While consuming them from time to time may be okay, overindulging in them can be a recipe for a disaster, leading to inflammation, insulin resistance, disrupted sleep, and more.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dr. Robert Lustig about how the foods we love can often have negative consequences when overconsumed.
Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness.
