Flour Spiral
This week we’re tackling a food we all know and love: flour. But is it really as harmless as it seems? Join me as I break down the surprising science of refined flour, cravings, and hormones—plus how a few small shifts can help you take back control of your weight loss journey.
We’ll talk about why flour is classified as an ultra-processed food, how it hijacks hunger signals, and why it can make weight loss feel harder than it should. Don’t worry, I’ll make it simple, light, and easy to understand—because this is about living your best life, not stressing over bread.
