Show Notes

236: In today's episode, Dr. Sarah and I discuss the food matrix and how the structure of our food actually impacts the way we digest and absorb the nutrients, how calories actually change in a food depending on their structure, and if negative calories actually exist. We dive into smoothies and the proper way to consume them, and also how fast we eat matters. And if you're peri or post menopause, Dr. Berry explains the reasons why women experience weight gain even though they haven't changed their eating habits or exercise routine and why we actually crave more food after a bad night's sleep.
