After working with THOUSANDS of patients as a licensed naturopathic doctor, I kept seeing the same problem.
People would come to me feeling:
Drained by 10 a.m., even after a full night’s sleep
Bloated and uncomfortable almost every day
Struggling with cravings, especially in the afternoon or late at night
Stressed out easily, with moods all over the place
Eating to cope, then feeling worse afterwards
Frustrated by weight that won’t budge, no matter how “healthy” they try to eat
What I found over and over again is that the root cause isn’t just sugar in the obvious forms—like candy or soda.
(You’ve probably already tried cutting those out.)
Sugar is also hidden in everyday foods we rely on:
Bread, pasta, cereal, or crackers
Potatoes, salad dressings, or bagels
Smoothies, fruit juice, flavored yogurt, or coffee creamers
So-called "healthy" snacks like rice cakes, protein bars or granola bars
Bread, pasta, cereal, or crackers

Here’s how it works:
When you eat a lot of sugar (even the hidden kind), your blood sugar goes up fast.
Your body wants to fix that, so it sends out a signal to bring blood sugar back down.
But when blood sugar keeps rising and falling frequently, that’s when the problem begins.
So your brain tells your body to release “cortisol”, which is the hormone that handles stress.
That spike in cortisol makes you feel more on edge, anxious, or tense.
It also messes with your sleep, which leaves you tired the next day.
Over time, this constant up-and-down can lead to hormone imbalances and a sluggish, confused metabolism.
And when you're tired and stressed?
Your body wants quick energy, so you reach for more sugar…
Then the whole cycle starts again.
More sugar → more stress → worse sleep → more cravings → even more sugar.
This is a LIVE 5-day challenge, where you get to meet me, Dr. Donahue, every day—live!

Hi, I’m Dr. Holly Donahue—a Licensed, Board-Certified Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Simple Health. I’ve spent the last 18 years helping thousands of patients take control of their health and feel like themselves again.
Before becoming a doctor, I struggled with chronic health issues too (more than 35 years ago). It wasn’t until I worked with naturopathic doctors that I finally found lasting solutions. That experience changed my life—and now, it’s my mission to help you change yours.
This free 5-day Sugar Detox Challenge is for you if any of these sound like you:
Long workdays leave you drained, and caffeine just isn’t cutting it anymore.
You’re constantly making decisions and carrying pressure—and it’s wearing on your health.
You try to eat well, but sugar cravings sneak in and feel impossible to shake.
You wake up tired no matter how early you go to bed.
Hot flashes, mood swings, or feeling “off” all the time—your hormones are trying to tell you something.
The 5-Day Sugar Challenge week of classes you gave was SO inspiring!
I am doing GREAT! I am down 12 pounds, exercising and meditating daily! So, the inches are coming off too and my body feels SO much better!
I know my diet could be better so that is a goal for sure! Sticking with it and learning some more healthy tips from you is so exciting for me! I SO looking forward to working with you and getting started on a very healthy 2025!

Thank you SO MUCH for the 5 Day Sugar Detox Workshops.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of the learning that went on. I was especially surprised to see the link between sugar and Alzheimers. I watched each of the replays. In fact, I listened to them as I was getting my steps in. There was so much great info as always.
I look forward to signing up for your online workshops as they are a great reminder of how I can stay on track.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us Dr. D.
I can tell you truly like what you do and we all benefit from your knowledge and expertise.
