The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw
356. The Truth About Carbs, Blood Sugar, and Your Health with Phoebe Lapine
Are you ready to rebuild your relationship with food post-divorce?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with Phoebe Lapine, author of “Carbivore,” to talk about something many of us struggle with after divorce: making peace with food and our bodies during major life transitions.
As the queen of “healthy hedonism,” Phoebe explains why traditional diet rules (like avoiding all carbs) might be doing more harm than good, especially during high-stress periods like divorce. She shares practical strategies for rebuilding a healthy relationship with food, from understanding blood sugar and stress hormones to simple food pairings that can help you feel more energized and balanced. Plus, she offers specific advice for women in midlife dealing with hormonal changes and digestive issues that often surface during major life transitions.
