Why Low-Carb Diets Backfire for Women (and What to Do Instead)
If you’ve been skipping the bread, passing on fruit, loading up on protein, and doing everything “right” to feel lighter, but your body still feels tired, bloated, and stuck, this episode is for you.
Today, we’re having the conversation most women never get to hear, but desperately need. One that explains what’s really happening under the surface when you go low carb (or no carb), why your metabolism might be slowing down instead of speeding up, and how to actually nourish your body back to balance without fear, shame, or obsession.
You’ll also hear real client stories, like Elisa’s, who was stuck in a cycle of “eat less, lose more” that wasn’t working and what happened when we gave her the one thing she was afraid of: carbs.
You’ll Learn:
- Why low-carb diets often feel “good” at first but backfire for many women
- What happens to your thyroid, cortisol, gut microbes, and cravings when you go too low on carbs
- How to test your personal carb tolerance and metabolic flexibility
- What a healthy, hormone-supportive carb actually looks like (hint: fruit is not the enemy)
- How to support your metabolism and digestion without cutting more
- Simple, sustainable shifts you can start this week to feel better in your body
