If you’ve ever been told to give up pasta, load up on veggies, and eat yogurt for a healthier gut—you’re not alone.

But as I often say, popular advice isn’t always good advice.

In this episode of the podcast, I break down what’s really going on with these so-called “health” foods. You’ll learn which pasta alternatives can actually support your health, which vegetables might be working against you, and which yogurts are truly gut-friendly (plus the ones that are worse than ice cream).

On this episode you’ll learn:

A surprising pasta alternative rich in magnesium and potassium—nutrients that support both heart and gut health (2:35)
The fiber-rich pasta that delivers 25% of your daily fiber in just one serving (and it happens to be one of my personal favorites!) (4:19)
The brand that’s changing the pasta game by offering all your favorite shapes—made with ingredients your gut will love(7:24)
The common vegetable that’s almost always genetically modified—and how it could be causing unwanted weight gain (10:15)
Why cooking your potatoes like THIS is making them even more harmful (13:52)
The unexpected green vegetable that packs even more carbs and sugar than a cup of pasta (17:05)
