Ep. 112: The Problems with Resistant Starch and Balancing the Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio (Q&A)

The Energy Balance Podcast

In this episode we discuss:

• Why you might want to think twice about using resistant starch for blood sugar regulation and gut health
• Ways to increase or reduce the amount of resistant starch in the foods you eat
• How to tell if resistant starch is negatively impacting your gut health, and why non-resistant starch may also pose a problem
• The optimal calcium to phosphorus ratio according to the research
• The calcium paradox and why calcium intake doesn’t increase excitation or calcification
• The hidden dangers of excess phosphorus intake
