Part 2 of my conversation with Alan Aragon - diving into some of the common misconceptions floating around in the nutrition space. Topics discussed on this episode:

-Should you be going low carb to lose weight?

-Cause of insulin resistance + improving insulin sensitivity

-Dow we need to be worried about rises in blood sugar after meals?

-Identifying sound nutrition advice/recommendations vs. marketing gimmicks

-Rise in popularity of vilifying seed oils - should they be avoided or included in your diet?

-Scaremongering around individual ingredients in the online nutrition space

+ so much more in-between.

I loved this conversation and I know you will too!

I had a blast during this two-part discussion with the amazing Alan Aragon. In Part 1, we lay the foundation for understanding flexible dieting, its origins, and how you can apply it to your own life. This episode also sets the stage for what we’ll dive into in episode 106.

Listen to this episode and head over to part 2 where we dive into low carb diets, insulin resistance, blood sugar 'spikes', the insulin hypothesis of obesity, seed oils and so much more.
