Continuous Glucose Monitors - or CGM's - tell you how much glucose is in your body in real-time. But can they be helpful for runners? As the carb revolution continues and we understand the importance of high-carb fueling for endurance performance, the next logical question to ask is: Well, what's the optimal level of glucose? Is there a range that's most beneficial? Coach Hunter Allen joins us to discuss how to train effectively with a CGM. He is a USA Cycling Level I coach, founder of the Peaks Coaching Group, cofounder of TrainingPeaks Software, and a former professional cyclist with the Navigators team. Hunter has been coaching endurance athletes since 1995 and was also the BMX technical coach for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. His new book is now available for preorder: Training and Competing with a Continuous Glucose Monitor: A User's Guide for Athletes. In this episode we discuss: What CGM's do and don't do How to calibrate a continuous glucose monitor The importance of finding your personal optimal range How to fuel to prevent crashes (AND spikes) Potential drawbacks and who a CGM is not for If you have not yet, make sure you hit the subscribe or follow button in your podcast player so you never miss an episode of the Strength Running Podcast!

In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone discusses the various scams and misleading trends in the wellness community, particularly focusing on biohacking. He critiques popular health claims, such as the benefits of hydrogen water, cold plunges, and mouth taping, while emphasizing the lack of scientific evidence supporting these practices. Dr. Tassone also highlights the dangers of certain health products, including stem cell patches and energy blocking stickers, and encourages listeners to be informed consumers in a market filled with misinformation. Episode Highlights: How biohacking is often a marketing ploy rather than a legitimate health practice Why many wellness trends lack scientific backing and can be harmful Reasons cold plunges may not provide the benefits claimed by marketers The truth about mouth taping Energy blocking stickers false claims Truth about stem cell patches Why the carnivore diet is not a one-size-fits-all solution Reasons continuous glucose monitors may not be necessary for everyone Scammers in the wellness industry prioritizing profit over health Why consumers should critically evaluate health claims and products Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Endurance Products Company! After over 25 years of practicing medicine, I'll be the first to tell you that not all supplements are created equal. But when I discovered Dihydroberberine SR, by Endurance Products Company, I was genuinely impressed. It's highly bioavailable and outperforms standard berberine at significantly lower doses. You can explore their offerings at endur.com. Not only is the science solid, but I love that Endurance Products Company is a family-run American company that has cared about doing things right since 1978. I've started recommending Dihydroberberine to my patients who struggle with blood sugar management, and the results speak for themselves. So much so, that I personally take this supplement for helping to support healthy blood sugar levels, heart health, and tap into how my body uses fats for energy As a special offer for my audience, Endurance Products Company is providing a 10% discount on your order!

If you're curious to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), this episode is a must-watch!Blood sugar regulation and metabolic health are HOT topics right now, and considering that some skin issues (like psoriasis) make you prone towards having issues, I frequently have these conversations with clients.Being that I'm perimenopause with a family history of diabetes, I thought it would be a good idea to try a over the counter CGM monitor purely to gain insight into my blood sugar balance and metabolic health.The most frequent question is “is trying a continous glucose monitor worth it?”While using a CGM monitor is quite straightforward, I can see why someone might wonder about this. And while I went into my two-week experiment with a bit of skepticism, I discovered a few crazy important things that I couldn't have figured out any other way.So let's dive into why I do believe that a continuous glucose monitor can be a useful tool, who should (and shouln't) use this type of device, what the experience was like putting on and removing the CMG monitor, and what I wish I knew before I tried it the first time.Let's dive in!In This Episode:Who should (and shouldn't) try a continuous glucose monitorHow to use a CGM monitorWhat I learned about my blood sugar from using an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitorWhat NOT to do with a continous glucose monitor (I wish I knew this when I tried it the first time)How often should you use a CGM (if you're not diabetic)?CGM monitor tips: What's actually stuck to your arm?The over the counter continuous glucose monitor I triedQuotes“And the group of people who I think…should probably work with a nutrition or medical professional while using a CGM would be somebody who has a history of eating disorders…and those who have significant disordered eating patterns. If you feel like knowing that a particular meal or food is going to make you terrified to eat that food, don't do this on your own.”“The other thing that did seem to spike my blood sugar was when I didn't eat soon enough…if I just pushed through the hunger and pushed off eating in a window of time, that's when I would start to see my blood sugar spike on its own.”LinksUse THIS LINK to save $50 off of your first month on NutrisenseHealthy Skin Show ep. 217: Health Concerns Linked to Psoriasis (You SHOULD Know About)Healthy Skin Show ep. 347: Adult Hormonal Acne + Blood Sugar Dysfunction: What's The Connection?
This week, Dr. Kahn dives into a packed lineup of health insights! He kicks things off with a new study on kimchi and its weight loss benefits, sharing a favorite brand recommendation: olivemypickle.com. Then, it's onto breakfast – or lack thereof – as Dr. Kahn breaks down three studies highlighting the risks of skipping this crucial meal. Next, he explains why he now includes Cystatin C in his routine lab panels and explores two studies on sugar: one revealing the dangers of sweetened beverages and the other showcasing the surprising advantages of maple syrup. Plus, a new study makes the case for soy milk as the optimal plant-based choice. In the main discussion, Dr. Kahn tackles a trending question: Should non-diabetic individuals consider using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)? He explores the science behind blood sugar, heart health, and longevity while weighing the pros and cons of using a CGM, now accessible through hellolingo.com. While there's no long-term proof of health benefits for healthy individuals, Dr. Kahn makes a compelling case for why it might be worth trying at least once.

This week's episode of The Metabolic Classroom focuses on the potential of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) as a valuable tool not only for individuals with diabetes but also for anyone interested in gaining deeper insights into their metabolic health.CGMs, which measure glucose levels continuously by detecting interstitial glucose, provide real-time feedback on how diet, exercise, stress, and sleep impact blood sugar, making them useful beyond their traditional application for managing diabetes.Dr. Bikman highlights studies that showcase the variability in individual glucose responses to the same foods, which can be attributed to factors like gut microbiome composition. Ben cites a prominent 2015 study from Israel that revealed individuals' glucose reactions to identical foods varied widely, showing the personal nature of glycemic responses and the role of CGMs in helping people manage their blood glucose variability.Another study, from Stanford University, further illustrates how CGMs can reveal “hidden” glucose spikes, leading people to make more informed dietary and lifestyle decisions.Dr. Bikman touches on the idea that, beyond personal use, CGMs have clinical benefits as well. Studies from the Scripps Research Institute and the Framingham Heart Study show that CGMs can detect early signs of prediabetes and diabetes in individuals who may otherwise go undiagnosed, providing a valuable tool for early intervention.While there are critiques about CGMs, including concerns about potential overemphasis on glucose levels, costs, and possible psychological impacts, Dr. Bikman asserts that the advantages—such as improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glycemic variability, and empowering users to make healthier choices—outweigh these concerns.Ben concludes by encouraging those curious about their metabolic health to consider CGMs as a practical tool for self-monitoring, with potential for significant long-term health benefits.visit: https://www.insuliniq.comBen's favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10)Ben's favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15)Ben's favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20)Ben's favorite health check-up for women: https://choosejoi.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite health check-up for men: https://blokes.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite exogenous ketone: https://www.americanketone.com (discount: Ben10)Show Notes/References:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

When you are struggling with all of the symptoms of a hormonally imbalanced body (which by the way is a common part of going through perimenopause) one of the first steps I focus on for myself and my clients is to manage blood sugar levels. Choosing nutrition that creates consistent blood sugar in the body will improve sleep, reduce cravings and fatigue, reduce cortisol and give the body the space it needs to metabolize and balance our hormones themselves…keeping all of those terrible symptoms away…not to mention aid our bodies in shifting from fat storage to fat burning…sounds pretty great right?!? Although managing your blood glucose on your own is possible, I have fallen in love with an amazing tool called a Continuous Glucose Monitor (or CGM) from a company called Nutrisense which you wear on your body and not only gives you immediate feedback on how your specific blood sugar is being affected by your food choices, but also how to improve energy, sleep, fitness and therefore results. On this episode of the pod, I am fortunate enough to have the amazing Catherine Staffieri, a nutrition and glucose expert and registered dietician with Nutrisense, to chat about the impact of glucose on hormones, perimenopause and menopause, weight loss and the incredible benefits of using a CGM as a tool to help you feel your best. Catherine is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist currently working as a Nutrition Manager at Nutrisense, one of the fastest growing healthtech start-ups aimed to help anyone discover and reach their health potential. Catherine has counseled thousands of clients on their glucose scores reviewing over 750,000 hours of glucose data and recorded meals in the process, while recommending nutritional adjustments to improve metabolic health. She holds a Masters in Nutrition Education from Columbia University and completed her undergrad work at the University of Pennsylvania. She enjoys cooking, spending time with her 3 kids, traveling and being active. Catherine's philosophy is that you're never too old to make changes in your life to better your mind, your body and your well being.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Glucose Monitoring Builds Awareness "CGM is a new metric that can reflect your health back at you. We don't have an emotional tie to a lot of our body signals so the CGM can be an unbiased way to build awareness." - Kara Collier Healthy Decisions "I don't need to eliminate everything that's bad from my life in order to be healthy. I just need to know what works for me in different situations and to make good decisions at different inflection points. People want good health, that's the thing they want to control. But we don't have to be perfect to be there. We actually just need to be consistent." - Kara Collier Become An Active Driver "The current environment is going to push you towards obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia if you become passive rather than an active driver. But when you're empowered with the right information and you make the choices to actually consistently move forward with that information, then you can be an active driver, even if the environment is working against you." - Kara Collier Links From Today's Show Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How to Eat, Move, And Be Healthy by Paul Chek The Acute Effects of Interrupting Prolonged Sitting Time in Adults with Standing and Light-Intensity Walking on Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health in Adults
With metabolic dysfunction on the rise (including everything on the insulin resistance/pre-diabetes and diabetes spectrum) it's critical to understand how we are metabolizing glucose and carbohydrates. When you come to the doctor's office, we typically check glucose, insulin and other markers in a fasting state, but we have no idea what happens later in the day. Until recently, continuous glucose monitors have only been approved by insurance for diabetic patients and have required a prescription. Recently Dexcom released an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor called Stelo, which measure is your glucose every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. Today I'm talking about my experience with Stelo and why it might be something to consider, especially if you're struggling with weight gain or if you simply want to be educated about how different foods affect your metabolism.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is transforming the way we approach health, weight management, and chronic disease prevention. Understanding glucose levels in real-time can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their diet, exercise, and lifestyle, ultimately leading to better health outcomes. Whether you're managing diabetes or simply looking to optimize your health, this episode offers valuable information on the potential of CGM technology. To break all of this down, we invited Dr. Paul Kolodzik to the show. Dr. Kolodzik is the author of The Continuous Glucose Monitor Revolution and is Board Certified in Preventive Medicine. He also is a published author on many dietary and metabolic health topics and has become a recognized leader in the field of metabolic health. In this episode, Dr. Kolodzik shares his expertise on how real-time glucose tracking can provide deep insights into our body's response to food, exercise, and stress, offering a powerful tool for managing weight, preventing chronic diseases, and optimizing overall health. Tune in to learn how CGM technology is making a difference and how it can be a game-changer in your health journey.

Today, I'm fortunate to welcome Kara Collier back to the show for her third appearance. She is the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America's fastest-growing wellness-tech startups, where she leads the health team. She is a Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, frequent podcast guest & conference speaker. Kara has made it her mission to help others reach optimal health using modern technology & expert coaching. In addition to being a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology by nondiabetics, she is championing the use of the human connection to heighten the impact of tech innovations in the healthcare industry. In this episode, Kara explains that many people mistakenly believe that glucose is only relevant for those with diabetes, but in reality, it's a key indicator of overall metabolic health. Metabolic health, which drives essential bodily functions like cell growth and energy regulation, relies on glucose as a fuel source. Monitoring glucose levels provides valuable insights into how efficiently the body's metabolic system functions. Kara highlights the significant impact of stress on glucose levels, noting that not only food but also mental and emotional states can trigger spikes. Stressful situations can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which in turn increase glucose. She emphasizes the importance of being mindful of one's state of mind, particularly before eating, as stress can hinder digestion and exacerbate glucose responses. Incorporating relaxation techniques can help mitigate these effects.

I know, I know, this is a big deviation from our normal content, but this is for the people out there who want to eat carbohydrates in the most healthy way possible. I did NOT approach this in a confrontational way, so think for yourself about the claims make in this show! I have so much respect for Phoebe being willing to talk to our largely low-carb audience! Phoebe Lapine is a Brooklyn-based chef and author of four books, and is the founder of Feed Me Phoebe, an award-winning lifestyle and recipe blog. Being the daughter of a terrific cook and as an only child of two creatives (her father is a Tony-award-winning director and playwright, and her mom is an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker and screenwriter), she was always encouraged to find her passion. On a personal note, Phoebe is an advocate for autoimmune disease and finding food freedom despite chronic illness. She had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and learned that she was very sensitive to gluten. This was pivotal in helping her develop her outlook on wellness, what she calls “healthy hedonism” – that sweet spot where the things that nourish your body overlap with the things that feed your spirit. Her most recent book, CARBIVORE: 130 Healthy Recipes to Stop Fearing Carbs and Embrace the Comfort Foods You Love, is a culinary and dietary road map for making a carb-inclusive diet part of a healthy lifestyle and nutritious meals.
