Learn how to lower blood sugar naturally in this interview with Molly Downey. She’s a registered dietician who specializes in glucose control, metabolism, and weight loss. She currently works as a dietitian at Nutrisense, a health technology company which leverages continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) - as a way to optimize diet, health, and overall well being.

You may have believed that it doesn’t matter when you eat or what you eat, as long as you stay under your calories or points in a day. 

That is not based on science. Weight loss is about hormones. Specifically, it’s about insulin. And you’re going to learn today how the type, amount, and timing of foods we eat impacts blood glucose.

Highlights From This Episode

• Which macronutrient you should eat first during your meal to lower the overall glucose impact of that meal. 
• How to lower your morning blood sugars, also known as the dawn effect.
• Why eating the same meal at a different time of day can impact your blood glucose differently. 
• Why eating several small meals a day is bad for blood glucose and weight loss.
