    49: How Carbohydrate Intolerance Works – Robb Wolf

    What is carbohydrate intolerance? Do each of us have a personal tolerance or intolerance of carbohydrates? Does this also vary by source of carbohydrate? Learn how evolutionary tools may explain appetite regulation and carbohydrate metabolism and offer ways to regain carb tolerance through diet and lifestyle modifications.
    In this episode, we explore how carbohydrate intolerance works. We look at the evolutionary template (basically the Paleo template), neuroregulation of appetite, carbohydrate tolerance, insulin resistance and sensitivity, and the factors that drive all of these.
    "Once the person is insulin resistant, particularly when they are heading down this road towards prediabetes and potentially diabetes, ...

    Eran Segal & Lihi Segal: Is Your Glucose Metabolism Unique to You?

    Is your glucose metabolism driven by your personal microbiome? Recent research reveals how the microbiome influences blood glucose, weight gain and weight loss. And how the new company, "Day Two", is using microbiome sequencing data to provide personalized nutrition recommendations.

    In this episode we discuss how personal your blood glucose response and regulation is. We look at how glucose metabolism can differ from one person to another, and how it differs based on typical measures, such as the hypoglycemic index. Most research studies try to understand what a diet or food does to an average person. But the question is whether ...

    47: Using Supplement Testing Results to Ensure Supplement Efficacy – Neil Thanedar

    Recent investigations have shown supplements to not always contain what they say they do. Or at other times to have unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals. Learn to use 3rd party lab testing to select supplements that contain the active ingredients needed to provide the results you seek.
    Sometimes on this show, we discuss using supplements as tools to get desired results. Examples in past episodes included curcumin, activated charcoal, NT factor, Greens powder, oxaloacetate and many others.

    I've been aware for a long time that not all supplement products are equal in quality. For instance, if they actually contain as ...

A Superb Podcast for Increased Well-being / Healthspan

I have been following a ketogenic lifestyle for 11 months w great results. My progress has been aid and abetted by various podcasters; eg, 2KetoDudes, Ivor Cummins, Wm. Davis, Lee S. Dryburgh, Chis Kelly, Paul Saladino, Bret Scher, Tommy Wood, and many of their informative / articulate guests.

... I found Damien Blenkinsopp's 'The Quantified Body' only recently. It is great.

... Blenkinsopp has a high rank among these healthspan educators / facilitators.

... QBody is very useful to me; the show notes are top shelf and are an outstanding resource.
