"Sugar cravings are linked to dehydration": John
September 27, 2026
In this episode, I’m talking with John about sugar cravings, hydration, and what he calls “intracellular hydration.”
John shares his story of growing up in Columbus, Ohio, becoming a sugar addict, and eventually developing a very different perspective on health and the role of sugar and especially hydration in the body.
John surprises me with his fascinating “marbles and sponges” analogy to explain intracellular hydration.
He also explains why he believes sugar cravings are connected to dehydration.
And we talk about something I'm sure you can relate to: when it comes to sugar, moderation simply doesn’t work for everyone. John shares his own experience with sugar cravings and what changed for him when he stopped craving sugar.
