Summary
On today’s episode, I’m joined by celebrity trainer and nutrition expert Harley Pasternak to debunk some of the biggest myths around carbs, fat loss, and sustainable health. We talk about why carbs aren’t the enemy, how to actually approach blood sugar, and why cutting out entire food groups isn’t the answer. We also dive into the rise of GLP-1 medications—how they work, who they’re for, and why strength training becomes even more important if you’re using them. If you’ve ever felt confused by diet trends, overwhelmed by conflicting info, or just want to know what actually works for staying lean without losing your mind—you’re going to love this one. Enjoy!

| 0:05.0 | Hi, I'm Sif Heider, the founder of Foray. I'm a wellness entrepreneur and digital creator, |
| 0:10.8 | and this is my show, The Dream Bigger podcast. Listen, I love dreaming big, but you know what I love |
| 0:16.6 | more? Actually having the resources to make those big dreams happen. And hey, dreams can sometimes |
| 0:22.7 | be private jets, but other times, they can look a little something like having the best skin |
| 0:27.8 | of your damn life, or starting a successful business, or delving into spirituality. So on this podcast, |

| 1:29.5 | And what's really crazy is that Harley and I grew up in the same neighborhood. |
