The Low-Carb Metabolic Transition Nobody Talks About
from Eat Heal Farm · host Heathar Shepard
What if the body doesn't heal in a straight line?After years of believing that leaner was better, that low-carb = optimal metabolic health, I confronted a new reality: better sleep, warmer temperatures, better digestion, and I realized that carb readaptation had a middle phase — softer thighs. In this episode, Heathar explores the low-carb lean body realities, how they are fueled by dehydration and cortisol dominance, and how the transition from fat-burning to glucose-burning can produce what we'd consider "weight gain" (read: anabolic refueling), and why trusting the body's wisdom can be harder than following any diet.
