Episode 3: Sugar & Sweeteners Explained

Sugar is one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition. You've heard that it's toxic, addictive, and the root of metabolic disease. You've also heard that natural options like agave or honey are better choices. But most of these claims are based on incomplete science and oversimplified thinking.

In this episode, we break down what actually happens in your body when you consume sugar. We walk through how glucose and fructose are processed, why the liver is involved, and what role dose, context, and total intake play in determining whether sugar becomes a problem. You'll also learn why focusing only on blood sugar misses a large part of the metabolic picture, and how to evaluate sweeteners using a more complete framework.

Episode 573: How Women Should Really Use Keto with Thomas Hemingway, M.D.

I was recently interviewed by Dr. Thomas Hemingway on the Unshakeable Health podcast and the conversation was too good not to share with you. We talk about keto for women, metabolic flexibility, fasting, hormones, and how to actually use nutrition in a way that works with your body. I also share my story of losing my cycle for eight years, how keto helped restore my hormones, and why I no longer believe strict keto is the long term answer for everyone. We discuss carb cycling, fasting around your cycle, metabolic flexibility, and why the diet that works for you today may not be the diet you need forever.
