But some time over the last ten years, our wellness needs have pivoted while conventional medicine maintains a steady course.
 In the midst of the holiday season, diet habits built throughout the year often seem to fly out the window. The treats at gatherings look extra sweet and the month-long festivities allow bad choices to add up quick. So many of us allow our eating choices in December to spiral out of control with the thought that January will bring the opportunity to start fresh.
 Sugar is one of our favorite topics because it is arguably one of the most negatively impactful components of the modern-day diet. In fact, the World Health Organization released a study showing that Americans consume over 126 grams of sugar a day (Crawford, 2019) and it is ever increasing.
 Many of us thrive off of our own unique daily routines; what time we wake up, what time we go to work or school, socialize, exercise, sleep and you guessed it, eat.
Each of us also has our own circadian rhythms, also known as the the "sleep-wake cycle," which play a major role in the repairing of cells.

This is where implementing an intermittent fasting schedule could be a game-changer for many. |
