Episode 156: This week’s episode of Real Health Radio is all about carbohydrates.
I actually re-recorded an episode I did several years ago on the topic, giving it a bit of an overhaul. Carbohydrates continue to be demonised in the media and wellness industry, so I thought I’d dive back into the subject to clear up some of the confusion. As part of the show, I talk about what carbohydrates are used for in the body, the different dietary sources, which types seem to work for most people, and how my opinion on them has changed over the years.
