I am delighted to have Kara Collier joining me for the third time today. The last time we connected was in episode 285. Kara is a registered nutritionist and dietitian. As the co-founder and Vice President of Clinical Operations at Nutrisense, she is the leading authority on continuous glucose monitoring technology for health optimization, disease prevention, and reversing metabolic dysfunction. In our discussion today, we dive into the outdated history of dietitian recommendations, the problem with rigid nutritional dogma, and the need for dietary nuances. We look at scale-related phobias and how many individuals have become disconnected from their bodies, and we discuss the use of tools and data for better health. We also share signs of blood sugar dysregulation, explain what blood sugar spikes mean for your health, explore how perimenopause and menopause affect insulin sensitivity, and touch on the benefits of postprandial excursions and training, stressors, macros, and more. I know you will love today’s invaluable and insightful conversation with Kara Collier. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How dietary advice must fit individual nuances and needs The dangers of rigid nutritional dogmatism Why the scale is not a reliable tool for monitoring health The benefits of continuous glucose monitors for analyzing metabolic health How attuning to body signals allows people to make better health decisions Common symptoms of blood sugar dysregulation How the menstrual cycle affects insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels The impact of various types of exercise on blood glucose levels Will hormetic stress lead to optimal health?
