In this episode of Inflamed in the Brain, host and registered dietitian Krissy dives into a topic that’s often misunderstood—carbohydrates. For all the self-proclaimed carb lovers out there, this episode is a must-listen. Krissy debunks the myth that carbs are "bad" and shares science-backed reasons why carbs are, in fact, essential for managing inflammation and supporting overall health. Carbs have long been criticized, dating back to the low-carb diet trends of the 90s with Atkins and continuing with modern trends like keto and paleo. These diets have promoted the idea that carbs lead to weight gain and poor health. However, Krissy sets the record straight by explaining that not all carbs are created equal. From curbing cravings to promoting restful sleep, nourishing gut bacteria, delivering antioxidants, and boosting energy, carbs offer many benefits that contribute to a balanced, anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
Key Points Covered in This Episode 1. Carbs Help Curb Cravings Krissy explains how complex carbs, like whole grains, fruits, and legumes, provide long-lasting energy and help curb cravings. Unlike simple carbs that cause blood sugar spikes and crashes, complex carbs break down slowly, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing cravings for sweets. She emphasizes that cutting out carbs entirely often backfires, leading to intense cravings that can increase inflammation. Consuming carbs in a balanced way keeps cravings at bay, supporting anti-inflammatory habits over the long term. 2. Carbs Fuel Your Gut Bacteria Carb-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are packed with fiber, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. When these bacteria digest fiber, they produce anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that support gut health and immune function. Examples of fiber-rich, anti-inflammatory foods Krissy mentions include apples, oats, chickpeas, and brown rice. Nourishing gut bacteria in this way can significantly impact inflammation, especially in chronic conditions. 3. Carbs Provide Energy for Physical Activity Krissy discusses how carbs serve as the body's preferred energy source, breaking down into glucose and storing as glycogen in the muscles. This reserve of energy is crucial for staying active, which in turn reduces inflammation markers in the body. She highlights how regular movement—even gentle exercise—has an anti-inflammatory effect by releasing anti-inflammatory proteins and improving circulation. 4. Carbs Deliver Antioxidants to Fight Oxidative Stress Many carb-rich foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, are high in antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress—a contributor to chronic inflammation. Krissy shares examples like berries, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens, which not only provide carbs for energy but also protect cells from damage with powerful antioxidants. By incorporating these antioxidant-rich foods, listeners can actively lower their inflammation levels. 5. Carbs Support Sleep Quality Krissy uncovers a lesser-known benefit of carbs: they can support restful sleep, which is essential for lowering inflammation. Complex carbs increase the availability of tryptophan, a precursor to the sleep-supporting hormones serotonin and melatonin. Krissy suggests foods like oatmeal, bananas, and potatoes as excellent options for promoting a good night’s sleep, which in turn allows the body to repair and manage inflammation effectively.
Krissy wraps up by encouraging listeners to view carbs as a valuable part of an anti-inflammatory diet rather than something to avoid. With the right choices—fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, and
In this episode of Inflamed in the Brain, host Krissy dives into the topic of overcoming overwhelm when starting over on a health journey, particularly for listeners who have experienced burnout and frustration after multiple failed diet attempts. With empathy and insight, Krissy shares her personal experiences—from restarting fitness after having a baby to adjusting her approach to nutrition after an MS diagnosis. Through relatable examples, she offers practical strategies to help listeners create sustainable changes without feeling overwhelmed or defeated.
Key Discussion Points:
Starting Small to Avoid Overwhelm Krissy emphasizes the importance of starting with small, realistic goals, rather than trying to overhaul every part of life at once. By focusing on one change at a time—whether it’s improving breakfast, adding a daily walk, or drinking more water—listeners can build sustainable habits without feeling like they have to tackle everything at once.
Keywords: starting small on a health journey, realistic health goals, how to avoid overwhelm when starting over, sustainable healthy habits
Shifting from Perfection to Progress Krissy discusses how perfectionism can be a barrier to sustainable health changes. Many people feel if they can’t do something perfectly, it’s not worth doing at all, which can lead to an all-or-nothing mindset. By focusing on small, consistent progress, listeners can build a routine that fits their lifestyle and remains achievable.
Keywords: perfectionism and health goals, all-or-nothing mindset, progress over perfection in health, sustainable wellness habits
Embracing Flexibility and Allowing Room to Learn Krissy encourages her audience to let go of rigid plans and embrace a more flexible approach. She explains that life is unpredictable, and being flexible with health goals—like having “Plan B” meals or modified exercise routines—can help avoid guilt and keep momentum going.

3 health benefits from coconut oil and 3 unique ways to incorporate it in your diet
Welcome to another episode of the "Inflamed in the Brain" podcast, hosted by registered dietitian Krissy Carbo. In this episode, Krissy dives deep into coconut oil, a food that's often misunderstood despite its potential health benefits. While some people avoid coconut oil due to its high saturated fat content, Krissy explains why it's not the heart disease risk many believe it to be. She also discusses three unique ways to incorporate coconut oil into your diet.
Addressing Misconceptions About Coconut Oil:
The episode begins by addressing a common misconception: that saturated fat automatically leads to heart disease. Krissy explains that while coconut oil can raise LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, it tends to raise the larger, fluffier LDL particles, which are less likely to cause heart disease. The smaller, denser LDL particles are the ones that penetrate artery walls, leading to plaque buildup and inflammation. The larger particles, on the other hand, have a lower risk of causing such damage. Furthermore, coconut oil can also increase HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which helps remove excess LDL from the bloodstream.
Key Health Benefits of Coconut Oil:
Krissy highlights three health benefits of coconut oil:
Increased Energy: Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are rapidly absorbed and transported to the liver. Once there, MCTs are converted into ketones, providing a quick energy source for both the body and brain. This makes coconut oil an excellent addition to your diet if you need a quick energy boost.
Promotes Regular Bowel Movements: The MCTs in coconut oil can help stimulate bowel movements, promoting regularity and reducing constipation. This quick movement through the digestive system can help people who struggle with irregularity, providing a gentle laxative effect.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Coconut oil's MCTs and lauric acid offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Ketones from MCTs have been shown to reduce brain inflammation, which is crucial for those dealing with neurological disorders. Lauric acid has antibacterial and antiviral properties, further reducing inflammation in the body.
Why are oats being demonized and how can you eat them without feeling guilty?
In this episode of the "Inflamed in the Brain" podcast, host and registered dietitian Krissy Carbo explores why oats are suddenly being demonized, despite their longstanding reputation as a healthy food. Krissy shares her insights on the latest trends and controversies surrounding oats, including their carb content, links to glyphosate, and how to eat oats in a way that supports your health. She also offers tips for enjoying oats without succumbing to diet culture's "good" or "bad" food labels.
Understanding Oats:
Krissy begins by explaining the different types of oats commonly found in grocery stores:
Rolled Oats: These are whole oat groats that are steamed and flattened, cooking in about 5-10 minutes. They are used in oatmeal and granola.
Steel-Cut Oats: These are chopped into small pieces, offering a coarser texture and chewy consistency. They take longer to cook, around 20-30 minutes.
Quick-Cook Oats: Also known as instant oats, they are pre-cooked and cut into smaller pieces, cooking in just 1-2 minutes.
Why Are Oats Considered Bad?
Krissy addresses the growing negativity around oats, focusing on two key points:
Carb Content: Oats are high in carbohydrates, leading to blood sugar spikes when eaten alone. Rapid blood sugar changes can cause fatigue and irritability, and over time, contribute to inflammation and chronic diseases.
Glyphosate Concerns: General Mills, a popular oat brand, has been linked to high levels of glyphosate, a controversial herbicide associated with cancer risks.
How Oats Can Benefit Your Health:
Despite the criticism, Krissy explains the health benefits of oats:
Lowering Cholesterol: Oats contain beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that helps lower LDL cholesterol by binding to bile acids and eliminating them from the body.
5 ways to feel confident in your body without weight loss
Introduction On this episode of "Inflamed in the Brain," host and registered dietitian Krissy Carbo dives into the importance of feeling confident in our bodies without focusing on weight loss. With International No Diet Day just behind us, Krissy explores how to challenge diet culture and embrace a healthier relationship with food and our bodies. This episode is all about letting go of unrealistic beauty standards and learning to appreciate ourselves as we are.
What is Diet Culture? Diet culture is a set of beliefs that equates thinness with health and worth. It encourages restrictive eating, body shaming, and the pursuit of an "ideal" body size. This mindset leads to unhealthy habits, self-esteem issues, and even disordered eating. Krissy addresses the harmful effects of diet culture and explains why it's essential to reject these beliefs for a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Feeling Confident Without Weight Loss Many people believe that losing weight will make them more confident, but Krissy explains that even after reaching a target weight, an inner critic can still point out flaws, leading to dissatisfaction. True confidence comes from accepting and appreciating our bodies, flaws and all. Throughout this episode, Krissy offers five ways to build body confidence without focusing on weight loss.
5 Ways to Build Body Confidence
Set a Social Media Limit: Social media often promotes unrealistic beauty standards. By limiting time on these platforms, you can break the cycle of comparison and focus on your journey.
Shift Focus from Numbers to Feelings: Instead of obsessing over numbers like weight or calories, focus on what makes you feel good. Pay attention to foods that energize you and clothing that feels comfortable.
Move Your Body for Appreciation, Not Punishment: Exercise can be a form of body appreciation when you find activities that you enjoy. It should not feel like punishment for indulging in food or socializing.
Appreciate What Your Body Can Do: Acknowledge your body's strengths, resilience, and adaptability. Recognize its capabilities, from everyday tasks to the miraculous ability to create life.
End the debate: Is it better to go organic or not? What do you do if you can't afford organic produce?
Organic vs. Inorganic Produce - What's the Healthier Choice?
Welcome to the "Inflamed in the Brain" podcast, hosted by Krissy, your friendly neighborhood dietitian. In this episode, Krissy discusses organic vs. inorganic produce, exploring the differences in farming practices and addressing common questions about their impact on health and the environment. She also dives into a recent controversy involving Bill Gates and edible food coatings designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer.
Krissy begins by sharing her personal experiences with organic food and the controversy surrounding it, pointing out her grandfather's skepticism. The episode also touches on the Bill Gates controversy involving Apeel Sciences, a company producing edible food coatings. She explains that these coatings are made from monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are common in processed foods and considered safe by the FDA.
Main Points
Understanding Organic vs. Inorganic Farming
Organic farming relies on natural techniques, avoiding synthetic chemicals and GMOs. Organic farmers use natural pesticides and herbicides, and practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control to maintain soil health and control pests.
Conventional (inorganic) farming uses synthetic chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides to boost crop yield. These practices aim to grow more food faster but raise concerns about environmental impact and health risks.
Is Organic Produce Healthier?
Organic produce is grown without synthetic chemicals, reducing potential exposure to harmful substances like glyphosate, a controversial herbicide linked to health risks and inflammation.
Conventional produce may contain traces of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, even after washing. Systemic pesticides, absorbed by plants, are challenging to remove. These chemicals may build up in the body, leading to health issues.
Does Washing Produce Remove Pesticides?
A Dietitian's Take on the Weight Loss Wonder Drug: Ozempic
Welcome back to another insightful episode of the Inflamed in the Brain podcast! I’m your host and dietitian, Krissy Carbo. Today, we’re diving into a hot topic: the so-called miracle weight loss drug, Ozempic. Initially FDA-approved to manage type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has gained traction as a weight loss aid, sparking a surge in prescriptions and public interest.
Main Points:
1. What is Ozempic and How Does it Work?
Ozempic contains semaglutide, an active ingredient also found in Wegovy, another FDA-approved weight loss medication.
As a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, Ozempic mimics the action of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite.
By activating GLP-1 receptors, Ozempic helps manage blood sugar levels, reduces appetite, and delays gastric emptying, leading to weight loss.
2. Why is Ozempic Popular?
Ozempic is praised for its ability to reduce cravings, a significant barrier to weight loss for many individuals.
Studies have shown that Ozempic can lead to a remarkable 15% reduction in body weight, surpassing the efficacy of other weight loss medications.
3. Is Ozempic the Ultimate Weight Loss Solution?
While Ozempic shows promise in aiding weight loss, it may not address the underlying issues driving weight management struggles.
Sustainable weight loss involves addressing mindset, confidence, eating habits, and body image, aspects not directly targeted by Ozempic.
Long-term use of Ozempic may pose risks, including gastrointestinal issues and potential concerns regarding cardiac and endocrine health.
4. The Importance of Addressing Root Causes
True health transformation involves addressing root causes beyond weight management, such as mindset and self-esteem.
While Ozempic may provide temporary weight loss, lasting success requires a holistic approach that includes mindset shifts and behavior change.
