Send us a text

Controlling your glucose levels and preventing insulin spikes can seem like a daunting task, but what if mastering these skills could significantly reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes? Join me, Dr. Damaris Maria Grossman, as we unravel the complexities of glucose management. We'll go beyond the simple advice of avoiding sweets to uncover how high-carb and processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and even skipping breakfast can destabilize your glucose levels. Learn about the crucial role of quality protein, how age and gender impact insulin sensitivity, and why physical activity is non-negotiable for preventing insulin resistance. 

In this episode, we also dissect the hidden impacts of common medications and supplements on your insulin regulation. From steroids and birth control to antidepressants, discover how these can silently affect your insulin levels. We'll explore the promising benefits of berberine while also cautioning against certain sweeteners and flavorings. Don't overlook the connection between dental health and systemic inflammation, and understand why quality sleep is paramount for balanced insulin and sugar levels. Tune in to prioritize your well-being and take actionable steps toward becoming the best version of yourself.
