Episode 67: Kien Vuu, MD
For sure, you’ve heard a lot of myths and truths about this. So hopefully, in my latest podcast, I help shed a light–a spotlight to this major antagonist in your health and performance story.
This is a key biomarker that when not in control could lead to numerous chronic conditions.
In fact, cancer, autoimmune conditions, inflammatory conditions, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (also known as diabetes type III), diabetes, and basically every chronic condition are associated with it.
But if you get this under control, it gives you access to optimal health, longevity, and peak performance.
What is this?
I’ll give you a hint: It’s BS!
As in BLOOD SUGAR.
So watch out for your blood sugar levels by doing these seven very simple, but very effective hacks.
I have personally tried these and I coach my community to incorporate these into their daily lives as part of their peak performance and optimal health master plan.
Catch Thrive State podcast’s episode where I unpack the BS that is blood sugar. Only here at the Thrive State podcast!
As a very special gift for those wanting to make a first move to fasting as a health hack, you can try ProLon’s Fast-Mimicking diet for 15% off by using the code THRIVESTATE.
Show notes
Symptoms of uncontrolled blood sugar: Sugar craving. Getting hungry even after you’ve eaten. Getting fatigued or tired, particularly after meals. Panic attacks. Longterm symptoms: hormonal imbalances – acne, a polycystic ovarian syndrome.
- Watch the type of foods that you eat. The simple the sugars (fructose, pure sugars, starches), the faster it raises your blood sugar levels. Hidden sugars like those that end with O (sucrose, lactose).
- Practice fasting. Give your pancreas a rest. When you’re fasting, you’re actually using your stored body fat to be converted to energy (called metabolic flexibility).
- Switch the order of your food intake. Start with fiber (vegetables). Fiber coats your stomach and slow down nutrient absorption. Then proteins. Lastly, eat your carbs.
- Take a spoonful or two of vinegar (ACV) to inhibit alpha amla and slow down the breaking down process of starch to glucose and to increase the absorption of glucose by the muscle to form glycogen.
- No naked carbs. Dress starch with fiber, fats or protein to decrease glucose spike.
- Use your muscles after you eat. Do 10-15 minutes of very light exercise after meals to decrease the glucose spike.
- Sleep well. Get 7-9 hours of quality sleep to increase grelin in your body.
