The Truth About Sugar, Junk Food & Childhood Addiction with Sherry Strong

If you’ve ever tried to get your child or grandchild off sugar or junk food and felt like you were battling something bigger than a simple food habit…

You’re absolutely right.

In this Part Two of Sherry Strong‘s “Nourishing Healthy Kids” web series, she uncovers what the food industry doesn’t want you to know:

👉 Why ultra-processed foods hijack your child’s brain like addictive drugs
👉 How these substances rewire appetite, reward, and emotion — especially in kids
👉 The real reason why willpower alone won’t work — and what will
👉 How to recognize the signs of food addiction in children
👉 Practical strategies to help your kids break free — with love, not punishment

This isn’t just about eating better — It’s about reclaiming your child’s brain, body and emotional freedom from substances that were designed to keep them hooked.
