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.   Resources Mentioned: Save your seat for the 1K Blueprint Workshop: https://ambershaw.samcart.com/products/1k-blueprint-workshop Cured Nutrition use code AMBER for 15% off: https://www.curednutrition.com/ Carbivore Cookbook by Phoebe Lapine: https://www.carbivorecookbook.com/ The Wellness Project: https://www.thewellnessproject.com/ Phoebe's recipes and resources: https://feedmephoebe.com/   What We Discuss: The truth about Italian pasta and why it's different from American versions Understanding slow carbs versus low carbs Why fiber is your friend and how it affects blood sugar The relationship between stress, hormones, and carbohydrates The problem with intermittent fasting for women How to reintroduce carbs when dealing with digestive issues   Key Takeaways: "It's more important how you eat certain things than what you eat."
