Podcasts about blood sugar

In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the importance of stomach acid for proper digestion and overall health. He explains how low stomach acid can lead to nutrient deficiencies, gut infections, and digestive issues like bloating and reflux. Dr. Jockers also shares simple at-home tests to determine if your stomach acid levels are sufficient.   You'll learn how stomach acid plays a key role in breaking down protein and absorbing vital minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. Without enough acid, your body can't effectively absorb nutrients, which impacts energy levels, skin health, and immune function.   Dr. Jockers also offers practical tips to improve stomach acid production naturally, including how to activate the vagus nerve and optimize digestion with simple lifestyle changes. By the end of the episode, you'll have actionable steps to support your gut health and boost nutrient absorption.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Stomach Acid and Digestion 00:31 Importance of Stomach Acid 01:39 Blood Sugar and Insulin Resistance 03:49 How to Test Your Stomach Acid Levels 04:00 Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion 10:31 The Steak Test 14:12 Apple Cider Vinegar Test 15:59 Baking Soda Test 17:21 Optimizing Stomach Acid Levels 21:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Ready to supercharge your metabolic health?

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices. 

In this episode, we explore how to support steady blood sugar during the holiday season using Ayurvedic wisdom. With more sugar, irregular meals, travel, and stress during the holidays, it's easy for the body's metabolic fire (agni) to become overwhelmed. Ayurveda offers practical, gentle tools to keep digestion strong, cravings balanced, and energy steady. We take a deeper look at the pancreas as a home of agni and how its function relates to three key subdoshas: Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha, and Samana Vayu. You'll learn how these forces work together to regulate metabolism, mood, and digestive rhythm and why sugar crashes are both a physical and emotional imbalance. You'll also discover: Why holiday habits disrupt blood sugar How sugar cravings form from an Ayurvedic standpoint Simple remedies for sugar crashes Spices that naturally support metabolic balance Eating rhythms and lifestyle tools that strengthen agni Practices to prevent toxins (ama) and emotional overload during the festive season Whether you struggle with cravings, energy dips, or digestive heaviness this time of year, this episode offers grounded, practical support to help you stay balanced through the holidays.

Episode 3217: Ben Greenfield explores the unique advantages of blending fruits and vegetables over juicing, emphasizing how blending preserves fiber, slows sugar absorption, and boosts satiety. Backed by research and practical tips, his insights help health-conscious readers make smarter, more nutrient-dense choices in their daily routines. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/nutrition-articles/benefits-of-blending/ Quotes to ponder: "Blending maintains the fiber, which slows down the rate of sugar absorption and promotes a feeling of fullness." "Juicing strips away the fiber, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar levels followed by an inevitable crash." "Blending makes it easier to consume a wider variety of vegetables in a single serving."

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on a supplement called Protandim — a product marketed to reduce oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, support cellular repair, and promote detoxification and gene regulation. The company claims it's backed by dozens of peer-reviewed studies, but most of the research has been done in animals or cell cultures, and the few human studies show mixed results. Online opinions seem polarized — some call it a marketing gimmick, while others swear by it — so it's been difficult to find balanced, evidence-based perspectives. I'd love to hear your assessment — whether you've had any experience with it in your practice, what results (if any) you've observed, and whether you'd consider it a science-supported supplement worth considering.              Sarah: Hey doc! I've been rebounding/vibration plate/dry brushing consistently for over 2 years now. I also sauna once every week or so. When Im rebounding I notice that I get a pain in my left collar bone. I always massage the area before and after. I thought after rebounding for this long the pain might go away. Its not so painful but its uncomfortable and im wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? My partner recently tried rebounding and he said he felt pain also. We've done a bunch of detoxes, CBO, mold etc, both walk alot and exercise and generally pretty healthy.                                   Bryan: Hi Dr. C, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on Kratom. I've heard you discuss nicotine, cannabis and various other psychedelics on your podcast and their "potential" medicinal benefits but never heard you mention Kratom. Do you have any opinions on this plant? More harm than good? Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks,                                                                               Anthony: Hi Doctor Cabral, THANK YOU for all you do. Our 12 year old son seems to have red bags under his eyes more often than we think he should. He also has a small patch of warts on his upper forehead, a slightly bigger wart on the top of his foot and a small patch of bumps on his upper forearm hear his elbow. We had his blood work done taken and it came back with no issues. We also had a food sensitivity test done = IgE Allergy High is cashew, flax seed, green pea, lima bean, navy bean, and his IgG Sensitivity highs being turkey, with many moderate foods on both the allergy and sensitivity sides. Just wondering what your input would be. Thank you Anthony                                                                  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly resonate with your philosophy of addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. I've listened to all your podcasts and read your book, and I really appreciate your holistic approach. I'm also an IHP2. My question is about blood sugar imbalances. Most natural health books I've read on this topic tend to focus on symptom management through low-carb diets. Do you have a book you'd recommend that explores how to restore cell membrane function and rebalance this dynamic at the deepest level?

Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we'll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels. 0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes!0:25 High blood sugar explained2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes 12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally14:05 More blood sugar management tips Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar. The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don't actually need to consume any sugar at all. Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases.Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing5. Tylenol usage6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. DehydrationAn A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results. The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes.To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following:•Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals•Morning walks•Berberine •Get plenty of sleep•Reduce stress levels•Increase sunlight exposureDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Midlife can feel confusing when your body stops responding to the habits that always worked. You're eating well, training, supporting hormones and still sensing shifts you can't name. For this conversation, I am joined by acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner Deb Ross, who shares how those quiet changes built up long before she understood what her body was asking for. In this episode, we explore the emotional shifts that often show up first, why stress and hormones can feel identical and how pain or burnout becomes the turning point for many women. We also break down what Deb learned from wearing a continuous glucose monitor, the surprising foods that spiked her and how timing and protein transformed her energy, cravings and body. This episode is practical, grounded and full of clarity for anyone who has felt “different” lately and can't explain why. Deb Ross is a licensed acupuncturist, board-certified herbalist and founder of The Well Center. With over fifteen years of clinical experience, she blends Chinese medicine, somatic work and lifestyle support. Her work spans women's health, pain, autoimmune conditions and emotional well-being.

In this episode, Ben breaks down the right way to use apple cider vinegar for fat loss, gut health, and stable energy. ACV only works when taken at the correct timing, and most people unknowingly do it wrong, which leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and zero progress. Ben explains why 10–20 minutes before your biggest meal is the sweet spot for lowering blood sugar spikes, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cravings, and activating your fat-burning pathways. He also covers the benefits for acid reflux, GERD, bloating, and digestion — and why low stomach acid is the hidden reason many people struggle with gut issues. You'll learn the ideal dosage, the difference between liquid ACV and supplements, why many gummies are useless, and a minute-by-minute breakdown of what ACV does inside your body. Ben also answers the most common listener questions about fasting, warm water, morning routines, and long-term use. FREE GUIDE: The World's Easiest Breakfast Diet - https://bit.ly/48KybFp 

For some couples, conception looks quick and effortless. For others, it's a long, humbling journey that asks you to rethink everything you thought you knew about your body, your faith, and your timeline. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz talks with Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and fertility mentor Calista (Callie) Chammas, founder of Nourish with Calista, to explore a raw, hopeful, deeply bio-individual look at growing a family in an increasingly infertile world.  After graduating from the Nutritional Therapy Association in 2019, Calista found her calling in fertility through the fires of her own journey - 13 years on the pill, post-birth-control chaos, "unexplained infertility," medicated cycles, IUI, IVF, and a 42-week home birth. She and her husband now await the arrival of their second child.  Calista works with women and families navigating both simple and complex fertility challenges, using ancestral nutrition, targeted lifestyle shifts, nervous-system regulation, precise Functional Blood Chemistry analysis, and the Foundations of Health as taught through the Nutritional Therapy Association, to help restore ovulation and optimize the environment for conception. She is also co-creating a powerful upcoming program, Nourish Your Radiant Fertility - bridging functional nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine for truly holistic preconception support. Together, Jamie and Callie dig into the realities behind falling fertility rates, the aftermath of long-term birth control use, why ovulation is the real monthly vital sign, how labels like "infertile" can quietly shape outcomes, and why safety, mindset, and nervous-system regulation may matter as much as lab work. They share accessible, affordable Foundations of Health: nutrient-dense ancestral foods, blood-sugar balance, mineral-rich hydration, stress regulation, sleep, nature exposure, circadian rhythm, and community support - and speak to the financially and ethically complicated aspects of IVF. Bio-individuality refuses the false choice between "all conventional" and "all holistic." This episode is especially for couples navigating the gray zone—those who want to understand why their body is struggling, who don't want to be reduced to a diagnosis, and who want a real pathway forward, whether they use natural methods, IVF, or both. Topics Discussed: Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Ovarian (HPO) axis Post-birth-control syndrome Ovulation as a vital sign "Unexplained infertility" and medical labeling Nervous system regulation/parasympathetic activation Fertility & safety signaling Ancestral nutrient-dense foods Blood sugar regulation & Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) (insulin resistance of the ovaries) Mineral-rich hydration/electrolytes Circadian rhythm & morning sunlight Nature exposure for nervous system balance Stress perception Natural-cycle embryo transfer Ethical Considerations in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) Medical gaslighting & advocating for yourself Male factor infertility & sperm DNA fragmentation Community support during fertility journeys Boundaries with family/pressure dynamics Identity vs. diagnosis reframing Fortifying the Foundations of Health: Nutrient-dense diet, hydration, digestion, blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, joyful movement Related and Complementary Podcast Episodes: Episode 71: A Fertility Journey to Natural Pregnancy Through Foundational Healing Episode 61: PCOS Root Cause  Episode 28: Blood Sugar 101 - Hope for Reversing Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Episode 29: Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Episode 62: MORE Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Episode 9: Food For Fertility Episode 66: SIBO Symptoms and Solutions Episode 6: The Dr. Francis M Pottenger Episode  Episode 69: The Dr. Weston A Price Episode Episode 46: Wellness 101 Episode 60: Super Foods, Super Kids Episode 4: Bio-Individuality Episode 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Episode 10: Optimal Wellness Starts Here (How DIGESTION is supposed to work!)

Prediabetes is common in the U.S. — around 1 in 3 people have it. And many people may not know they have it. But last year, the FDA approved the first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor. Since then, more people without diabetes have started checking their blood glucose levels. Diabetologist and University of California, San Francisco professor of medicine Dr. Sarah Kim shares the science behind blood glucose with host Emily Kwong. Check out more of NPR's coverage about continuous glucose monitors.Interested in more science of the human body?

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:49] What a cellular-level mineral test reveals long before blood work changes[04:57] How calcium can steady your system or silently block hormonal signals[05:51] The surprising ways low magnesium derails energy, mood, and digestion[06:52] What sodium levels expose about your stress load and resilience[18:52] How mold strips key minerals and creates the “four lows” pattern[20:26] Why arsenic and other heavy metals rise when minerals crash[32:40] What it really takes to move from mineral survival mode back to stabilityResources Mentioned:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteOther Hormone Healing episodes to listen to:Zinc deep dive | EpisodeCopper deep dive | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 1 | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 2 | EpisodeAll about the Copper IUD | EpisodeSelenium deep dive | EpisodeNothing boring about Boron | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

In this powerful conversation, Karen Martel interviews blood sugar expert Danielle Hamilton about one of the most common yet misunderstood midlife symptoms: waking up at 2–4AM and being unable to fall back asleep.If you've been told your nighttime wakeups are “just hormones,” “just stress,” or “just insomnia,” this episode will be a game-changer.Dani breaks down: • why midlife women suddenly struggle with late-night blood sugar crashes • the difference between true hypoglycemia and metabolic hypoglycemia • how insulin, leptin, cortisol, and light exposure shape your overnight blood sugar • why keto helped you… until it didn't • how seasonal eating, fat/carb balance, and circadian biology affect sleep • the emotional + nervous system patterns common in people with hypoglycemia • why band-aids (snacks, progesterone, supplements) help temporarily but not long-term • the surprising role of histamine, stress addiction, and mitochondrial overload • what to do during the day to fix what's happening at nightThis is one of the most comprehensive, compassionate explanations you will ever hear about nighttime wakeups, and why the “eat a snack before bed” advice is only a short-term fix.Want to Join the next Cohort of Blood Sugar Mastery?

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on a new perspective in Alzheimer's research, particularly the role of microglial cells. She reveals insights from integrative neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter's presentation at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, emphasizing the significance of microglial cells in Alzheimer's disease. The discussion highlights the traditional focus on beta amyloid plaques and introduces the importance of shifting from the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to the M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglial cells. Dr. Perlmutter advocates for addressing systemic metabolic and inflammatory issues, pointing out factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and high blood sugar, which are crucial in preventing Alzheimer's. The episode delves into lifestyle interventions such as ketogenic diets, fasting, and nutritional impacts to manage and potentially reverse the detrimental shift in microglial behavior.

You've been told your AMH is too low or that your egg quality isn't good enough, especially if you're over 40. But AMH doesn't define your fertility; it's a reflection of ovarian reserve, not your ability to conceive. In this episode, we explore how a functional fertility approach can help you uncover the real reasons AMH is low and how to support your eggs, hormones, and body so you can move forward with confidence whether naturally or with IVF. You'll Learn: What AMH really measures and why many women with low AMH still conceive once key systems are supported. The underlying causes that lower AMH: inflammation, gut health, blood-sugar imbalance, thyroid/adrenal dysfunction, and nutrient depletion. Which functional labs reveal what conventional testing often misses (GI-MAP, DUTCH, micronutrients). How to support egg quality after 40 through personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, toxin reduction, and nervous-system regulation. When IVF fits best and how preparing your body 3–6 months in advance can improve response, embryo quality, and implantation. Inspiring success stories, including Samantha (age 44, AMH 0.02 ng/mL), who conceived naturally after addressing gut infections, insulin resistance, and stress. This episode is especially for you if: You've been told your AMH is low and want to understand what that really means for your fertility. You're in your late 30s or 40s and want evidence-based ways to support egg quality naturally. You're unsure if IVF is the next step and want clarity before investing time, money, and hope. Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally. Her team specializes in functional approaches for low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, recurrent miscarriage and helping couples prepare their bodies for pregnancy success naturally or with IVF.

Blood sugar affects everything from your energy and sleep to your hormones and weight—yet most women are never taught how to manage it. In this episode, Kara Collier, RDN and co-founder of Nutrisense, shares what you need to know about CGMs, practical lifestyle hacks for glucose control, and the unique considerations women face after 35.Timestamps:[1:44] Intro[6:45] Interview with Kara[7:06] What did you see in your practice that made you realize blood sugar is a much bigger piece of the health puzzle?[10:51] Can you define what healthy blood sugar is, outside of markers on labs?[13:45] What does healthy blood sugar look like from a CGM perspective? [19:20] What's your opinion on why women are struggling more with blood sugar?[24:36] What do CGM's track and what data is most important? [36:10] Talk to me about the impact that stress has on our blood sugar and our ability to manage glucose.[41:06] What about exercise and sauna (the things that raise our heart rate)? What do we expect to see, what's normal, and what's not?[48:01] What are some of the most effective "hacks" in nutrition and exercise for blood sugar?[55:30] Do you think that carb timing influences blood sugar at all?[56:28] I got a CGM to see if there is anything obvious with my sleep.  Am I trying to avoid spikes all together? [1:03:04] How do we actually reverse insulin resistance? [1:09:56] Is fasting really good for blood sugar?[1:11:38] My 10 -year -old daughter has been wearing a CGM for about a month now. She has high anxiety and I noticed that when her anxiety is high, a juice box will calm her down at night. Once we put a CGM on her, we realize that her glucose is pretty low on average. How do we keep her glucose up without eating straight sugar all the time? What are some good glucose boosting snacks? Episode Links:Nutrisense CGMWell Minerals Vitamin CSponsors:Go to drinklmnt.com/wellfed and use code WELLFED to get a free 8-pack with any drink mix purchase!Go to curednutrition.com/wellfed and use code WELLFED for 20% off.Go to http://mdlogichealth.com/chocolate and use coupon code COLLAGEN15  for 15% off.Go to wellminerals.us/chill and use code WELLFED to get 10% off your order.
