Why whole grains are the LEAST healthy foods (especially in mid life)

from Joyful Eating · host Jules Clancy

We’ve all been told that whole grains are the gold standard of healthy eating, right? Well, today I want to challenge that conventional wisdom, especially if you’re navigating midlife like me. Before you close this tab thinking I’ve lost the plot, hear me out. The more I’ve been diving into gut health research, the more I’m questioning whether those “healthy whole grains” are actually doing us any favors – particularly when we hit our forties, fifties, and beyond. Want to eat better so you feel better in your body, brain and gut? I’d love you to join us in Joyful Cooking for Natural Vitality. It’s my six-month coaching program that walks you through my easy, proven process. You’ll learn to cook without recipes while building good food habits and reprogramming bad habits —supporting you to be the healthiest you can be in your body, brain, and gut. Through gentle repetition over six spacious months, these habits become second nature as you naturally look and feel great for your age Learn more here.
