Understanding Your Cravings: It's Biology, Not Just Willpower, Says Doctor

Madrid, Spain – Dr. Alexandre Olmos, a health professional, has shed light on the pervasive issue of intense food cravings, particularly those experienced in the late afternoon. In a recent online discussion, Dr. Olmos explained that these urges for sugary or carbohydrate-rich foods are often misunderstood as a lack of willpower, when in fact, they are deeply rooted in biological processes. According to Dr. Olmos, cravings can be a signal from the body indicating underlying imbalances. "It's not gluttony; it's your biology collapsing," he stated. Factors such as hormonal dysregulation, insufficient sleep, gut inflammation, and physiological changes like perimenopause or menopause can disrupt the body's energy regulation. These conditions lead the body to seek quick dopamine boosts, which are readily found in sugar. However, Dr. Olmos warned that succumbing to these cravings by consuming sugar only exacerbates the problem, leading to increased cravings, fatigue, and inflammation. He emphasized that resolving these issues requires more than just willpower; it necessitates understanding the internal mechanisms at play. To address this, Dr. Olmos announced a free online class scheduled for July 10th. During this session, he plans to provide clear explanations of what is happening inside the body and offer strategies to regain energy and balance without resorting to restrictive diets or feeling guilty. Interested individuals are encouraged to comment "Antojo" to receive access details for the class.
