Most blood sugar advice focuses on restriction: cut carbs, skip sugar, eliminate more foods. But this episode flips that script.
Mike and Susan explore how specific foods can act as biological instructions for the body, supporting insulin sensitivity, glucose control, liver function, muscle health, and gut microbiome balance. Instead of only focusing on what to remove, this conversation highlights what to add.
In this episode, you’ll hear how:
- Ceylon cinnamon may help improve cellular insulin signaling
- Fenugreek seeds can support glucose-dependent insulin release
- Broccoli sprouts activate NRF2 and help regulate liver glucose output
- Grass-fed beef and avocados support fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity
- Eggs help build the muscle “fuel tank” that stores glucose
- Fatty fish supports healthier cell membranes with EPA and DHA
- Walnuts may increase adiponectin and support metabolic health
- Chia seeds slow carbohydrate absorption through their gel-like fiber
- Chickpeas feed gut bacteria that produce butyrate, a key metabolic signal
This episode connects everyday foods with the cellular mechanisms behind blood sugar regulation, from insulin receptors and liver glucose production to inflammation, resistant starch, and the gut microbiome.
