Are carbs bad for you? Not so fast! In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, Dr. Vickie clears up the carb confusion once and for all. You’ll find out why carbohydrates aren’t the villains they’ve been made out to be — and how to choose the ones that actually love your body back.

From the history of the U.S. dietary guidelines to the real difference between simple and complex carbs, Dr. Vickie breaks it all down with her signature blend of humor and evidence-based wisdom. You’ll learn what “balanced” really means, why fiber is your best friend, and how to avoid the sugar traps hiding in your favorite foods.

No calculators, no food scales, just practical, real-world advice to help you enjoy your meals — carbs included.

Tune in and discover why the key to health isn’t cutting carbs, but choosing them wisely. Because when you love your body (and your carbs), healthy looks great on you.
