Could the foods people fear most actually help improve insulin resistance?

In this episode of Jen and Dan’s Natural Healing with Plants, we explore research on the best plant-based proteins for blood sugar and metabolic health, including beans, lentils, split peas, chickpeas, and edamame.

We discuss:
-what insulin resistance actually is
-why fiber is necessary for metabolic health
-the gut microbiome connection
-resistant starch and blood sugar balance
-herbs traditionally used for metabolic support
-the truth about carbohydrates and blood sugar
-why traditional whole plant foods may be some of the most healing foods available

Modern science is finally beginning to confirm what traditional healing systems understood for centuries: whole plant foods can powerfully support the body’s ability to heal.
