Wellness While Walking

We chat with blood sugar expert, Dr. Beverly Yates about the epidemic of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Even if we're far from the threshold of having issues with blood glucose regulation, we have much to learn about what causes blood sugar problems and dysregulation. Our current lifestyles and culture are a true mismatch with our biology, and Dr. Yates breaks down what foundational pillars of health we can focus on.

We introduce Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), and what one user found about her daily mid-afternoon piece of fruit. We talk a bit about food combining and about remaining open-minded (with an embarrassing anecdote about the host's close-minded reaction -- fortunately, it was quite a few years back, and she takes full responsibility for her mindset!)
