Your Sugar Cravings Could Be a Sign of Weak Bones w/ Gina Worful + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia

Are your sugar cravings actually a sign your body needs something deeper? Why do so many women feel stuck in cycles of self-sabotage around food and health? And could stress, low serotonin, or nutrient deficiencies be driving your cravings? In this episode of the Bone Coach™ Podcast, Kevin Ellis sits down with registered dietitian and mindfulness expert Gina Worful to unpack the real science behind cravings, willpower, stress, serotonin, and nervous system regulation. You’ll learn why cravings are often biological signals instead of personal failures, how stress impacts appetite, and why nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D support both mood and bone health. Gina also breaks down the 4 different types of cravings and practical ways to stop feeling powerless around food.
