To be fair, humans aren't actually supposed to be able to digest lactose past a certain stage of development.

Off topic (sort of), but have you ever discussed Intuitive Eating for athletes/very active individuals?

Hi Abbey! Is there any risks of having too much added sugar in someone's diet if it doesn't crowd out other important nutrients? I have a big sweettooth and have a lot of candy, is this intuitive? I watched your video about raising intuitive eaters and you said to limit the "fun foods", but doesn't that go against intuitive eating? Ig my question is how can I apply gentle nutrition to my diet regarding added sugar and "fun foods" like candy. Is there a certain amount "too much"?

[@aminaalimetova2244]

Thanks for the video, really educative. What I'd like to add though is that sometimes "mild" might be exactly what you need, since we know what they say little strokes fall great oaks. So if we make mild changes (like drinking fennel tea, for instance) to our diets and ways of life on a regular basis, it may lead to major changes eventually. But of course listening to our bodies and trying to meet is needs and not following another popular trend)))
