Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis week we’re tackling a food we all know and love: flour. But is it really as harmless as it seems? Join me as I break down the surprising science of refined flour, cravings, and hormones—plus how a few small shifts can help you take back control of your weight loss journey.We’ll talk about why flour is classified as an ultra-processed food, how it hijacks hunger signals, and why it can make weight loss feel harder than it should. Don’t worry, I’ll make it simple, light, and easy to understand—because this is about living your best life, not stressing over bread.Quote of the Week:“Your body is your home—feed it with care.” – Unknown Citations:Monteiro et al., 2019 – Ultra-processed foods: What they are and how to identify them.
