„Kaum ein Pflanzenstoff wird derzeit so intensiv erforscht wie Berberin. Der Grund dafür liegt tief im Energiestoffwechsel unserer Zellen.“ Jede einzelne Zelle unseres Körpers muss permanent entscheiden, ob sie Energie speichert, verbraucht oder neu bereitstellt. Gesteuert wird dieser Prozess unter anderem durch AMPK, einen der wichtigsten Energiesensoren unseres Stoffwechsels. Genau hier setzt Berberin an. Der natürliche Pflanzenstoff wird seit Jahrhunderten in der traditionellen Medizin eingesetzt und steht heute im Fokus der Forschung, weil er Stoffwechselprozesse beeinflussen könnte, die für Blutzucker, Fettstoffwechsel und Insulinsensitivität entscheidend sind. In dieser Deep Dive Folge der artgerecht HEALTH NERDS erklären Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum, was Berberin genau ist, wie es auf zellulärer Ebene wirkt und warum der Vergleich mit Abnehmmedikamenten wie Ozempic wissenschaftlich zu kurz greift. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Aktivierung des Enzyms AMPK, die Regulation des Glukosestoffwechsels sowie die Frage, welche Effekte auf Prädiabetes, Typ 2 Diabetes und Fettstoffwechsel heute tatsächlich durch Studien gestützt werden und wo die Evidenz noch begrenzt ist. Außerdem geht es um die geringe Bioverfügbarkeit von Berberin, mögliche Einsatzgebiete bei Insulinresistenz und metabolischem Syndrom sowie um aktuelle Forschung zu Darmmikrobiom, Fettleber und Healthy Aging. Denn immer deutlicher zeigt sich: Hinter Themen wie Blutzucker, Gewichtsregulation oder Cholesterin stehen keine isolierten Prozesse, sondern Milliarden von Zellen, die ihren Energiehaushalt permanent neu organisieren. Genau dieses biologische Zusammenspiel besser zu verstehen, ist der Schlüssel zu einem besseren Verständnis unseres Stoffwechsels. HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

The Truth About Weight Loss, Hormones, and Reintroducing Carbs (Perimenopause-Friendly)Sarah Kleiner answers common questions about carbohydrates, arguing that blaming carbs alone for diabetes and weight gain is shortsighted and ignores lifestyle and environmental factors like circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep, and grounding. She shares her experience with long-term carb restriction leading to low T3, hormone issues, worsened metabolic health, and weight gain, and explains how adding back healthy carbs has helped many clients—especially perimenopausal and menopausal women—sleep better and lose weight. She distinguishes whole-food carbs from processed versions (e.g., potato vs. chips), discusses carb timing and insulin sensitivity, explains individualized carb needs, and addresses glycation, AGEs, oxidative stress, and deuterium through a “terrain/mitochondria” lens.

It started with a simple question — does intermittent fasting live up to the hype?Ken and Graham both have opinions. And as usual, those opinions don't fully line up.Ken makes the case that the real benefits of intermittent fasting don't kick in until you hit that 16 to 18 hour window — and that for diabetics specifically, the morning hours are full of landmines that can derail a fast before it even gets started. Blood sugar drops during a morning workout, coffee, treating a low — any of these technically breaks the fast and changes the equation entirely.Graham takes a different angle. He's not opposed to intermittent fasting in theory, but his relationship with food goes far deeper than timing windows and eating schedules. And that's where the conversation takes a turn nobody saw coming.What starts as a nutrition debate evolves into one of the most honest conversations Ken and Graham have had about food, culture, identity, and how the way you were raised shapes everything about how you eat — including how you manage your blood sugar. Graham introduces a phrase that might just end up on a t-shirt — TFD for life — and explains what it means to live with a diabetes philosophy that was forged not just by medical advice, but by culture, family, and lived experience.This one goes places. And it's better for it.

REPLAY! Bariatric surgery is the most effective tool for lasting weight loss, and her experience performing thousands of procedures has given Dr. Betsy Dovec a clear understanding of what can help patients succeed.In this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Dr. Dovec, a top female bariatric surgeon and founder of BodyByBariatrics, to break down the decision between bariatric surgery vs GLP-1 medications from the perspective of someone who treats patients with both options every day. Dr. Dovec explains what gastric bypass surgery involves, why some patients go home the same day, and who may be an ideal candidate.The conversation then turns to GLP-1 weight loss medications. Amy and Dr. Dovec compare Ozempic and Zepbound, the often-overlooked side effects, and explain why weight regain is common after patients stop taking these medications. Dr. Dovec also shares why some post-surgery patients respond well to GLP-1 medications and how the combination may help support their long-term results.For women in midlife, this episode examines how GLP-1 medications may fit into treatment for weight gain during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Dovec explains why the habits you once relied on may become less effective as your hormones shift. She also discusses the health risks associated with visceral fat and the potential role of GLP-1 treatment in reducing the internal fat linked to heart attacks, strokes, and fatty liver disease.If you have tried every diet and still feel stuck, this conversation about bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications offers a clearer framework for understanding your options.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Betsy Dovec01:28 What Gastric Bypass Surgery Actually Involves04:55 Who Qualifies as a Bariatric Surgery Candidate06:30 Bariatric Surgery vs GLP-1 for Long-Term Success09:37 Why GLP-1 Medications Are a Hot Topic10:57 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Dosing Explained13:34 Same Drug Different Label for Diabetes and Weight Loss15:54 Oral GLP-1 Pills and What Comes Next17:25 Brand-Name vs. Compounded GLP-1 Medications21:13 GLP-1 Benefits During Perimenopause and Menopause23:13 Breaking the Stigma Around GLP-1 Use27:26 Visceral Fat Differences in Men and Women30:55 Sugar, Fatty Liver, and Visceral Fat Risks32:56 How Surgery and GLP-1 Both Reduce Visceral Fat36:40 Inside the OR Surgery Time and Recovery38:38 Dr. Dovec's Beauty and Self-Care Routine48:07 Where to Find Dr. Betsy DovecConnect with Dr. Betsy Dovec:Follow Dr. Dovec on InstagramVisit the BodyByBariatrics WebsiteFollow BodyByBariatrics on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In the biotech industry, advancing cell-based therapies is not just about innovation. It's about solving real gaps where conventional treatments fall short, especially against complex, aggressive tumors.In this episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, host David Brühlmann welcomes Jun Yung Woo, Co-Founder of AGEM Bio, who offers an in-depth look at the science and strategy behind engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with a focus on why glioblastoma is the right proving ground for the platform.Topics discussed:Why glioblastoma is the right Phase I indication: infiltrative growth, immunosuppression, and STING pathway deficiencies that make GBM uniquely suited to the platform (02:43)The surgical workflow: intracavity MSC delivery during tumor resection, oral 5-FC administration, and how engineered cells act as local bioreactors in the resection cavity (04:05)Mechanisms by which engineered MSCs target heterogeneous and invasive tumors through shared vulnerabilities rather than antigen recognition (05:58)Overcoming immune rejection with allogeneic therapies and the unique immunological profile of MSCs (07:32)Manufacturing and scale-up: addressing donor variability, GMP production, and building a reproducible process (09:16)Why GMP manufacturing should be designed in from the earliest stages of research (10:50)Beyond glioblastoma: expanding the platform to other solid tumors, regenerative medicine, and chronic inflammatory disease (11:27)Strategies for international trial expansion and partnerships beyond Singapore (12:41)Reframing MSCs from stem cell therapy to programmable delivery platform: the MSC 2.0 thesis (14:10)Smart insight: The shift Jun Yung articulates is from treating stem cells as the therapy to treating them as programmable therapeutic vehicles. Once you can reliably engineer, manufacture, and preserve their function, the limitation is no longer what the cell naturally does. It becomes what biology you can encode into it. Glioblastoma is the proving ground, and the platform's reach extends to liver cancers, sarcomas, peritoneal malignancies, and chronic inflammatory disease.These episodes expand on the same themes of MSC biology, cell engineering, and the challenges of scaling consistent, functional cell therapies:Episodes 179 - 180 : How Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Transforming Care for Diabetes and Autoimmune Diseases with Lindsay DaviesEpisodes 253 - 254: How to Source, Manufacture, and Scale the Earliest Stem Cells for Allogeneic Cell Therapy Without Ethical Barriers with Yuta LeeEpisodes 125 - 126: How to Enhance Cell Engineering Using Mechanical Intracellular Delivery with Armon ShareiEpisodes 129 - 130: Revolutionizing Cell Therapy Manufacturing: Reducing Costs to Reach More Patients with Jason FosterConnect with Jun Yung Woo:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/junyungwooAGEM Bio website: www.agem.bioEmail: yung@agem.bioSupport the show

Send us Fan MailBlood-brain barrier as a dynamic interface allowing selective passage of nutrients, peptides, and gut hormones.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Blood-Brain Barrier Structure: Capillary endothelial cells with tight junctions, absent fenestrae, and minimal vesicles create a selective interface; supported by astrocytes and pericytes.Crossing Mechanisms: Lipid-soluble small molecules diffuse passively; glucose, amino acids, and regulatory peptides use saturable transporters whose rates vary by need.Peptide Transport: Many peptides cross via lipid solubility or specific transporters; rate, not all-or-none presence, determines biological relevance; efflux systems remove some (e.g. certain enkephalins).Dynamic Regulation: Transporters for leptin and insulin are modulated by epinephrine, triglycerides, and brain demand; changes occur in aging and Alzheimer's (reduced glucose uptake, impaired Aβ efflux).Circumventricular Organs: Leaky capillary regions allow rapid sampling of blood signals while tanycytes limit spread to surrounding brain tissue.Drug Delivery Challenges: Small lipid-soluble drugs, barrier disruption (e.g. focused ultrasound), and “Trojan-horse” strategies each have limitations; intranasal delivery shows rapid brain distribution.Peptides & Brain Effects: Gut peptides like GLP-1 analogs, insulin, and ghrelin influence cognition and memory; brain entry predicts central effects.GUEST: William Banks, MD is a physician-scientist and leading researcher on the blood-brain barrier. He has focused on humoral brain-body communication, peptide transport, and the barrier's role in health and disease.RELATED CONTENT:M&M 298 | GLP-1s & Novel Peptides in Obesity, Diabetes & Metabolic Health | Katrin SvenssonSupport the showSupport my work:Good Chemistry: Personalized, science-based health consulting.

Your patient brushes well, avoids sweets — and still keeps getting decay. What if the answer isn't in their mouth at all? What if two inexpensive finger-prick tests told you more about a patient's gum disease and implant prognosis than anything on the radiograph? And here's the uncomfortable one: if the science is this clear, is not checking starting to look like a medico-legal risk? Especially for imlpant surgery! This is a conversation with Dr Tif Qureshi — the dentist who changed how the profession thinks about the lifelong patient, the envelope of function, and Align, Bleach, Bond. He's gone down a new rabbit hole: metabolic health. In general practice he's now doing blood tests — HbA1c and vitamin D — and making the case that the mouth isn't connected to the body, it is the body. This isn't about becoming a “biological dentist” (as you'll hear, Tif is refreshingly blunt about the wilder end of that world). It's about respecting the biology, screening sensibly, and helping patients where we're genuinely placed to help. https://youtu.be/mt1MXLFCTp0 Watch PDP275 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Test Yourself First Before you even think about introducing blood tests for your patients, ask whether you're checking your own biomarkers at a sensible interval. The deepest way to understand this topic is to learn it on yourself and your family first — run your own HbA1c, vitamin D, iron, and liver and kidney markers, and see what the data tells you. Start quarterly, like hygienist visits, then stretch to six-monthly or annual once things look good. Getting invested in your own numbers is what makes better food and lifestyle choices actually stick — and it's the honest starting point for ever offering this to a patient. What You'll Take From This Episode The metabolic lens — why one disordered glucose-and-insulin system sits under so much chronic and dental disease, and why dentistry is well placed to act on it. Sugar, redefined — why patients who avoid sweets still get decay, and how frequency of starchy carbs drives the problem. The two biomarkers that matter most — what HbA1c and vitamin D each tell you about caries, perio and healing. How to run it in practice — finger-prick logistics, what to test, and how to raise it on the medical history form. The medico-legal case — why documenting these markers can protect you before implant, graft and perio work.

What if the answer to solid tumor therapy isn't about making immune cells smarter—but about rethinking what a therapeutic cell can do For years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have turned heads for their ability to home in on damaged tissue, yet their clinical utility has lagged behind the hype. What would it take to transform MSCs from passive healers into precision vehicles for next-generation cancer treatment?This week, David Brühlmann sits down with Jun Yung Woo, Co-Founder of AGEM Bio, who's devoted nearly two decades to decoding and reimagining the potential of MSCs. From engineering stress-resilient cells to pioneering dual-payload therapeutic platforms, Jun Yung Woo bridges fundamental biology and real-world clinical translation.Topics discussed:The case for understanding cell biology before focusing on process scale-up in bioprocessing (02:38)Jun Yung Woo's personal and scientific journey toward developing engineered MSC therapeutics (04:36)How MSCs sense their environment and exert therapeutic effects via secreted factors, rather than tissue replacement (08:28)Key differences between MSC therapies and immune cell therapies like CAR T cells (10:35)Overview of non-viral engineering platforms, and the importance of intracellular trafficking for modifying MSCs (12:23)Design of AGEM Bio's dual-payload MSC product (cytosine deaminase and interferon beta) to induce highly localized tumor stress and immune activation (14:10)Strategies for controlling MSC targeting and minimizing off-target effects, including the use of prodrug activation and localized cell delivery (17:23)Study results from treating companion animals with engineered MSCs, and observations of tumor regression and possible signs of immune memory (20:29)Open questions about the durability of antitumor responses and future directions for clinical research (22:34)Smart insight: Jun Yung Woo challenges the rush toward bioprocess scale-up, arguing that a deeper understanding of cellular biology should come before manufacturing cells at scale. This episode explores how scaling the wrong biology can derail entire therapeutic platforms—and why aligning process development with cellular function may be critical for clinical success.These episodes expand on the same themes of MSC biology, cell engineering, and the challenges of scaling consistent, functional cell therapies:Episodes 179 - 180 : How Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Are Transforming Care for Diabetes and Autoimmune Diseases with Lindsay DaviesEpisodes 253 - 254: How to Source, Manufacture, and Scale the Earliest Stem Cells for Allogeneic Cell Therapy Without Ethical Barriers with Yuta LeeEpisodes 125 - 126: How to Enhance Cell Engineering Using Mechanical Intracellular Delivery with Armon ShareiEpisodes 129 - 130: Revolutionizing Cell Therapy Manufacturing: Reducing Costs to Reach More Patients with Jason FosterConnect with Jun Yung Woo:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/junyungwooAGEM Bio website: www.agem.bioEmail: yung@agem.bioSupport the show

It started as a straightforward question — what are three things you do consistently well as a diabetic, and three things you wish you did better?Ken leads with pre-bolusing — the timing of insulin before meals — and makes the case that it is arguably the single most important habit in Type 1 Diabetes management outside of taking the correct amount of insulin.What follows is over 50 minutes of two people who genuinely respect each other but see diabetes management, coaching philosophy, personal accountability, and what it means to THRIVE with this condition through completely different lenses. The conversation gets heated and their views clash like thunder across the diabetes community. They debate weight management and whether the number on the scale actually matters. They get into what real consistency looks like — and why it's far easier to talk about than to actually take action. They disagree on how hard truths should be delivered and whether compassion or directness is the more powerful tool.Ken and Graham's different personalities, values, and philosophies collide like never before — raw, real, and unlike anything they've recorded before.

There's Power In The Name Of Jesus Acts Chapter 8

In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben and Giacomo sit down with Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, co-founder of Mastering Diabetes, to unpack the science behind insulin resistance, diabetes, and long-term metabolic health. Cyrus shares his own journey living with type 1 diabetes and explains why his diagnosis ultimately led him to dedicate his career to researching nutrition and helping others improve their health through a whole food plant-based diet.The conversation explores the differences between type 1, type 2, prediabetes, and insulin resistance, while breaking down why skeletal muscle plays such a powerful role in blood sugar regulation. Cyrus discusses the relationship between saturated fat, carbohydrate metabolism, and insulin sensitivity, addresses common misconceptions surrounding keto and carnivore diets, and explains why exercise and nutrition work together to improve metabolic health. The episode also covers GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, discussing where these drugs may be appropriate, where they may fall short, and why lasting lifestyle change remains essential for long-term success.

A World Of Silence: Navigating Infant Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implants The ability to listen is the very first skill we develop in the womb, and it's crucial for cognitive growth.

(A note before we get into it: this article is educational, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before making major changes to your diet — especially if you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, take blood-sugar medication, are pregnant or nursing, or are managing any chronic condition. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.)Research shows well-built plant-based diets usually lower blood sugar. If yours moved the other way, one of six silent glucose traps is almost always the reason — and every one of them is fixable.TLDR* The research is actually on vegetarianism's side. Large reviews of clinical trials show vegetarian and vegan diets tend to lower A1C, not raise it.* So if your numbers went up, something in how the diet was built is the real cause — not the fact that it's plant-based.* Six usual suspects: too little protein, “naked” carbs with no brakes, shrinking muscle mass, too much fermentable fiber too fast, high stress/cortisol, and late-night eating.* Each one is a fixable habit, not a reason to abandon vegetarianism.Wait — Doesn't “Plant-Based” Mean Healthier Blood Sugar?Usually, yes. When researchers actually put vegetarian diets to the test in clinical trials, the pattern is consistent: people following them tend to see their A1C go down, not up. A meta-analysis pooling multiple randomized trials found vegetarian diets were linked to a meaningful drop in A1C, and a separate meta-analysis of nine trials found a similar reduction — enough that it would be considered clinically significant by the FDA's own bar for new diabetes drugs.So if you switched to vegetarian eating and your last lab draw came back worse, I want to be straight with you: that's not the expected outcome, and it's not “just what happens” when you cut out meat. Something specific is working against you. The good news is that it's almost always one of a handful of well-understood mechanisms — and once you know which one, it's a quick fix, not a diet overhaul.Think of it like this: a car engine doesn't run worse because you switched to a different brand of gas. It runs worse because something specific — a clogged filter, bad timing, low oil — is getting in the way. Same idea here. Let's go through the six most common “clogs.”THRIVE 120 - TriplePlayDoc is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.1. The Protein Drop You Didn't NoticeThis is the single most common one. When people cut out meat, they usually don't replace that protein gram-for-gram with plant protein — they replace it with more carbs, because carbs are what fill the plate: extra rice, extra bread, extra pasta.Here's why that matters for blood sugar specifically. Protein eaten alongside carbohydrate isn't just “extra food” — it changes how your body handles the carbs. A meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials found that adding protein to a carb-containing meal meaningfully lowers the post-meal glucose spike, largely by boosting the insulin response that clears sugar out of the bloodstream faster. Pull protein out of the meal and carbs hit your blood essentially unguarded.Think of protein as the brakes on a sugar rollercoaster. Take the brakes off, and the same carbs you were eating before now send your blood sugar higher and faster than they used to.2. Naked Carbs, No BrakesThis is the same problem from a different angle: oatmeal for breakfast, a rice bowl for lunch, a smoothie for a snack. All reasonable foods — but if none of them are paired with enough protein or fat, and you're not about to go move that sugar with a workout, it hits your bloodstream as a fast, unbuffered spike. Your body answers with a bigger insulin surge, and doing that meal after meal, day after day, is exactly the pattern linked to declining insulin sensitivity over time.3. The Muscle FactorThis one surprises people: your muscles are the biggest “storage tank” for the sugar you eat. After a meal, skeletal muscle soaks up roughly 70–80% of the glucose that comes out of your bloodstream, using it to refill glycogen stores. Researchers who study this consider muscle glucose uptake the single biggest lever on whole-body insulin sensitivity.So when protein intake drops and resistance training isn't part of the picture, muscle mass tends to shrink over time — and that storage tank gets smaller. Less tank space means the same meal now leaves more sugar circulating in your blood for longer, which shows up as a slow, creeping rise in A1C.Muscle is basically your body's biggest gas tank for sugar. Shrink the tank, and the same fill-up overflows.4. High Fiber, High StressFiber itself is not the villain here — in fact, the right kind of fiber is one of the best tools for blood sugar control. Viscous, soluble fibers (found in oats, beans, and psyllium) form a gel in your gut that physically slows down how fast sugar gets absorbed, and trials show this type of fiber measurably lowers both A1C and fasting blood sugar.The issue is a different kind of fiber problem: volume and speed. Vegetarian diets are often naturally high in fermentable fiber — beans, lentils, certain grains — and when your gut bacteria break that fiber down, the fermentation process produces gas as a byproduct. Ramp up fiber intake quickly, especially the fast-fermenting kinds, and you can outpace your gut's ability to comfortably process it, leading to bloating and discomfort. That physical stress on your body, especially combined with everyday life stress, triggers cortisol release — and cortisol has a direct, well-documented job of raising blood glucose by signaling your liver to make more sugar and by making your cells less responsive to insulin.Think of fiber fermentation like a construction project in your gut. The building itself (your microbiome) benefits — but a project moving too fast kicks up a lot of dust (gas and bloating) along the way.5. Timing and Circadian RhythmsThe lifestyle shift that often comes with going vegetarian — more grazing, more small meals, more snacking — can quietly push more of your eating into the evening. That timing matters more than most people realize. Multiple studies using identical meals given at different times of day have found that the exact same meal produces a bigger blood sugar spike at night than it does in the morning, because your insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function both naturally dip in the evening. One study even found a late meal after 8pm was independently linked to worse A1C.Your body runs on a work shift for carbs. The day shift (morning, early afternoon) handles them efficiently. The night shift is running on a skeleton crew — the same carb load left unprocessed for longer, working against you while you sleep.6. Cortisol: The Common ThreadYou'll notice cortisol keeps coming up — that's not a coincidence. Cortisol's actual job during stress is to make more glucose available fast, by triggering your liver to produce it and by directly blunting how well your cells respond to insulin. Whether the stressor is emotional (a hard week at work) or physical (a gut that's working overtime to ferment more fiber than it's used to, or a body that's lost muscle mass and is struggling to regulate blood sugar as efficiently), the hormonal response is the same: more sugar released, less efficiently cleared.Who's Most Likely to Notice This?Not everyone who goes vegetarian sees their A1C move. The people most likely to notice these effects are those who already have some combination of insulin resistance, chronic stress, poor sleep, low muscle mass, or a sensitive gut. For them, a vegetarian diet doesn't cause the problem — it tends to reveal a metabolic bottleneck that was already there, quietly, underneath a different diet.This isn't a case against vegetarian eating. The clinical research is genuinely favorable toward it. It's a case for building it correctly — with enough protein, the right kind and pace of fiber, resistance training to protect muscle, and carbs eaten earlier in the day, paired with something that slows them down.Six Bottlenecks at a GlanceThe Bottom LineThe question was never really “is vegetarianism good or bad for blood sugar?” — the research says it's generally good when it's built well. The real question is: what's your body's current metabolic bottleneck? Is it protein? Muscle? Fiber pacing? Timing? Stress? Most people are dealing with one or two of these more than the others, and once you know which, the fix is usually a small, specific adjustment — not throwing out the diet.The goal isn't just to tweak what's on your plate. It's to find the actual thing standing between you and the results you were expecting when you made this change in the first place.References* Vegetarian and Vegan Dietary Patterns to Treat Adult Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCTs — ScienceDirect: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2161831324001285* Vegetarian diets and glycemic control in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis — PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25414824/* The Effect of Adding Protein to a Carbohydrate Meal on Postprandial Glucose and Insulin Responses: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis — ScienceDirect: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022316624003924* The Role of Skeletal Muscle Glycogen Breakdown for Regulation of Insulin Sensitivity by Exercise — Frontiers in Physiology: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physiology/articles/10.3389/fphys.2011.00112/full* Glucose Uptake by Skeletal Muscle within the Contexts of Type 2 Diabetes and Exercise — MDPI/Nutrients: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/3/647* Effect of viscous soluble dietary fiber on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM: systematic review and meta-analysis — PMC: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10500602/* Dietary fiber in irritable bowel syndrome (fermentation and gas production) — PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5548066/* Fibre, fermentation, FODMAPs and flatulence — Quadram Institute: https://quadram.ac.uk/blogs/fibre-fermentation-fodmaps-and-flatulence/* Physiology, Cortisol — StatPearls, NCBI Bookshelf: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538239/* Endogenous circadian system and circadian misalignment impact glucose tolerance via separate mechanisms in humans — PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1418955112* Impact of circadian disruption on glucose metabolism: implications for type 2 diabetes — Diabetologia/PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7002226/* Chronotype, Chrononutrition and Glucose Tolerance Among Prediabetic Individuals (late-dinner/A1C link): https://cdn.clinicaltrials.gov/large-docs/64/NCT05163964/Prot_SAP_ICF_004.pdfTHRIVE 120 - TriplePlayDoc is a reader-supported publication.
