And so Claire would tell me if certain things happened in her life, if she didn't get invited to a party, if she didn't get a good grade, if somebody said something negative to her, she just starts spiraling her default web network. She'd start ruminating over all these negative things. And then when that happens, she has all this negative self-talk.

Much better energy during the day. And more importantly, she now had energy at the end of the day to do things she really enjoyed, which in and of itself started to bring her satisfaction, joy, and contentment. Sugar cravings gone.
