About this listen

Have you heard the claim that oatmeal is the same as candy? Or that eating bread is like spoon-feeding your body sugar?

These bold (and frankly, misleading) statements inspired this week’s episode of the Fit in Real Life Podcast.

We’re diving into the nitty-gritty details of carbohydrates, sugar, and how they’re metabolized in the body—cutting through the confusion and busting some major myths along the way.

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:

  • The science of what carbohydrates are and how they’re digested.
  • Why glucose is essential—and why not all sugars are created equal.
  • The differences between refined carbs and whole, nutrient-dense options.
  • Whether eating carbs really "causes inflammation."
  • Practical advice for including carbs in a healthy, balanced diet.

Join me for a no-BS breakdown of the facts, so you can make informed choices without fear or confusion.

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

Thanks for listening!
