What if you could have your cake, eat it—AND keep your blood sugar stable all in the same sitting? I know it sounds impossible, especially if you're feeling stuck in a never-ending loop of energy crashes and cravings.  But trust me—there's a way to make it work! And today, we're going to show you how. In this episode, Kara Collier, co-founder of NutriSense, Registered Dietitian (RD), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC), joins me to break down the real-life power of using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). She'll walk you, step-by-step, through the BEST way to track how your body handles food, movement, stress, and even those occasional sugar slips.  You'll learn how to use this simple metabolism-saving tool to turn daily habits like a quick walk or late breakfast into powerful strategies for boosting your energy, shedding unwanted weight and belly fat, and even reducing your risk of chronic disease.  If you've been wanting to feel more in control of your body AND use your meals to create lasting energy and resilience… This is the episode you've been waiting for! Tune in and get ready to transform your metabolism into an energy-producing, fat-melting powerhouse.  IN THIS EPISODE Discover how Kara uses CGMs to track food, movement, and even occasional treats like chocolate-covered pretzels. Learn why a quick burst of movement, like jump squats with your kids, can dramatically lower your glucose levels. Find out how stress, poor sleep, and late-night snacks can spike your blood sugar—and how to fix it. Get practical tips for timing meals to improve energy and reduce glucose spikes. Explore how hormonal shifts in midlife affect your metabolism—and what you can do to stay balanced. And more!  QUOTES "Any type of movement can really help your metabolic health and glucose control. So it can be really simple things... squats, walks, just moving throughout the day makes a huge impact."  "When we're eating meals, we want to see how high your glucose goes and how quickly it comes back down to baseline. That's really what you want to pay attention to."  "You can literally have your cake and eat it too. You just need to be mindful—whether it's with movement before or after, or adjusting your meal slightly, the flexibility is there." "Often, people think, 'I'll never eat cake again.' But actually, using tools like a CGM gives you the freedom to find what works for your body, instead of restricting everything."  RESOURCES MENTIONED NutriSense – Learn more about continuous glucose monitoring Kara Collier's Instagram: @KaraCollierRD RELATED EPISODES  #603: Embracing Womanhood, Cultivating Deep Connection and Nourishing Your Body to Metabolically Thrive with Dr. Mindy Pelz #602: The Right and Wrong Way to Lose Weight + Overcoming Panic Attacks by Feeling Safe in Your Body with Michelle Shapiro #601: The Food You Eat Will Impact Your Menopause Journey + Foods to Ease Menopause and Promote Longevity with Dr. Federica Amati #555: The Root Cause of Inflammatory Diseases and How To Get Metabolically Fit with Dr. Casey Means Learn more about your ad choices.

Kara Collier, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Co-Founder of NutriSense, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 676, to discuss the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food, using technology like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to better understand your body's signals, and why mindfulness, compassion, and balance are essential for long-term nutritional and emotional well-being. "When we are given a prescriptive diet and follow this one exact thing, it's really hard for many of us to actually stick to that long term. But when we see our personal data and how our body responds, it's much more meaningful and it's a lot more sustainable long term." - Kara Collier $50 Off NutriSense The Nutrisense CGM Program pairs powerful data and expert guidance to set you on the path to improved metabolic health.

SAVE $50 OFF SUBSCRIPTIONS In This Episode, Kara Collier Uncovers: [01:30] Healthy Nutrition Mindset Kara Collier NutriSense 397 Kara Collier | How To Stop Eating Sugar: The CGM Solution & NutriSense What inspired Kara to become a nutritionist. Why the "clear your plate" mentality doesn't help children have a healthy approach to food. How attaching 'good' and 'bad' labels to foods creates a feeling of punishment or reward. We should educate children about how food benefits us and where it comes from. [07:35] How to Teach Children About Nutrition How parents can teach their children about healthy eating. Why we don't listen to the natural signals of our bodies. Restrictive diets are often unhealthy. [12:05] NutriSense Technology Why most people don't realize when their glucose level drops or spikes. How NutriSense technology helps people understand their body signals. Why instant data aids us to enhance our intuition and motivate us. [16:50] Modern Lifestyle Works Against Human Biology Why we need technology for health optimization. How the vast majority of people can benefit from using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Why we're biologically driven to not spend energy. How the food system works against the human biology. Why our modern lifestyle makes it difficult for us to live healthy. [23:35] Continuous Glucose Monitoring Wired to Eat by Rob Wolf How Josh found out what foods are not good for him through data tracking. Everyone is a unique individual and reacts differently to different foods. How mindfulness around food helps us make empowered choices. Why following our own data is more sustainable long-term than following a specific diet. [28:40] Nutrient Timing 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 How exercise can improve glucose levels and metabolic health. We store glucose molecules in our skeleton muscles as glycogen. How regular exercise creates better communication patterns within the body. [33:05] Understanding Glucose How intense exercise like CrossFit creates a glucose spike to create energy. Why consistency ensures the best results. Early stages of insulin resistance start in the muscle. The importance of strength training. [37:05] Is Fruit Healthy? How lactic acid is produced in the muscles. Why juicing fruit and eating too much fruit can be bad for us. Pairing fruit with protein and fat after a workout. How misinformation is being spread on social media. [41:00] Orthorexia: How to Live in Harmony with Food How Josh struggled with overeating and starving himself when he was younger. Why we need to develop a long-term healthy relationship with food. How CGM helped Kara with mental blocks around food. We can take healthy eating to the extreme and develop Orthorexia. How Kara was chasing the dopamine reward through food. [47:10] Finding Compassion for Yourself Our relationship to food can hold an emotional connection to our childhood. Why we first shame ourselves before we understand where we are coming from. How increasing our awareness creates an agency of choice. [51:30] How to Cultivate Awareness We have to train the mind to achieve a sustainable behavior change. How we're lacking good quality information. Everyone has the potential to gain awareness and make healthier choices for themselves. How habits become part of our identity. [58:20] Healing from Perfectionism How striving for perfection hurts us. Why NutriSense has a team of professionals who help clients optimize their eating habits. Behind perfectionism is fear. Why we need consistency more than perfection. The "all or nothing" mindset doesn't get us anywhere. [01:06:20] Food Healing Journey Why having support from friends and family has helped Kara on her health journey. Vulnerability opens up the door to healing. How emotional support is what patients need to create a positive and long-term change. [01:11:05] All or Nothing? The bridge between knowing and doing. Why rigidity and extreme discipline stop us from success. We shouldn't feel like a failure when we don't stick to our regime. How extreme ownership creates responsibility. Why people get stuck in the negative loop of guilt and shame. [01:19:10] Path of Purpose Why some men need tough discipline to start their journey of evolution. Having purpose and passion is a key component of wellness. Why Kara enjoys learning new skills and challenging herself. 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

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.

In this episode we're talking specifically in regards to glucose. You don't care a bit about glucose, in and of itself. What you care about is your body's reaction to your food and lifestyle choices and resulting energy levels and clarity. And that's the point, your body does react to what you eat and how you live, but it's incredibly complex to understand the correlations. Unless, you are wearing a CGM…continual glucose monitor. This is new technology. If you're aware of them, you probably associate them with diabetics. Not anymore, and you're about to be schooled in some new hope. My expert on this topic and tech is Kara Collier. Kara is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) specializing in glucose control and metabolism. And she's the the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America's fastest-growing health-tech startups. I've been wearing a CGM from Nutrisense. And folks, this is not an ad. No money has exchanged between us…not that I'd be against it, but my motive here is helping myself, and you, with new opportunities to monitor, understand, and increase our health and wellness.

Join me in this captivating episode as we explore the world of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and its profound impact on health optimization. I am thrilled to be joined by Kara Collier, a Registered Dietitian and the Director of Nutrition at NutriSense, who is a leading authority on CGM technology. Kara explains why high-energy exercises like weightlifting or HIIT can cause glucose spikes due to increased energy demands, and why exercise spikes are different from those caused by sugary foods. We also discuss how steady-state cardio and gentle walks can help lower glucose levels. To improve your overall health, we examine three key factors that affect blood sugar and discuss the importance of optimal glucose metabolism, plus how fluctuations in glucose are more important indicators of cardiovascular health than average blood-sugar levels alone.  You'll learn about the transformative power of continuous glucose monitoring to gain insights that can revolutionize your well-being.

Something like needing an urgent leg amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes or needing to be put on dialysis because of uncontrolled cardiovascular disease. These were the types of instances I was seeing over and over and that experience led to some frustrations wishing I could help people sooner so they never had to end up there in the first place.” “Just like a car has an engine that interacts with many different components of the car to run it, we have a similar cellular engine and that would be considered metabolic health as a whole.” “It's not that we never have our glucose move, it's just that we want to keep it in these  healthy ranges and we don't want to overload those places where glucose can go.” “If somebody is relatively healthy, their metabolic health looks good overall but their fasted glucose level is always high, typically the #1 thing that's happening is chronic stress.” “With nutrition specifically, the framework we try to teach people is: master the basics, understand the fundamentals that everyone should be doing and then be malleable and empirical. Be willing to be flexible in your approach based off of your own personalized data because we all are unique.” “About the worst thing that you could do for your glucose levels is a liquid form of sugar.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Kara:InstagramLinkedInNutrisense

In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin speak with Kara Collier, co-founder of Nutrisense, about combining the use of continuous glucose monitors and expert coaching to maximize fat loss.

In today's episode, we'll be discussing a topic that is becoming increasingly important for athletes of all levels: continuous glucose monitoring. For years, endurance athletes have relied on carbohydrates as a primary source of fuel during long runs, races, and training sessions. But what if you could track your glucose levels in real-time to optimize your performance and avoid hitting the dreaded "wall"? That's where continuous glucose monitoring comes in. By wearing a small device that measures glucose levels in interstitial fluid, endurance athletes can gain valuable insights into their body's response to different types of fuel, exercise intensity, and even stress levels. This information can help you make more informed decisions about your nutrition, training, and recovery, leading to better performance and fewer setbacks. In this episode, we'll hear from Kara Collier, co-founder and VP of Health and Chief Dietician at Nutrisense, in the field of continuous glucose monitoring and endurance sports, who will share her insights and experiences with this exciting technology. We'll discuss how to interpret glucose data, how to adjust your nutrition and training based on your readings, and how continuous glucose monitoring can help you reach your endurance goals.

Today I am grateful to have Kara Collier, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN), and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC) with me for an informative podcast session.  Collier specialises in glucose control and metabolism and has graduated from Purdue University. She is an incredibly talented health professional who has joined us on some of our first few podcasts. Currently, she is conducting research alongside some partners to investigate why so many Americans today are living unhealthy lives, suffering from poor metabolic health and the role lifestyle choices play in aggravating health problems.  Approximately 90% of Americans today are not metabolically healthy based on the results of standardized metabolic testing systems such as the assessment of glucose levels and fasting blood sugar values. So, in this episode today we will be exploring the ‘why' element behind these troubling statistics. Dr. Kara Collier will also be sharing some important and impactful practices that can be adopted in our everyday lives that can lay down the foundation for good metabolic functioning and a healthy life.  Tune in as we touch up on some topics that require urgent addressing and get better insights into how your body works and the role you can play in improving its functioning.  Get your Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitor Here www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

But this factor does not contribute to the problem on its own. We also have an issue of decreased insulin sensitivity. A problem in which cells do not respond well to insulin signalling. Hyperinsulinemia and less sensitive cells both interact and contribute to insulin resistance.  The old tale of the boy who cried wolf explains a lot about hyperinsulinemia because hyperinsulinemia is just like crying out loud more than you need to, to such an extent that people just start ignoring the message! Likewise, the constant overstimulation of insulin makes the cells less sensitive to insulin. These two changes are the key drivers behind this insulin resistance problem and can result in extreme forms of metabolic dysfunction such as diabetes. The human body is extremely complex which means that it is difficult to establish cause-and-effect relationships where one factor is directly responsible for bringing about a given set of changes. Likewise, with problems related to metabolic health, there are often multiple factors working collectively to bring about a certain change.  Diseases stemming from metabolic issues are also an output of a build-up of decade-long problems for eg a patient only receives a diagnosis for type 2 diabetes, it is estimated that 60 to 70% of our beta cells which produce insulin are damaged beyond repair! Poorly regulated insulin levels could be a consequence of a poorly balanced diet featuring high carbohydrate intake, more than required sugar, and in general low nutrient density and high energy consumption. Eating around the clock and constantly keeping insulin-stimulated can be problematic as well. Similarly, chronic stress and poor sleep quality can disrupt the sensitivity of the cells to insulin as well. [9:57] Advice for people who have received some early signals of insulin-related issues Unhealthy habits and life practices can result in a metabolic breakdown, therefore it is important to come up with a healthier lifestyle. Reduce your Carbohydrates to limit insulin load. You can have about 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates for each meal. Focus on having nutrient-rich diets!. Exercise is great, especially weight lifting! [14:25] Insulin response: Protein VS Carbohydrate Protein can trigger an insulin response in some individuals but it is not the same as the one triggered by carbohydrates. With carbohydrates it can become extremely challenging to normalise glucose levels  [27:19} Is glucose never exceeding 90 a blessing or a problem in disguise? Keeping in mind the principles of metabolic flexibility, staying strictly below 90 can get problematic. It's not the end goal, having a balanced energy-efficient system is! [37:20] What is CGM? CGM stands for Continuous Glucose monitor. It is a small device that you put on your arm and leave it there for two full weeks to get a picture of your Glucose levels.  CGM can help you keep a check on and understand your body better Get your Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitor Here www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off Resources from this episode:  Get your Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitor Here www.nutrisense.io/ketokamp use the code BEN30 for $30 off Follow Kara Collier  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kara-collier-rdn-cnsc-52801a99/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/kara_collier1 Nutrisense Instagram: www.instagram.com/nutrisenseio  Join the Keto Kamp Academy http://www.ketokampacademy.com   Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

I set an intention before I talk to somebody about this and you kind of know professionally when someone wants to change. You need to ask them, 'Are you in the headspace right now to receive advice, or do you still just need to tell me what is going on, and do you just need support at this point in time?' When I've found them to be in a space where they are willing to receive and act upon advice, I do it in a very, very gentle way. I just say, 'Look, when you step out because I know you're just stuck in it and it might be harder to see the big picture and how it's effective, but this is not serving you. I know you have so much potential and if we could just change this one thing, I think it will help you make real progress.' - Autumn Smith Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Autumn also explores the incredible benefits of their Apple Cider Vinegar Complex, her own healing journey for greater wellness, and how ACV has transformed her health. What are common myths about Apple Cider Vinegar? Why is it actually magical for your daily health routine?   Discover how ACV can amp up your energy, help your weight loss goals, stabilize blood sugar, lower inflammation, and improve gut health all at the same time.   Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   Introducing a powerful organic blend of apple cider vinegar and four more gut & health supportive superfoods. Paleovalley Apple Cider Vinegar Complex is a powerful aid to get organic apple cider vinegar into your body faster, easier, and without having to tolerate the taste. Lower Blood Sugar Naturally Their Apple Cider Vinegar Complex also contains four additional superfoods shown to support gut health, inflammation reduction, weight loss, and blood sugar stabilization. Unlike other similar products, they use all organic ingredients in order to avoid the pesticides and herbicides so prevalent in our food system today. They use gentle processing in an effort to preserve as many of the unique and fragile nutrients found in apple cider vinegar and these other four superfoods as possible.   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley Save 15% with the code 'JOSH' PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

When you take it, it is going to promote not only blood sugar stability but it's also been shown to improve fat burning. The number one thing that I hear from people is that it takes away their cravings so you're using it in a beautiful, beautiful way that's going to help your relationship with food too. As the apple cider vinegar complex promotes satiety in your body; it makes you feel fuller longer. There's also research on how you can use it on the skin and its impact on cholesterol. The list goes on and on." - Autumn Smith Naturally Improve Blood Sugar "As a teenager, I would often be on this blood sugar roller coaster. At that time, I had no idea it was profoundly affecting my mood. Fortunately, I was able to stabilize that and once I started studying health, I realized unstable blood sugar will also actually increase your risk for pretty much every degenerative chronic disease possible. It can lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and even more. However, if you use apple cider vinegar or something similar to bring your blood sugar stability back to normal, you will have this incredible wealth of bandwidth all of a sudden. The benefits are so powerful; you will have more energy, vitality, and will even sleep better." - Autumn Smith Being One with Mother Earth "In our modern world, we think there's a pill for every ill but that's not the answer we should be looking for. Here at Paleovalley, our products like our Apple Cider Vinegar Complex and beef and turkey sticks are about sharing the beautiful wisdom that exists between nature and our bodies. Even though we have evolved using that intelligence, we have also become very disconnected from the planet. Our products like the ACV Complex focus on trying to help people come back to that. We look at the wisdom of Mother Earth and we just bring the highest quality ingredients from our planet into a version that people can use every day." - Autumn Smith Links From Today's Show  352 Autumn Smith: How To Heal Your Brain With Food  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex Paleovalley's Beef & Turkey Sticks The #1 Nutrient to Boost Your Mental Health 135 Autumn Smith: The Truth About Food And Mental Health ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley Paul Chek | All Is God 405 Tim Corcoran 384 Shawn Stevenson 364 Alison Armstrong 293 Dr. Jade Teta 397 Kara Collier 336 Joe Sheehey Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Paleovalley Instagram Facebook Twitter Autumn Smith Instagram Facebook About Autumn Smith Autumn Fladmo Smith has been a health enthusiast her entire life. She began her academic career with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in dance from the University of Montana. Upon graduation, Autumn danced professionally while becoming a certified yoga instructor.  Hoping to combine her love of dance with her passion for health, Autumn became a celebrity fitness trainer with Tracy Anderson, most notably completing a world tour with Jennifer Lopez. While working as a fitness trainer, Autumn could see that exercise alone was not enough for many of her clients to achieve the radiant health they worked so hard to achieve. Meanwhile, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and anxiety continued to plague her personal health, starting in adolescence. Autumn's Mission These frustrations further ignited her passion and interest in the study of holistic nutrition. Through self-guided research, she and her husband, Chas, healed her IBS with the paleo diet.  She then studied with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating to become a Certified Eating Psychology Coach and Hawthorn University where she obtained a Masters in Holistic Nutrition. In 2013, she founded Paleovalley with her husband and brother-in-law. Paleovalley's mission is to disseminate excellent nutritional information and organic food products with 100 million people worldwide. Autumn's commitment to health reached new heights last year following the birth of their son, Maverick.

The incredible level of physical, mental, and emotional health that Scott's grandfather still has at the age of 88 and why it inspires his wellness journey. Why he focuses on being part of work that helps people develop and age well throughout life. The difference between focusing on living a good health span rather than just longevity. Exploring how far we have come in the health and wellness tech space for healing the human body. The benefits of Hapbee and why it's essentially the "digital imprint of a drug." [14:00] How To Digitize A Drug The various emotional vibrations from the lowest at shame and the highest at enlightenment and love. How Scott's team formulated the Hapbee technology to quantify emotional intelligence. Which 8 current frequencies are available with the Hapbee device to boost your vibration. How Hapbee has been designed to be very safe especially when you consider all of the radiation our cell phones emit. The benefits of digitizing a drug compared to taking a physical drug and all of the issues that come along with it from side effects to high costs. 401 Jerry Ross Why people like Dr. Kenneth Ferguson who invented Cialis are now exploring how digitizing drugs can benefit the human body. How they used magnetometers to hear magnetic waves starting to come off of the molecules of a drug. What studies are currently being done to see how digitizing chemotherapy can help cancer patients but it could take a decade or more with all of the studies that need to be done. Which drugs they have begun digitizing and completing safety tests for including caffeine, nicotine, and even stimulants found in dark chocolate. 312 Kevin Kelly [27:30] Hapbee for Children & Pets Who Hapbee is for and how it can help them on their wellness journey. Dr. Steven Gundry The attention Hapbee is getting in the functional and holistic medicine world right now. Who should be careful with Hapbee including people that have a pacemaker or are pregnant yet Scott and his team have not seen any issues in their studies so far. The fact that many parents are having their children use Hapbee if they have ADHD, trouble sleeping, or do not want them to use pharmaceuticals. Positive behavior pet owners are experiencing when they wear the device and their pet comes and curls up next to them. [30:00] Quantifying Emotional Intelligence Exploring the study they have done on covalent and non-covalent bonds in the body. Breaking down the technology of Hapbee even further and how it's been designed to work with and aide your body.

BJ Fogg The Social Dilemma | Official Trailer | Netflix   Power Quotes From The Show   Game Over for Big Pharma "Everything from our cells to our neurons is connected through sound and frequency. So, we asked ourselves, 'What if we could digitize a drug?' If you take drugs, there's a chemical bound and the potential for side effects, toxicology issues addiction problems, and it's very expensive. If you can digitize it and remove any of the side effects, you can still give people the desired altered state that will help our lives move forward, to engage with other people, to focus more, to sleep better, and more. There's so many practical reasons and if you can digitize a drug, it's game over for Big Pharma." - Scott Donnell An All-In-One Support Tool "Hapbee is a tool and we're not going to fix everybody's problems but what we can do is be right there as a perfect assistant for you when you need it quickly.

I'm a big fan of blood sugar testing and this summer I spent a month using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) from a great company called Nutrisense. It actually changed my life. The CGM let me accurately see what's going on 24/7 and it was a major step up from the traditional finger-prick method. Today I'm sharing my experience with using the CGM and the co-founder of Nutrisense, Kara Collier, is here to share everything we need to know about our blood sugar. Kara Collier is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician with a background in clinical nutrition, nutrition technology, and entrepreneurship. After becoming frustrated with the traditional healthcare system, she helped start the company NutriSense where she is now the Director of Nutrition. Kara is the leading authority on the use of CGM technology, particularly in non-diabetics for the purposes of health optimization, disease prevention, and reversing metabolic dysfunction. Kara delivers some incredibly useful information on everything from how the stages of our menstrual cycle impact our blood sugar, to how CGMs work, what you should be aiming for in your blood sugar levels, and so much more!   To learn more visit https://nicolejardim.com/podcasts/blood-sugar-basics-how-to-test-using-a-continuous-glucose-monitor-kara-collier.

Regulation of blood sugar levels is a critical factor in managing PCOS.

Ben Azadi, FDN-P, is on a mission to help 1 billion people live a healthier lifestyle. Ben is the author of three best-selling books and has become a trusted resource on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. He is an advocate for investigating dysfunction and then educating, rather than medicating, to return the body to a state of health. Ben is also the host of the Keto Kamp Podcast and the creator of several online courses to help you build and achieve keto and intermittent fasting results that stick. On this podcast, Ben and I discuss the current state of keto and steps to take for those who want to improve their metabolic health.

She started her career in nutrition by working in the ICU. Many people came into the ICU for lifestyle-related chronic conditions. For instance, people would be in the ICU due to an urgent amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes. At the ICU, Kara would see really severe problems that could have been prevented in the first place. So, Kara wanted to catch these issues way earlier in a way that was meaningful. After discovering CGMs, Kara realized how powerful of a tool they are for multiple reasons: They give us continuous insight into our metabolic health. CGMs are motivating for people. Lastly, the data you receive is personalized and actually works!   [06:35] What You Need To Know Before Getting A CGM The CGM is a small device, about the size of a quarter. It's a medical device, so you need a prescription in order to receive it from your doctor. Sadly, they're most likely not going to do it unless you're a diabetic case. If you're generally a healthy person who wants to stay healthy, the chances of your doctor writing you a prescription is slim to none. The device goes on the back of the arm, you push the button, and it's in there. It uses a needle for insertion. The needle is removed, and the only thing that's left below the surface of your skin is a flexible microfilament. The devices are factory calibrated, so there's no blood needing to be drawn. [10:45] What Should Your Blood Glucose Levels Be? When you're thinking about fasting glucose, Kara recommends 70 to 90 range milligrams per deciliter. If you Google, “what's a healthy fasting glucose level?” It will probably tell you 70 to 100. There is research that indicates when we get to that 90 to 100 range, we're starting to see some increased risks. Shoot for 70 – 90 most of the time. After a meal, we want to see it returned back to baseline values, usually in that two-hour mark. Check how high your levels went after you ate – aim for 140 or less. On a keto diet, it shouldn't go above 120. [15:00] Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses And Non-Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses After Exercise Our glucose can spike, and our body can deal with that glucose spike without utilizing insulin. The spike we get from exercise happens after a very high-intensity workout, or you're doing something rather strenuous. It makes sense that you're going to have a glucose spike because your current supply of energy in the body is not enough to meet the demands that you're placing it under. With exercise, we're simulating stress hormones, but we're also breaking down glycogen stores. The exercise is demanding energy, and it's getting used right away. The reason your body is stimulating a glucose response with high-intensity exercise is that it needs it. [20:35] When You Are Chronically Sleep Deprived, You Will Have Higher Levels of Cortisol The Next Morning When we think about optimizing glucose values, we always talk about diet, exercise, stress, and sleep; they're equal components of the picture. Sleep is something we really have to pay attention to. Poor glucose levels will affect the quality of your sleep. Also, a bad night of sleep is definitely going to affect your glucose values the next day. [24:30] What Happens When You Break A Fast With A High Carbohydrate Meal There's a lot of psychology that goes on with fasting – people will have a cheat meal after fasting. When you do that, you ruin most of the benefits. If you break a fast with carbs, you can see glucose levels higher than they've ever been for two days straight. Eating carbs after a fast is not a good strategy. Instead, break a fast with protein. The longer the fast, the stricter you want to be. [26:40] Why You Should Go For A Walk After You Eat A Meal   Walking after a meal can really dramatically stabilize glucose values. Most of our circulating glucose in the system is going to get picked up by the skeletal muscle. Gently stimulating your muscles and moving can make a really big difference. Walking is also good for mental health and stress reduction. [28:30] Other Biohacks You Can Do To Decrease Glucose Levels Cold and heat exposure work in different ways. Both will lower glucose over time. Cold therapy will stimulate brown fat. When you're hot and sweating a lot, that might cause the glucose to be elevated during the sauna session, but it should lower glucose values overall later in the day. The benefits we get from exercising can be duplicated when we also are doing sauna therapy. In addition, berberine is the most beneficial supplement for lowering glucose values. Plus, apple cider vinegar will help lower glucose values. Try a little bit of vinegar with water before a meal. You can also drizzle it on a salad. [33:30] The Dawn Phenomenon: What You Can Do About It You're going to potentially see a little bit of a glucose bump in the early morning hours. For most people, that occurs between about 4 to 8 am. It's your body's natural alarm clock. For some people, when they first wake up, glucose levels are highest in the day. There is no evidence to suggest that this glucose bump is a bad thing. [45:25] What To Expect When Working With NutriSense When you join NutriSense, you'll receive a CGM.

Apple cider vinegar is going to promote blood sugar stability but also it's been shown to improve fat burning. The number one thing that I hear from people is that it takes away their cravings so you're using it in a beautiful, beautiful way. It promotes satiety; it makes you feel fuller longer.

They find that the people who have the most stable blood sugar actually live the longest lives. When I got married, I realized just how amazing life is and so I wanted to create a tonic that would help me promote longevity on a regular basis. So I found ingredients that would first of all help bring down inflammation naturally but also stabilize blood sugar because I know it's so important and so many people are lacking it. This search led me to apple cider vinegar and I was just blown away by it. Hippocrates supposedly it and it's been used for thousands of years for so many different applications." - Autumn Smith   Our Beautiful Connection With Nature   "We are in this world today where we think there's a pill for every ill and that's the answer were should be looking for but our company, Paleovalley, and our products like our Apple Cider Vinegar Complex are about sharing the beautiful wisdom that exists between earth and our bodies. We've evolved using that intelligence yet somehow I feel like we have become very disconnected from nature and so our product line focuses on trying to help people come back to that. We look at the wisdom of Mother Earth and we just bring the highest quality ingredients from nature into a version that people can use on a daily basis." - Autumn Smith   High Blood Sugar & Chronic Disease     "As a teenager, I was on this blood sugar roller coaster that I had no ideas was profoundly affecting my mood but once I stabilized that and started studying health, I realized that it's not just fun to have unstable blood sugar because you're hangry, it legitimately increases your risk for pretty much every degenerative chronic disease there is, right? Insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's and more. But if we can use apple cider vinegar or something similar to bring blood sugar stability back to normal, you have this incredible wealth of bandwidth all of a sudden; you have more energy, vitality, and can sleep better. This comes into place with all of the other factors on the wellness wheel." - Autumn Smith     Links From Today's Show  Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar Complex 352 Autumn Smith: How To Heal Your Brain With Food  135 Autumn Smith: The Truth About Food And Mental Health ‎Optimize Paleo Podcast by Paleovalley The #1 Nutrient to Boost Your Mental Health 293 Dr. Jade Teta 397 Kara Collier 384 Shawn Stevenson 364 Alison Armstrong Paul Chek | All Is God 336 Joe Sheehey Paleovalley Beef Sticks Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Belcampo Meat Co Botanic Tonics breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Paleovalley Facebook Instagram Autumn Smith Facebook   About Autumn Smith Autumn Fladmo Smith has been a health enthusiast her entire life.

Elevated blood glucose is one of the earliest and most common indicators of worsening metabolic health, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. For our clients, fasting blood glucose and triglycerides are amongst the first things we test to get a snapshot view of metabolic health. We've now added HbA1C - a marker that offers a broader look at glycemic history - to our baseline blood panel, to better evaluate our clients. On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall talks about the HbA1C blood test: what it is, who needs it, and why you should care. Megan talks about the optimal reference range for this test, and when to become concerned about your result (hint: it's sooner than your doctor would have you believe). She also talks about exactly what to do if your A1C is out of range, and how a continuous glucose monitor can help you evaluate your body's response to different foods and other environmental factors. Here's the outline of this interview with Megan Hall: [00:00:48] HbA1C (aka glycated haemoglobin): a marker of your glycemic history. [00:02:27] Glucose to A1C conversion chart.

I always say, 'There's no one size fits all,' but with sugar, especially, it truly is an addictive substance. It lights up the same pathways as a drug does. These food products are literally designed to be addictive; there's nothing natural about them and that is part of the problem with trying only to go through intuitive eating because it's very hard to intuitively eat candy because it's not a natural food that our body is prepared to handle... ...Truly when you get into that a routine of healthy eating and then you taste that candy again, it tastes so much sweeter. It tastes so much different than when you were eating it all the time and it was just lighting up your dopamine system type of behavior. So, then you can eat something mindfully in every once in awhile because you can sit there and eat it slowly and enjoy it rather than it be something that your brain is driving you to do. - Kara Collier     Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 397 Director of Nutrition at NutriSense, Kara Collier, explains how Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can help optimize your health as well as personalize your nutrition for a lifetime, how our emotional intelligence impacts our food choices, the connection between stress and glucose levels plus her top tricks and tips to help curb your sugar cravings and binges.   What if we told you it was possible to track what unique foods affect your body's blood sugar in real time?   If you've been struggling with sugar cravings and poor eating habits, NutriSense and their team of dieticians are here to help.   NutriSense Save $25 on your monthly NutriSense plan with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Monitor Your Glucose Levels With NutriSense Analyze in real-time how your glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep.

Interestingly a lot of times the data itself from the NutriSense CGM device helps connect people to that mind - body connection on their health journey. There is a lot of research on this for data in general but specifically CGMs enhance people to eat more intuitively because then it enhances our introspective sensitivity which is just a fancy way of saying how we feel our body signals. So, a lot of people will leave this program and they will tell us that their unexpected benefit is that they can now have a better connection to their body." - Kara Collier   Building Sticky Habits With NutriSense "The behavior component of using a CGM device is being able to make the connection of what's actually happening when you're reaching for that snack. A lot of people think it's just a small amount of food and it's not really doing that much but it might be having a ripple effect that lasts 6 hours. That's a huge chunk of your day. So, it's building that awareness of what's truly going on the inside and then also allowing you the ability to make some substitutions, try something different the next day, and see how things differ. It really brings the control back to the person because they can easily see what a substitution or what a switch might actually do for their body. It's that immediate gratification that builds sticky habits that are intrinsically motivating." - Kara Collier   How Stress Impacts Your Glucose Levels "In an acute stress moment you'll have a huge glucose spike just like you ate a donut. We see this when people are having a fight with someone when they got in a traffic jam and they're mad and they're yelling at the car in front of them. When they're giving a presentation and they're nervous and stressed. We'll see that glucose spike just like you ate something sugary which is amazing. That's another mind-body connection that helps you realize the impact of stress on the body and for some people that might be every single morning on their commute to work. And it's not just this isolated, random, stressful event. So when you can make that connection that this is what's really happening on the inside and it might be more impactful than you might have believed it was, that is huge. It helps you connect with how you're feeling and how you're dealing with the events that are thrown at you and what's really going on." - Kara Collier     Links From Today's Show  Kara Collier LMNT 365 Dr. Paul Saladino 357 Robb Wolf 048 Nir Eyal 312 Kevin Kelly How do I put on the CGM sensor?

Have you ever tried measuring your blood glucose? There's never been a better time to use cutting edge technology to quantify and optimize your health. But instead of jumping straight into invasive dystopian technology like brain implants (turning us into the borg), we can actually use tech as a tool to improve our habits. It doesn't have to be overly complicated, and it's quickly becoming easier and cheaper to track heart rate variability, sleep quality, fitness, blood sugar, and much more. And what's most important is how we use our data to modify our daily practices. So joining us on the show today is Kara Collier, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician, and the Director of Nutrition at NutriSense where she's also a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring or CGM technology. On this show with Kara Collier, we're chatting about: How to use technology as a tool to quantify and optimize your health The benefits of tracking blood sugar with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) Why you're stealing energy from the next day when you have that ice cream or extra booze late at night Why drinking oat milk is almost as bad as sugar-laden soda once it hits your bloodstream How stress impacts blood glucose levels (and what to do about it) Why it's a good idea to test your blood glucose after eating manufactured keto products  And tons more...

Themes: Health, Food, Metabolic Health, Diet, Stress, Glucose, Mood, Emotions, Exercise, Cortisol Summary:  Today I welcome Kara Collier, the co-founder and VP of Health at Nutrisense, one of America's fastest-growing wellness-tech startups. After becoming frustrated with the shortcomings of the traditional healthcare system, she made it her mission to help others reach their maximum health potential using modern technology & expert coaching. She is the leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology for health optimization and disease prevention.  In this episode, we jam about a topic not often discussed by traditional healthcare systems until it's too late - the role of glucose and insulin response in your body and how it affects your metabolic health. Glucose monitoring is not just for people with diabetes! We talk about insulin sensitivity in our modern (often stress-filled!) lifestyles, the many factors that affect our insulin responses, and how we can monitor our insulin fluctuations to better understand how we metabolize different foods. Glucose monitoring can help us to make more informed lifestyle choices to optimize our overall well-being and long-term health. Discover: What glucose is and how it plays a vital role in our bodies What metabolic health really means and how glucose affects it How modern-day stressors create cortisol and insulin spikes What glucose tracking is and how you can do it Why exercise is essential for your metabolic health and longevity How glucose fluctuates for women during menstrual cycles + menopause What you can do if you getting a continuous glucose monitor is not an option for you 00:00 Intro  02:50 What is metabolic health? 09:03 Glucose and insulin 12:05 How does it begin? 19:03 Metabolic health in a modern world 23:03 Understanding our relationship with food 30:21 What is a glucose monitor? 39:24 Making mindful food choices 42:16 Impact of glucose levels on mood 44:43 Effect of alcohol and stress on glucose levels 51:37 The benefits of a strong muscular system 56:05 Glucose fluctuations during menstruation and menopause 58:20 Alternative ways to monitor glucose Links: Website: https://www.nutrisense.io/ Special offer for my listeners!

Get ready for an extremely informative and interesting show all about glucose! We'll be talking about the wonderful new technology of continuous glucose monitoring with dietician Molly Downey from the health technology company, Nutrisense.This episode breaks down the science and benefits behind Nutrisense, the fantastic technology that allows you to track your blood glucose levels over a sustained period of time. This is incredibly helpful as the data Nutrisense gives you shows you the effect of not just your dietary choices, but also how all aspects of your lifestyle affect your blood glucose levels. You'll also learn why Molly says that if your cortisol is consistently activated, you're going to have a lot of difficulty losing weight, as well as the importance of monitoring your postprandial glucose response.I've also arranged for an awesome 25% discount on any NutriSense program for B.rad podcast listeners.

[01:35]There are many factors that affect our blood glucose levels. [07:58]Sleep and glucose have a bi-directional relationship. [11:25]It's normal to see glucose rise while you're sleeping; it is not necessarily a bad thing. [15:42]And with melatonin, there is a decrease in the secretion of insulin and also a decrease in insulin sensitivity. [18:56]Some people can tolerate eating a meal late at night and others cannot. [20:30]Stress is another factor affecting the glucose level. [23:51]What does an optimal glucose subject look like? Try to avoid the high spikes in the first place. [25:54]The focus needs to be on the post-meal responses. People react differently to different carbohydrates. [32:09]Molly developed many physical symptoms that doctors couldn't define or treat. [34:27]Many people have no problem maintaining the baseline no matter what they eat. It is important, still, to monitor occasionally. [39:20]The optimal level is to be below 100, but there are other aspects to look at. [42:19]Molly suggests a return to baseline in two or three hours, which seems like a long time. [46:16]Protein and fat can often mitigate the glucose spike response. How does having an apple for a snack compare with having a soda? [49:00]When using the app, we can watch for dangerous dips and compare responses from the foods we eat. [51:51]What are some of the weird readings people have that are difficult to explain? [55:31]How does heat, dehydration, and a workout show up on your chart? [58:22]The dietary training certification allows for dieticians to continue their exploration with individuals and learn new data and not necessarily follow strict recommendations.
