Episode notes
Insulin Is The Fat Gatekeeper
- Insulin is the master fat-storing hormone and controlling it unlocks fat loss and hormonal health.
- Candi Frazier says when you hit a Goldilocks insulin zone, sleep, periods and energy normalize.
The Ribeye Effect Discovery
- Candi tracked her husband Tom's blood sugars and found ribeyes spiked and locked his glucose high for hours.
- That 'ribeye effect' revealed protein-plus-fat meals can raise glucose and demand huge insulin.
Protein, Fat And Delayed Glucose
- Protein is partly converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis and raises blood sugar over time.
- Dietary fat slows insulin absorption, which can prolong high blood sugar after protein-rich meals.
