Together, Unprocessed

You're not eating sugar. You're eating something else. Here's what it actually does to your body.In this episode, we walk through seven categories of carbs — from white flour and liquid sugars to fruit, starchy vegetables, grains, leafy greens, and animal foods — and what each one actually does to your blood sugar, your insulin, and the visceral fat around your organs.Cindy explains how insulin resistance develops and why what you drink often matters more than what you eat. Ash shares the daily reality of living with diabetes in the family. Kim breaks down how to read a food label that's been deliberately confusing for decades.No fear. No pressure. Just enough awareness to make a different choice next time.📖 Free Companion GuideThe full carb map: https://togetherunprocessed.com/carbs-that-turn-into-sugar/🎵 Music"Marathon Man" by Jason Shaw (Audionautix.com) — CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/DisclaimerEverything we share comes from our own journeys and experiences.

Sugar activates the same reward pathways as cocaine 🧠In this episode, we break down the science of sugar addiction — how it hijacks your dopamine system, the study where rats chose sweetness over cocaine almost every time, and why the food industry engineers products to keep you eating. We also explore the difference between sweet taste and sugar itself, gut-driven cravings, and the relentless addiction loop that keeps people trapped.This is Part 1 of 2. In Part 2, we show you exactly how to break the cycle.📄 Sources & ReferencesLenoir et al. (2007) — Intense sweetness surpasses cocaine reward.

Years carnivore… so why are we still struggling? 🔥We get honest about where each of us really stands on keto and carnivore right now — the slip-ups, the guilt, the mental battles, and what it actually takes to stay the course. We talk about why the struggle is more emotional than physical, whether creative carnivore recipes help or hurt, and why willpower alone isn't enough.This is a raw conversation about self-sabotage, giving yourself permission to quit, and how knowing your why changes everything.

Food is the signal. Supplements are just the support 🌿We tackle one of the most asked-about topics in the keto and carnivore space — supplements. We break down which ones actually matter, which ones you can probably skip, and how to tell the difference based on your own body's signals.We explore salt and electrolytes, magnesium forms, iodine, ox bile, omega-3s, zinc, and vitamin D — sharing personal stories and hard-won lessons from years of experimentation.Before adding anything to your routine, ask: what function am I supporting? Is this temporary or foundational? And am I fixing a behaviour or avoiding one?
