We have an inflammatory crisis on our hands in America, and it's time for us to wake up and start teaching and educating patients what to do and what not to do so that they can be a lot better version of themselves.
And so I don't want to sound like I'm an alarmist or fear of margarine.
It's just what we're seeing every single day.
And simple, tiny changes can make a huge impact.
We'll have patients that are on five to ten different medications, and they make really just a few of these subtle changes, and their quality of life just goes out the roof, right?
Like stabilizing glucose, for example.
if we just stabilize glucose from 80 to 130 no matter what we ate so sometimes we'll just put a continuous glucose monitor on our on our arms and then no matter what you eat if you're you can get your glucose to be 80 to 130 your quality of life and your overall health is going to be significantly better a lot of our patients they like drop down to 60 and then they go up to 170 and they drop down to 50 and they go i mean it's just like this roller coaster throughout the day
but what we eat on a daily basis causes our blood sugar levels to be significantly unstable and in reality that just produces a ton of inflammation and problems whereas if we just stabilized our blood glucose just that one simple change we would feel way better long term
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was wild.
Totally.
And you do get the one where you put a CGM on like one out of 20 and it's completely inaccurate.
Like it's it's like sounding the alarms.
They're pretty much dead and like, hey, that's that's wrong.
Let's get a new one and put it on.
Right.
So that does happen every now and then.
But it's kind of like a great science, you know, science project for us where we put it on and we can see
what we're eating, how it impacts our blood sugar levels.
