Good morning! Today, we’re sharing findings from the Sweet Tooth Trial (and yes, that is the actual name of it). I’ve always had an inclination for sweet foods—but it continues to wane as I get older.

Which way do your taste buds lean: sweet or savory? And were you surprised by these study’s findings? I was. Let me know by replying to this email!

–Molly Knudsen, M.S., RDN, editor

Can you reset your sweet tooth?

Have you ever been told to just “eat less sugar?” And that doing so would make you want fewer sweets? I know that I’ve given this advice as a dietitian. Well, new research has challenged that concept.

In a 6-month randomized controlled trial, 180 adults followed low-, regular-, or high-sweet exposure diets.¹

  • Sweet preferences didn’t change, even among those who significantly reduced sweet foods.
  • Food choices didn't shift. People in the low-exposure group didn't naturally start gravitating toward less sweet options.
  • There were no meaningful differences between groups for energy intake, body weight, and cardiometabolic markers.

Even after months of controlled exposure, participants naturally returned to their usual sweet intake once the study ended.

What this means for your sweet tooth: This doesn't mean that attempts to eat less sugar aren't meaningful.

  • Limiting exposure to added sugars (especially through processed foods) is a key step to improving overall health.

+Sweet swaps

  • 10 foods to crush sugar cravings, from a PhD
  • Should you quit sugar cold turkey? What this expert recommends
  • Try one of these sweet (but high-protein) breakfast recipes
  • Food habits people swear by for improving their health

Brain fog? Lifted.

You don't have to accept brain fog.

The afternoon mental haze. Reading the same sentence three times. Losing your train of thought mid-meeting. That's not just stress, that's your brain running low on energy.

creatine brain+ gives your brain cells the fuel they need to stay sharp.* 5 grams of clinically studied creatine monohydrate + 500 milligrams of Cognizin®: a patented form of citicoline clinically studied to support focus, memory, and processing speed.*

Your brain deserves the same care you give everything else.

MIND your diet

Image by Blue Collectors / Stocksy

Have you heard of the MIND diet? Short for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, it blends the best parts of these two diets with a specific focus on brain health. The diet emphasizes leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, beans, fish, and olive oil, while limiting saturated fats, processed foods, and sweets. Research consistently links this approach to slower cognitive decline, better memory with age, and a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, even when followed moderately.²

+Feed your brain right

  • The 3 pillars of nutritional psychiatry, according to an M.D.
  • A high-protein blueberry smoothie recipe to make on repeat
  • This kale & broccoli salad that’s Ina Garten-approved
  • A simple but stunning honey mustard salmon dinner

The truth about cognitive decline

There’s no doubt that the gut has a direct link to inflammation. A balanced, diverse microbiome can help calm inflammation in the body, whereas a gut in dysbiosis can fuel it. In the latest mindbodygreen podcast, Cynthia Thurlow, N.P., dives into this connection, inflammaging, and the impact of menopause on the gut lining.

+Find balance

  • How to fix age-driven inflammation
  • Tips for balancing your gut in menopause
  • These 5 gut conditions are linked to Alzheimer’s disease
  • This fiber helps increase good bacteria

Staying consistent = real results

Week 1+: Improves processing speed & working memory*†
Week 4+: Enhances attention, mental clarity, & exercise recovery*†
