ALSO… I spoke about the health risks of Sugar, the Sugar-Depression and Sugar-Anxiety link, as well as why you want to eat more sugar once you start (Sugar is addictive and has actually been found to be more addictive than cocaine!).  I also spoke about how to break the sugar addiction and get back on track!  

 

After the show, producer of this show, Art Mendoza of Accomplice Entertainment, sat in and played a few songs with one of my favorite dance bands, Area Code, from NYC, right here at the Isla Grand Hotel (in the Quaterdeck).
