Workshop Focuses on Kicking Sugar Addiction

Live JACKED Training Studio, a Scottsdale personal training and lifestyle guidance studio for medical professionals, business executives, young professionals, active adults and Valley residents, is teaming up with integrative health coach Crystal Jarvie, owner of HealthStyles 4 You, to host a preventative health workshop, Sugar Blues, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., August 13.

The workshop will cover three main areas: nutrition, exercise and maintaining a healthy mindset. Participants will learn how to make permanent, healthy lifestyle changes; tips for easy meal planning and snack prep; the causes of sugar cravings and practical tools for dealing with them; exercise ideas and strategies to stay on track; healthy mindset training techniques that will energize them; and how to create a support team.

“Sugar is in most processed food, but we don’t always realize it because there are so many names used to describe sugar,” says Jarvie. “Eating a diet high in sugar is what makes us feel lethargic, moody, irritated and exhausted. And most of all, it can lead to disease.”

Cost is $20, or $10 if preregistered by calling 480-815-152 before Aug. 12. Location: 4300 N. Miller Rd., Ste. G 105, Scottsdale.
