Do You Need to Stop Mixing Carbs and Protein? The Shocking Digestion Secrets You’ve Never Heard! | BOK

247: Have you ever wondered if the foods you’re eating are secretly plotting against you? Okay, maybe not secretly, but when it comes to food combining, some people believe that certain combos could cause chaos in your digestive system. We’re talking about things like steak and potatoes, dairy and seafood, or even melons with anything at all. These food combos have been labeled “bad,” but is there any truth to these claims, or are we just overthinking it?


In today’s episode I’m diving deep into the ancient (and still popular) world of food combining. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s wacky, and what might actually help (spoiler: some of these rules actually make sense). Is the idea of eating fruit alone really the key to good digestion? Or is it just a recipe for a very lonely snack? We’ll explore the science, the myths, and the occasional stomach ache, all while figuring out what works for YOU.


Topics Discussed:


  • What food combining actually means and where it came from
  • Common “bad” combos like steak and potatoes, dairy with seafood, and melons with anything
  • The science behind digestion and why some combos might cause discomfort
  • The case for eating fruit alone 
  • How food combining might improve digestion for some people
  • Real-life tips for balancing your meals without stressing over every bite
  • Myths debunked and practical takeaways for everyday eating
