In this episode, Abby & Jillian do a deep dive into carbohydrates - the most polarizing and misunderstood macronutrient. They discuss why carbohydrate quality and carb pairing is so important, along with how much you actually need to support balanced hormones and a healthy gut.
They clear up confusion around the differences between simple versus complex and whole food versus ultra processed carbohydrates. They cover the controversial topic of low carb diets including who could benefit from a lower carb approach, and who low carb diets might actually be harmful for.
Jillian and Abby share client examples, practical tips, and real life strategies for utilizing carbohydrates strategically to support optimal gut and hormone health. They teach you how to build nutrient dense, fiber rich carbohydrates into your day in ways that are both satisfying and simple. Enjoy this episode that will leave you with a new perspective on carbohydrates, and tangible action steps to get started with today.
