About this episode

This episode explores the differences between European and American bread and their effects on health and weight management.

I’m uncovering why so many people can eat bread in Europe without bloating, cravings, or weight gain, yet struggle with American bread, and the answer has far more to do with ingredients, fermentation, additives, and blood sugar than willpower. Learn how sugar, ultra-processed foods, gut health, GLP-1 production, and hidden food chemicals may be affecting your metabolism, hunger, and ability to lose weight.
