Dr. Camila, a family doctor in the UK, shares her insights on reversing pre-diabetes or diabetes, managing glucose levels, and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. She also highlights the significance of glucose control during childhood.

Reversing Pre-diabetes or Diabetes and Controlling Glucose Levels

Dr. Camila emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes in addressing pre-diabetes or diabetes and maintaining glucose control. She recommends incorporating these strategies into daily life:

• Embrace a healthy diet: Prioritize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive saturated and unhealthy fats.
• Engage in regular physical activity: Especially weight lifting as this helps with glucose regulation

Harnessing the Power of Gut Health

Dr. Camila underscores the significance of a healthy gut microbiome, emphasizing its role in overall health and disease prevention. She suggests focusing on these aspects:

• Consume fiber-rich foods: Fiber acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains in your diet.
• Incorporate fermented foods: Fermented foods, such as yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut, contain probiotics, which are live microorganisms that replenish the gut's good bacteria.
• Limit antibiotic use: Excessive antibiotic use can disrupt the gut microbiome, making it more susceptible to harmful bacteria. Use antibiotics only when absolutely necessary and under a doctor's guidance.

Childhood Glucose Control: A Cornerstone of Long-term Health

Dr. Camila emphasizes the importance of glucose control during childhood to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes or Alzheimer's in later life. She recommends these preventive measures:

• Encourage healthy eating habits: Foster a love for nutritious foods from an early age. Limit processed foods and sugary drinks which can promote unhealthy eating patterns.

Additional Insights from Dr. Camila's Expertise

Dr. Camila's passion for lifestyle medicine and her belief in the power of food as medicine shine through her approach to patient care. She strongly advocates for gut health, emphasizing the crucial role of a healthy gut microbiome in overall well-being.

Dr. Camila's expertise and insights provide valuable guidance for individuals seeking to improve their health, control glucose levels, and prevent chronic diseases. By adopting lifestyle changes, nurturing gut health, and prioritizing childhood glucose control, individuals can take proactive steps towards a healthier and more vibrant life.
