What happens on a physical and emotional level in our body to cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to occur? Simply put, it's a lack of glucose in the brain that occurs when a person experiences trauma. When there is not enough glucose stored in brain tissue to fuel the central nervous system, emotional disturbance can have lasting consequences. Contrary to popular scientific belief, although electrolytes play a critical role in brain health, PTSD does not occur due to electrolyte loss. Lack of glucose is the real cause.

When someone is addicted to refined sugar, it is a sign of glucose deficiency, which is sometimes due to early childhood insulin resistance. This feeling of desperation for refined sugar comes from the search for the fastest way to deliver glucose to the brain. It's not so much an addiction to the sweet taste, it's that the brain is looking for the most direct route to supply itself with sugar to correct the deficiency.
