Understanding glucose and glucose metabolism for better metabolic health. We discuss what the ideal glucose response looks like, and the difference between glycemic index, variability, and glycemic load of foods. What influences the glucose response and how to use strategies like nutrient timing and carbohydrates to control your response. As well as acute and chronic low-grade stress response, resistance training, sleep deprivation, and insulin.
