056. Unlocking Metabolic Fitness with CGM's, Reverse Diabetes, & Top Blood Sugar Hacks - Josh Clemente

This week I'm blessed to have on Josh Clemente on the show. Josh is the founder of Levels Health,  which is an app that works synergistically with a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to track your blood glucose in real time, so you can maximize your diet and exercise. The Levels app is your intelligent metabolic coach. By studying your food and exercise, the Levels app can show you how your fitness and dietary choices affect your metabolism, and give you ways to improve your health.

I purchases a Levels' CGM and did my own 28 day experiment and was blown away by all the amazing data I got based on my lifestyle, eating habits, exercise and sleep. CGM's are probably one of the best biohacks out there, and in terms of overall health, is probably one of the best things you could purchase. We all know high levels of blood glucose, if not managed over time correctly, can lead to a host of illness and autoimmune conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc.

One of the great things about Levels is not only the CGM, but their blog. They put a lot of top notch quality content such as: what should your glucose levels be, what is CGM, the Levels theory of behavior change, how a CGM can help you find the optimal foods to eat, and much more.

Levels currently has a wait list of several thousands of people. If you want to skip the line and get access to their app and the CGM, go ahead and click on this special link they granted me levels.link/joelevan

Last but not least, I'm excited to tell you that I've just launched an 8 week program dedicated to busy and motivated men that want to lose weight and start living their higher purpose. We work on mindset, clarity work, diet/nutrition, exercise, sleep, habits, and much more. For more details, DM me @joelevancoaching or email info@joelevancoaching.com
