In Episode 120, Dr. Erica Peirson and I discuss the potential risks and concerns associated with carbohydrate restrictive diets, particularly for children.

CAUTION: If you / your child is already on a restrictive diet, especially for medical needs, please do not make changes without the support and Ok of a medical / nutritional professional as the case may be. This conversation is for educational purposes only. Restrictive diets are hard and tricky, so make sure you have someone by your side who knows what they are doing, and who can help you navigate.
