can set off the cravings you feel the next day. We also talk about whether alcohol truly causes weight gain, why food addiction is real (and rising), and how highly processed foods are engineered for craveability. This episode also dives into:• The connection between sugar and skin issues• Why diet-related diseases remain the leading cause of death in the U.S.• The truth about emotional eating• Why you must become your own healthcare advocateThis isn’t about perfection.It’s about awareness.It’s about understanding your biology instead of blaming your willpower.

Guessing is.About Your HostMeg is the host of The Harmony With Food Radio Show and a functional nutrition practitioner who helps people understand why they don’t feel well—even when their labs say they’re “normal.” Her work sits at the intersection of food, immune function, digestion, and real life.
