Episode notes

A study shows that if you break your fast with fibre and protein and fat first, it makes a difference. You really don't want that blood sugar to be spiking up right when you eat that food. It's about also taking in non process, unrefined foods. A piece of ezekiel or sprouted bread is going to be ok in terms of your blood sugar bonce. The whole gut brain connection, your cravings, your hormons are so altered by these foods that we can't even understand exactly how they affect our health.

Dr. Amy Shah is a double board-certified MD with an undergraduate degree with honors from Cornell in Nutrition, medical training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, then further research and residency training at the Harvard Hospitals, and advanced training at the Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Immunology/Allergy. She is the author of I'm So Effing Tired: A Proven Plan to Beat Burnout, Boost Your Energy, and Reclaim Your Life.
