Episode notes
From Restriction To Recovery
- Kitty described years of restrictive dieting, binge eating, miscarriages, and hormonal issues before finding pro-metabolic nutrition.
- Eating balanced carbs, protein, and fat plus strength training improved her cycles, sleep, and energy within months.
Carbs As Diagnostic Tools
- Craig framed carbs as diagnostic: bad tolerance often reveals underlying dysfunction, not carbs being inherently harmful.
- He argued carbs should be friends that highlight issues to be fixed rather than demonized.
Testing Grandparents' Food
- Kitty tested Ray Peat-style foods like orange juice, chocolate milk, sourdough and potatoes and noticed dramatic improvements in sleep and cycles.
- She tied this to eating like her grandparents: real food, dairy, bread, organs, and fats.
