Think of symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, falling or staying asleep, gaining weight or trouble losing weight, digestive or hormone or skin issues and lack of patience as warning lights on your car's dashboard.

Carbohydrates (carbs) have gotten a bad rap. It’s no wonder when you think that both a donut and a banana are both a carb. While some come directly from nature, many others are unrecognizable by the body as ‘food’.

The primary purpose of carbs is to provide fuel for the body. Sounds like you need them then - right? The answer is 'it depends'.

Positive or negative, stress is insidious. You can add more and more until you can't. When you can't, it's time to look at your overall lifestyle and behaviours. While it's not the answer you're likely looking for, it's time to make some changes if you don't want to remain where you are.
