The Gut-Friendly Carb Linked to Longer Life

Backed by large studies. Powered by humble foods. And probably missing from your diet.

Not all carbs are created equal - and one type might just feed your gut, steady your blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and reduce your risk of cancer.

This week, we dive into resistant starch: what it is, where to find it, and why it’s a nutritional sleeper hit.

You’ll learn:

  • Why some starches act more like fibre (and why that matters)

  • What happens when you cook, chill and reheat your carbs

  • Which humble foods consistently show up in longevity studies

  • Why Big Food is jumping on the resistant starch bandwagon

  • And how to tweak your meals to support your microbiome (without buying anything weird)

No gimmicks. No fibre-fortified snacks. Just better carbs.
This isn’t just starch. It’s strategy.
