Summary

In this episode you’ll learn what makes whole carbohydrates and refined carbohydrates fundamentally different than each other, and why this simple distinction can improve your overall health dramatically.

No joke.

In today’s world, if carbohydrates were on trial, they’d be given a life sentence for harming millions of people around the world.

But is that really true? What does science actually say about the role of carbohydrates when living with diabetes (and why should you care)?

It’s simple. Whole carbohydrate-rich foods are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and minimizing or avoiding them can seriously impact your long-term health.

But eating them while controlling your blood glucose like a champ will actually improve your overall health. It's true.

So sit back, grab a mango (or 5), and enjoy!
