Episode description

This week, Dr. Kahn dives into a packed lineup of health insights! He kicks things off with a new study on kimchi and its weight loss benefits, sharing a favorite brand recommendation: olivemypickle.com. Then, it’s onto breakfast – or lack thereof – as Dr. Kahn breaks down three studies highlighting the risks of skipping this crucial meal.

Next, he explains why he now includes Cystatin C in his routine lab panels and explores two studies on sugar: one revealing the dangers of sweetened beverages and the other showcasing the surprising advantages of maple syrup. Plus, a new study makes the case for soy milk as the optimal plant-based choice. 

In the main discussion, Dr. Kahn tackles a trending question: Should non-diabetic individuals consider using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)? He explores the science behind blood sugar, heart health, and longevity while weighing the pros and cons of using a CGM, now accessible through hellolingo.com. While there’s no long-term proof of health benefits for healthy individuals, Dr. Kahn makes a compelling case for why it might be worth trying at least once.
