In this episode, the Ask Why team discusses ways to “hack” your body to improve your glucose and metabolism. They discuss peptides and how they can be used to improve glucose levels and metabolism, as well as help the body build muscle and lose fat when paired with diet and exercise.
The team discusses “The Glucose Goddess” Jessie Inchauspé, and some of her favorite hacks to “hack” one’s glucose. The team explains how dietary changes can impact glucose levels such as pairing starches with protein or eating some protein with fruit. They additionally discuss the benefits of intermittent fasting and the impact this dietary change can have on one’s glucose levels.
