Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! The Whole30 plan follows a paleo philosophy but with some extra restrictions. It’s not a diet or a weight loss plan that focuses on tracking calories or counting points. Whole30 much more resembles an elimination diet plan. The idea behind this approach is to reset your metabolism and digestive tract. According to some research studies, elimination diets like Whole30 can be an effective tool to help some people with gastrointestinal issues. The question is though, does it really work?

Plus, sugar is added to many packaged foods and beverages, and we may be unaware we're consuming so much of it. With this constant exposure, it's no wonder why craving sweets is a common experience. But is it all due to personal habits and our culture's influence, or is something else going on?
