Zoom Meeting Recap: Sept. 18th

Hi everyone! Let’s dive into a quick recap of today's conversation on glucose monitoring and why it’s such a game changer for your health.

Glucose monitors are an incredible tool to help you understand how your daily habits—like the food you eat and the way you move—impact your blood sugar and, ultimately, your energy, weight, and overall well-being. It’s all about gaining insight into your unique patterns.

We also touched on managing diabetes naturally, focusing on diet and lifestyle shifts. Prioritizing self-care and making small adjustments can have a big impact.

Whether you're aiming to boost your energy, shed a few pounds, support/prevent diabetes, or calm inflammation, tracking your glucose can help you take control.

I personally use the Libra monitor, which syncs easily with apps like Freestyle, giving real-time insights right at your fingertips. *Download Freestyle Libre 2 app.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) make tracking effortless. They log your levels throughout the day and even alert you to highs or lows, which is especially helpful overnight.

We discussed which experiments we are keen to try first in order to note our body responses. From adding more fiber, to hydration/dehydration impacts, to adjusting meal timing, fasting vs. non fasting impact on the day, green juices can, etc; we are putting our body's to the test!

We also talked about alcohol. It can trigger glucose crashes, so choosing smarter, low-sugar options can make a big difference in how you feel.

And lastly, don’t forget the importance of resistance training, especially for those looking to strengthen bones and manage osteoporosis—it’s essential for long-term health. We touched on the benefit of vibration plates for bone density and dispelled some myths when it comes to "milk being the best calcium source" (Marketing!).

Thanks for tuning in! Keep experimenting and stay curious. Glucose tracking is one of the most powerful tools to optimize your health and feel your best.
