Carbohydrates, along with protein and fat, are vital macronutrients that give the body energy for overall health. While too many refined carbs can cause weight gain and health issues, the problem is not the carbs themselves but how much and what kind you eat.

Dr. Hasadsri and their sons Silas and Paul enjoy a ride at Disneyland this past fall.

These identities, sometimes known as “alters” or dissociative parts, each seem to have their own independent traits, behaviors, thoughts, and perceptions of the world. They might even have their own names. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, DID is extremely distressful because you may lose control or awareness when one of the alters surfaces. You might wake up in a new location and learn that you drove there in an emotional state. Or perhaps you frequently experience a sense of…
