Listen "Coping with Cravings... with Mary Ann Shearer"
Episode Synopsis
Tribe Sober - Your guide to alcohol-free living!
This week I'm chatting to an inspirational woman Mary Ann Shearer who is a best selling author and a motivational speaker.
In this Episode
Mary Ann is a woman before her time and was advocating veganism thirty years ago!
Her first book "The Natural Way" was written more than 20 years ago
She explained that if you give your children lots of sweet things it sets them up for alcohol dependency later in life
Mary Ann had alcoholic parents and as a result she craves order and control and has never drunk alcohol
We agreed that children of alcoholic parents tend to be like her - or they tend to follow the pattern of their parents
She advised people who have stopped drinking to satisfy their cravings by eating fresh fruit not chocolates or sweets
Our bodies need glucose and eating fresh fruit satisfies the craving for alcohol
Mary Ann feels that alcoholics are clever people who need a creative outlet - sobriety will give them the time and space to find one
She explained the damage that alcohol does to our endocrine system - and how it makes menopause much worse
To find out more about Mary Ann go to her website - https://maryannshearer.com/ - her book is called "Perfect Health - The Natural Way" available on Amazon
