Does cooking and cooling your carbs actually help blood sugar spikes?

If you’ve seen TikToks about cold potatoes or leftover rice being a “blood sugar hack,” this episode is for you. We’re diving into resistant starch, what it is, how it forms, and why it acts a little like fiber in the body. We’ll talk about the science behind how this can aid with gentler glucose rise, break down a recent study on resistant starch, and share easy ways to add resistant starch into your meals. Whether you're managing diabetes, prediabetes, or simply want to feel better through food, our culturally aware and weight-inclusive team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists is here to help and we accept insurance.
