Should You Eat Slow Carbs to Feed Your Gut Bacteria?

Should you eat slow carbs to feed your gut bacteria? It’s a controversial topic, especially at a low-carb conference.

This did not stop the star of the BBC show Doctor in the House, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. In this presentation he discusses the differences between low carb and slow carb. And what the microbiome could do for our health.

This talk is from this year’s Low Carb Vail conference, and has only been available for our members before (check out our free trial), but now everyone can watch it above.
