Ready to become a carbivore? In Part 2 of our convo, Phoebe Lapine breaks down how embracing carbs (the right way) can help with hormone health, blood sugar balance, and even perimenopause. Forget the stress of elimination diets—instead, Phoebe shares how experimenting with slow carbs and adding “carb companions” like fiber, fat, and protein can transform your health without sacrificing the foods you love.

We also get into the nitty-gritty of why Italian pasta feels different on your stomach, what makes sourdough bread easier to digest, and how to navigate those confusing “health” food aisles without falling for sneaky marketing. It’s all about finding what works best for YOU and making peace with your plate—no guilt, no fear, just balance.

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

Slow carbs are your best friend. Carbs like quinoa, lentils, and starchy vegetables digest slowly, keeping blood sugar stable and energy levels steady.
Pair your carbs for better balance. Adding fiber, fat, or protein to carbs helps slow down glucose absorption, reducing blood sugar spikes and crashes.
Pasta in Italy feels different for a reason. European wheat varieties and traditional processing methods result in pasta that’s easier to digest compared to many U.S. brands.
Sourdough is easier on the gut. The fermentation process in sourdough bread breaks down gluten and makes it more digestible, especially for those with mild sensitivities.
