This week we revisit a popular episode from before the name changed from Chats with Coach Debbi to From Willingness to Wellness.
I address a question from our Facebook CHAT GROUP that was asked by Theresa. She wants to know about carbs, the good, the bad and the ugly.
At the top of the CHAT GROUP you'll find a pinned post titles, Whatch Wanna Hear? Community members can ask questions that I may address in future episodes. Feel free to join and ask your question in the comments of that post.
In today's episode I explain what carbs are, how our body uses them and the truth about their benefits (or harm).
Some of what I cover...
- The Good
- Carbs are a class of nutrient
- Our bodies need carbs for energy
- Carbs are made of sugar, starch and fiber
- The Bad
- Carbs get a bad rap
- Carbs are not created equal
- Simple vs Complex carbohydrates
- Consuming carbs in weight loss
- The Ugly
- The ugly truth about carbs, they aren't ugly at all
- Good carbs vs bad carbs
- Consider the source
I also share about studies that prove that when it comes to blood sugar and insulin spikes, it's not just carbohydrates that need to be considered. Animal proteins and fats have shown to cause insulin spikes.
For more information to assist in your own research, I recommend Dr Michael Greger's website, nutritionfacts.org and his book, How Not to Die.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
