In This Episode:

Understanding your blood sugar and metabolic health is key to feeling energized and preventing chronic disease. In this episode of Dr. David Jockers’ podcast, you’ll discover the best ways to track your metabolic health without invasive tests or painful pricks.

Learn how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can provide real-time insights into how your body reacts to food, stress, and sleep.

Why Fasting Insulin Levels Matter

Dr. Jockers breaks down why fasting insulin levels are a crucial marker for metabolic health and chronic inflammation.

You’ll learn what numbers to aim for and how to adjust your habits to improve your health long-term.

Real-Time Data for Better Health

Tracking your blood sugar throughout the day is easier than ever with CGMs. Find out how this simple device helps you spot blood sugar spikes, avoid crashes, and optimize your daily energy levels. With this knowledge, you can make smarter decisions about what you eat and how you live.

If you are looking for a continuous glucose monitor, I recommend Theia Health CGM. This device is small and can easily stick to the back of your arm to read your blood glucose levels in real time. When I say small, I mean it’s about the size of 2 US quarters that are stacked, which means it’s very discreet.
