Episode notes
Speed Of Sugar Trumps Quantity
- Blood sugar spikes matter more than total sugar intake because the speed of glucose entering the blood forces large insulin responses.
- Apple cider vinegar is a metabolic signal that can slow sugar absorption and reduce insulin release when timed properly.
Time ACV Before Carb Meals
- Take apple cider vinegar 10–15 minutes before a carb-heavy or sugary meal to slow gastric emptying.
- Avoid taking it after eating or at random times because the insulin spike will already have occurred.
Protect Teeth When Using ACV
- Dilute liquid apple cider vinegar in water and drink through a straw or use capsules to protect tooth enamel and throat.
- If using liquid, rinse your mouth after to reduce enamel damage.
