Letting go of sugar is challenging! Trust me! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Hi, I'm Angela Singh, Keto Baker’sFounder and Baker. 👋🏼 

As a Clinical pharmacist 👩🏽‍⚕️ with a Doctorate in Pharmacy from Purdue University, I have seen what Sugar can do to a person! Being a committed and determined pharmacist in Indiana, I enjoy utilizing my knowledge and previous managerial experience in achieving a dynamic and positive patient health outcome. Yes, I love seeing my patients succeed in their health and medication compliance. My desire and motivation in providing disease state interventions promoted me to find other means of patient health improvements while being able to enjoy what they love most, SWEETS!  

Being able to indulge in the finest sweets gives everyone the ability to connect with a part of our life's memorable milestone through celebration with our friends, family and loved ones. However, these baked treats should not be only reserved for special occasions.  It should be available throughout our ordinary day without feeling guilty or having any health fears.  Enjoying the aroma of freshly baked cookies, to a healthy, fresh, out-of-the oven bread should be a privilege every person should have. 

As we age we will always experience some health conditions but FOOD is a way to connect to every part of our organs.

If we can eat our sweets and still maintain a healthy lifestyle then why not? I am so glad that there are amazing ingredients that give us the opportunity to make it happen. After encountering these alternative products, I was thrilled to start my journey in research and development of Healthy Sweets!

“A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”~~Lao Tzu

My all time favorite quote that I live by since High School.  Each day is a day of learning and a day of new beginnings. During this research phase, I realized that not only could I use my educational background to help others but I could also use my love for baking to make a difference in the society.  Baking is science, chemistry and art in one. My cup of tea! Every ingredient has a purpose and when you put it together you get a functional masterpiece that satisfies your palate. Every time I mix two ingredients together, it reminds me of compounding medication that is SPECIALLY made to help my patients.  And voilà, I can do the same through baking! Now don't get me wrong! I am a sucker for sugar. I LOVE M&Ms and sweets 🍫! It WAS my go-to-stress reliever especially at work! 🤦🏼‍♀️But when I came to find out I was prediabetic and needed to watch my cholesterol also due to genetics, WHOA I needed to make a change!🤔

Switching from Sugar to Sugar Substitute will be tough I thought!

But if you have an exact 1:1 sugar substitute then why not! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Stress results in us to eat sweets like there is no tomorrow. 🌚 But if you really knew what it was doing inside to your microbiome, you would realize that you need to make a lifestyle modification fast! 🏥 Diabetes, cholesterol, lack of energy, epilepsy, cancer... the list goes on and on! Sugar hurts your body so use it wisely! 

Now you maybe thinking ok fine she is in the medical profession so of course she will try the healthy route, but that is not the only reason for pushing me towards HEALTHY SWEETS!

I am also a mother 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧to a special needs, epileptic, TBCK child 🧒 Yes, my life is not the best!  TBCK Syndrome is an extremely rare neurogenetic disorder that causes intellectual disabilities and developmental delays along with seizures.  It was discovered in 2016 by Dr. Xilma Ortiz-Gonzalez and Dr. Elizabeth Bhoj from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, CHOP. It took us 2 years to actually get a diagnosis for our daughter. Many tests, check-ups, blood samples were done for our little warrior. Days of mental fatigue, lack of energy, emotional trauma, and depression really took a toll on me and my career as well. So I had to decrease the number of hours I worked, which was tough emotionally, and I came to the realization that as a medical professional I had a bigger need for care at home, my daughter. She needed me! It was time to be strong mentally and physically for her and my family. It took guts but I finally joined the TBCK Facebook Parent Group. It was one of the best things I had ever done for my own strength. So much information and so many strong and determined parents with adorable children. These kids are truly fighters. They can't communicate what they are feeling but they definitely know how to express their emotions. 

The more I researched about the condition, the more my interest grew towards a healthier lifestyle.  TBCK children LOVE food, especially sweets.  You can feed them all day and they would never know to stop, which is another known symptom of the syndrome. Studying that sweets and high carbs were causing an increase in seizure episodes in my TBCK Warrior, really made me research more about the effects of sugar on seizures.  Based on the Epilepsy Foundation and CURE Epilepsy, the ketogenic diet has been shown in clinical studies to improve patients with epilepsy, which kills the neurons in the brain and can cause regression or brain damage depending on the severity. Several studies have shown that the ketogenic diet can reduce or prevent seizures in many children whose seizures are uncontrolled by medications. The Mayo Clinic has also been involved in the connection between epilepsy and the diet. But the diet is not for everyone.

The ketogenic diet should not be started without consulting with a doctor!

Sweets and carbohydrates are the biggest culprit in many health conditions.  As Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it, "sugar is not so sweet to the palate as sound to the healthy ear." So my love for health care and my desire for a better life for my Warrior emerged a new beginning.
