“Continuous glucose monitors – CGMs, for short – are wearable devices that measure blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor placed under the skin. The CGM communicates with your smartphone and provides nearly real-time information about your blood glucose levels.”

“Sugar substitutes are food products or additives that provide the sweet taste of sugar, without the calories. Evidence suggests that sugar substitutes have surprising effects on human metabolism and these effects vary person-to-person, based on the overall makeup of an individual's gut microbiome.”

“Late-night eating can have negative effects on our health. But time-restricted eating limits the daytime window during which a person eats to take advantage of the time when metabolism is optimized, improving health and even promoting weight loss.”

“Advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs for short, are created when the sugars, amino acids, and fats in food encounter heat. AGEs also form in the body during normal glucose metabolism. However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic.”

Hormesis is a compensatory defense response to a stressor that conditions the body against future stressors. Heat exposure – from sauna use, hot tubs, or eve...

“Time-restricted eating involves consuming meals within a specific daily time window. However, choosing the optimal time frame for that window is influenced by many factors, the most important of which is circadian rhythmicity, which alters our body's metabolic responses to food.”

“Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when the immune system generates non-functional antibodies that bind to a pathogen, intensifying inflammation and tissue damage without neutralizing the pathogen.”

“The ketogenic diet is contraindicated in people with pancreatitis, fat metabolism disorders, and other rare metabolic conditions. Some people carry a version of the apolipoprotein E gene called APOE4 – a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.”

“Circadian rhythms modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others, ultimately influencing body weight, performance, and susceptibility to disease.”

“He observed that in most cases, metabolic rates were a reflection of body mass and closely tracked estimations from predictive equations. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise emphasizes the importance of diet to improve healthspan rather than employing tricks to boost metabolic rate.”
