Carbs, Cortisol & Confusion - Registered Dietitian - Isaac Pohlman Breaks it down!

In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah talks with Isaac Pohlman, a registered dietitian and type 1 diabetic, about the misconceptions and nuances surrounding blood sugar, carbohydrates, and diabetes management. They discuss the CGM craze, the importance of understanding dynamic body systems, and the dangers of extreme dietary restrictions. Isaac shares his personal journey from a high school athlete to a dietitian specializing in blood sugar issues and busts myths around carbs, insulin, and common dietary advice. The conversation also touches on the significance of lifestyle factors like sunlight exposure, stress management, and the role of physical activity in insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health. Join Sarah and Isaac for a balanced, common-sense approach to understanding and managing diabetes without succumbing to oversimplified online narratives.
