Ep. 14: Supplements Are Pills, Too! Supplements are popular and there’s one for nearly everything. But are they good for you? Are they safe?

Ep. 8: Good Carbs? Bad Carbs? 02/27/2020

Ep. 8: Good Carbs? Bad Carbs? Carbs improve the serotonin in our brain, they make us happy, and they also make us want to eat more carbs. They are important for energy but can also lead to weight gain. Good carbs enter the body slowly. It isn’t the carb that is bad, but when they are separated out from the plant, they enter the body so quickly. Good carbs are are still within the plant. We need those carbs. Whole plants have good carbs. Find the shopping list mentioned in today’s show and other bonuses at EatPlantsFeelWhole.com. /episode/index/show/eatplantsfeelwhole/id/13325597
