In today’s episode, my son Steven and daughter McKenna Kate join me as we talk about how our family eats. We talk about the “Refined Carbs Deal” our family has done for the last 9 months, how it works, what we like about it, and if we will keep it up once the year is up! 

Hope you enjoy :)

I interview my oldest son, Steven, and we talk about the 3 systems Steve (my husband) and I used to instill unity in our kids. Hope you enjoy!

Every time we swallow food, our body makes a decision about what to do with those calories. 

Your body chooses to either: 

1. Store the calories as fat
2. Burn the calories as energy

Have you ever wondered how your body makes that decision?

In this episode, Dr. Bikman and I answer this question and talk about all things human metabolism. We discuss:

• How our bodies decide what to do with the food we eat (burn as energy, or store as fat)
• What types of food send the message "store fat" and what foods send the message "burn fat"
• How insulin works in our bodies
• Our family's new favorite food product, and why we LOVE it 
• If sweeteners are okay, and if so, which ones to use and which ones to avoid
• How insulin plays a role in the transmission of COVID 19
• What Dr. Bikman and I eat, and what we feed our families and kids
• Dr. Bikman's new book "Why We Get Sick"
• And SO MUCH MORE!
