Ep 409 How to Fix Insulin Resistance and Take Control of Your Blood Sugar ft. Dr Boz (Annette Bosworth, MD)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people don’t realize it, but one of the simplest ways to understand your overall health is by tracking your blood sugar. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Boz, Annette Bosworth, MD and I dive into why blood glucose monitoring—and especially using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)—can give you a clear picture of how your body is functioning.
From energy crashes to long-term chronic disease, blood sugar plays a bigger role in your health than you may think. And the best part? You don’t need to be a scientist to make sense of it.
We break it down in a way anyone can understand—engaging, thought-provoking, and sprinkled with a bit of humor—so you’ll walk away with practical insights you can actually use.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why insulin resistance is at the root of so many modern health struggles.
- How tracking your blood sugar (even with a simple monitor) can transform your health decisions.
- The surprising link between everyday choices and your long-term risk for chronic disease.
- Why CGMs aren’t just for diabetics—they’re a powerful tool for anyone serious about health.
- Simple, actionable tips to start taking control of your blood sugar today.
