Carbs get a bad rap, but today, Coach Julia is setting the record straight. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or deep into strength training and fat loss, understanding the role of carbohydrates is a game-changer.
Julia breaks down 5 essential, research-backed reasons why carbs are not only OK to eat, they’re critical for performance, recovery, mental clarity, and muscle retention. No fear-mongering, no extremes, just real talk, real science, and strategies you can apply today.
Because fueling your body doesn’t mean cutting everything you love. It means eating smart and training with purpose.
What You’ll Learn:
Why carbs are your body’s primary energy source (especially during training)
How carbs support muscle recovery post-workout
Why your brain needs glucose for focus and mental sharpness
The role of fiber-rich carbs in gut health and digestion
How carbs help prevent muscle breakdown during calorie deficits
Plus, Julia explains why low-carb diets often fail long term, and how to build a balanced nutrition strategy that includes the foods you love, without sabotaging your goals.
