I'm busting a major myth today that's holding back so many women in their quest for health after 60: the idea that carbs are the enemy. While diet dogmas like keto and carnivore have vilified carbohydrates, I'm sharing why strategic carb consumption is actually essential for your metabolism, muscle maintenance, and longevity as you age. The truth is that your body is not just a bank account or chemistry lab—it's also a history book, and carbs play a crucial role in that story, especially for stressed women, active women, and those struggling with hunger control. Discover why your brain loves carbs, how they support adrenal health, and which nutrient-packed carb sources can actually enhance your muscle strength and energy levels after 60.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why the "carbs make you fat" myth is oversimplified and how macronutrient balance actually impacts weight

  • How carbs support your exercise recovery by replenishing muscle glycogen stores

  • The crucial role carbohydrates play in adrenal health and stress management

  • Why your brain needs carbs for optimal function and mood regulation

  • The best types of carbs to eat for muscle support and longevity

  • How fiber-rich carbs help regulate hunger by influencing GLP-1 and ghrelin

  • The ideal ways to incorporate carbs without blood sugar spikes
