As biohackers, and as women with a curiosity for optimal performance, we have found that using CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) provides so much practical information to help personalize our wellness & nutrition. The glycemic responses are not just reactive and relative to food, but to exercise, stress, sleep, emotional and even environmental factors. In this episode we share the basics on glucose testing, what causes spikes and drops in our glucose, and a comparison of our genetics for blood sugar imbalance risk factors.SHOW NOTES:1:21 Welcome to the show!2:22 What is a CGM?4:07 Accessibility of these devices7:26 Why should you want a CGM?8:57 Additional benefits of glucose monitoring10:49 Glucose goals for non-diabetics12:16 Look for daily trends13:07 Looking at genetic factors13:26 Lauren’s genetic report14:56 Renee’s genetic report17:52 Our experiences thus far with a CGM19:15 The effects of alcohol on blood glucose21:11 Disassociating hunger from low blood sugar22:20 The biggest cause of blood glucose spikes!24:18 Metabolic Typing & Oxidation status24:48 Zac Efron’s trip to Sardinia25:45 Infrared Sauna & HIIT training27:37 Lauren’s biggest trigger29:32 Lauren’s most useful hack32:36 Digging into emotional stress34:52 Eating when stressed35:26 Exercise & blood glucose36:07 Supplementation for glucose control38:36 Thanks for joining us today!RESOURCES: Levels HealthNutriSenseFour Sigmatic - use code BIOHACKERBABES for 15% offArticle: What does alcohol do to my glucose levels?Supplement: Kion Lean - use code BioBabes15 for 15% offSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
