Could your diet be silently sabotaging your health? Join us as Dr. Damaris Maria Grossman explores the vital topic of managing insulin spikes and glucose levels. Even if you don't have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, understanding glucose management is crucial for your overall well-being. Discover how monitoring hemoglobin A1c levels and recognizing the impact of different foods—beyond just sweets—can prevent insulin spikes. Dr. Grossman also sheds light on the surprising effects of artificial sweeteners, high-carb diets, saturated fats, and a sedentary lifestyle on insulin resistance, and offers practical advice on balanced protein intake and intermittent fasting. Plus, learn how age and gender can influence your insulin sensitivity.
In another illuminating segment, we delve into the powerful connection between diet, sleep, and overall health. Dr. Grossman introduces substances like berberine for sugar regulation and provides a critical warning against artificial sweeteners. We also discuss how poor dietary choices can lead to a host of health issues, including inflammation, cavities, and sinus infections. And don't underestimate the importance of a good night's sleep! Quality rest is key to maintaining hormonal balance and overall health. Tune in for actionable insights and tips to help you manage insulin and sugar levels, prioritize dental health, and sleep better to become the best version of yourself.
