Episode Summary: Are carbs really the enemy? Not when they’re eaten in sync with seasons, hormones, and metabolic rhythms. In this episode, Shana breaks down why many women feel worse—not better—after long-term low-carb or keto, and how reintroducing seasonal, local carbohydrates can actually improve insulin sensitivity, hormone balance, and energy.

You'll learn how to shift from fear and restriction to trust and flexibility—rooted in both biology and God's design.
