If you’ve ever cut carbs in an effort to beat the bloat, lose weight, or get your energy back, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the truth about low-carb and no-carb diets and how they can actually worsen symptoms like bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain, especially for women struggling with digestive issues.

We’ll dive into:

  • The rise of carb fear (thanks, Atkins, keto, and diet culture)
  • How your gut actually relies on carbs to function
  • Why low-carb diets can disrupt digestion, hormones, and metabolism
  • The connection between carbs and your gut microbiome
  • How to eat carbs in a balanced way that supports energy, motility, and hormone detox

Spoiler alert: It’s not the carbs. It’s the context.

If you’re tired of restricting foods and still not seeing results, it might be time to bring the right carbs back in.

🎧 Press play to get the clarity your gut (and brain!) have been craving.
