Huberman Lab · Transform Your Health by Improving Metabolism, Hormone & Blood Sugar Regulation | Dr. Casey Means · 6 May 2024 podcast

They're on the highest end of normal for both triglycerides and glucose.

There's something, there's definitely insulin resistance going on here.

I would much rather see that glucose at 73 and that triglyceride at 50, which to me would say, oh, this cell's processing through energy

great.

And things are moving through.

And we're not backing up in the bloodstream.

We're not converting to triglycerides.

So that's where really optimal ranges get in.

So that's glucose and triglycerides.

Why?

If those are starting to creep up, it's a sign that something is happening metabolically.

And then when we look at some of the other biomarkers, so hemoglobin A1C is really...

So that's a marker that's looking at how many of the hemoglobin molecules that are in the red blood cells that carry oxygen, how many of those hemoglobin molecules have sugar stuck to them

And that's glycation.

So you're looking at glycated hemoglobin.

And you can imagine that if the concentration of glucose is higher over time, more glucose is going to stick to red blood cells.

And that's going to create a higher percentage of glycated hemoglobin.

So that's why that lab is represented as a percentage.

So less than 5.7 is what we want.

Nice and smooth.
