“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.”
“Individual responses to diet can be influenced by a person's genetic makeup, however. Knowing a person's genetic factors influencing their response to diet may be beneficial component of a multi-part strategy developed in coordination with professional care for keeping ApoB in check.”
“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.”
“Berberine is a plant-derived compound that may be beneficial for treating a wide range of chronic health conditions associated with obesity, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes, among others.”
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.”

“Approximately 25 percent of people in the United States – roughly 75 million people – carry a genetic variant of this lipoprotein called APOE4, which is associated with higher circulating levels of LDL cholesterol and an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease.”

“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.”
