#847 "The Number One Cause Of Insulin Resistance!" - STOP Weight Gain, Cancer, Diabetes & Alzheimer's with Kara Collier

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.
