Doc, Thanks for this video. This month, the FDA cleared the first CGM that does not need a prescription. I'm hoping more get approved for over-the-counter and the prices come down so that more people can afford them.
I didn’t realize that through fasting you just go through the glucose in your liver and not in your muscles. It takes exercise to get the glucose out of the muscle cells. Thank you for all you teach us Dr. Boz!
Not on today's topic, but after listening to your video on HRT, I did my research and just started. I'm 1 month in and it's not perfect but I'm starting to feel human again! Thank You, Thank You! I find so much value in your videos! Keep up the great work!
Watch out: I get the SAME numbers when I sleep on my LEFT side ( where the CGM is placed ). If you sleep on the sensor it will show LOW values. I also get stiff hands. Watch Out these sensors are very sensitive for pressure and blood flow.
To be more exact, need to combine your CGM data with a Garmin watch. Clear to see sleep/ pulse monitor. Use a dashboard overlay of data. This helps remove some of the guess work.
Thank you for that praise. I love this stuff… every time I begin a show like this - I secretly worry that no one else cares. Thank you again for the praise.
@@DoctorBozA BUNCH of us care, Annette. And I believe this audience for you is growing. Please, keep it up! And by the way, your love for this shows itself in your passion - which makes it all the more interesting for most people.
@@DoctorBoz Great Job !! have to listen to the science stuff at least 2-3 times but it sinks in...i used to squat or powet lift when 19 - about 23 yrs.old followed by pushing a buddy thru parking lot till we "passed out or puked" could have this intense stress weekly cause insulin resistance due to fight or flight response ? i noticed i was getting more bloated & started to get a lil bit of a belly... i look forward to the next 21 day challenge
Recently used a CGM for 2 weeks. I was so surprised how high my glucose went up whenever I moved, even getting up at night or rolling over in bed. Second week, I was on a flight. I saw the highest numbers (I wasn’t nervous, but I did eat the airplane snacks ~35 g carbs, with coffee and water) - got numbers above 180. The first week my glucose was below 100 at night. The second week at high altitude in Colorado, I don’t think the glucose numbers ever went below 100. I was skiing in the high altitude city of Steamboat, Co. I’m wondering if either the CGM malfunctions at high altitude, or if my glucose really spikes at high altitude (less oxygen, all movement seems to take more effort - especially walking)??? My week 2 average was higher than my week 1 glucose average (106 vs 112).
I added too much MCT oil to my coffee the other day and got really bad stomach cramps and had to lay down. I was surprised to see my CGM went up 32 points during this episode. I was about 16 hours into my fast at the time.
I wonder if the 12 mn spike in glucose is related to a higher than normal midnight cortisol? Cortisol can spike at all sorts of weird times . I don't think that everyone is the textbook same when it comes to cortisol.
Blood Glucose is not really a good marker for insulin. For example you can eat (300) carbs at (1) sitting. If injected with insulin your blood glucose will be normal. If your pancreas dumps enough insulin it will conceal high blood sugar. Probably the most important thing we can find out is our bodies insulin production. This is done with a C-Peptide test ( blood drawn). Often healthy “ influencers “ in the health spaces will have an elevated C-Peptide / insulin. I watched an influencer video on a Chanel where she was presenting her husband’s blood work with a physician explaining it. The couple exercise a lot. Eat a keto like diet with carbs of some amount daily. His C-Peotide was (5). The lab reported normal as 2-5. Normal is not what we assume it means. It means on a bell curve most patients are 2-5. The other half are below 2 and above 5. Clinically a healthy non insulin resistant person is between 0.5 and 2. Some sources say 1.8 is the cut off. Get yours checked.
Blood sugar makes a decent marker because we can easily measure it. I agree that it is not a perfect marker though. If you are metabolically healthy then your blood sugar will return to normal fairly quick after eating. If you are not metabolically healthy then your insulin is high. The best way to lower it is by dropping your blood glucose. I'm pretty sure I know which video you are referring to. There is no reason to think that he hasn't always been metabolically healthy. His liver enzymes were elevated which could be from all of the fruit he eats. If people have a healthy hA1c then they should get their fasting insulin checked. If their hA1c is high then their insulin is high or they are a type 1.
Hot tub heat stress is highly altered by chemical stress/damage. Hot water without soaking in chemicals is good, chlorine and bromine, highly absorbed through the skin, is very bad. Major effect on liver and hormones of all kinds.
What you have taught tonight is horrifying to me. The things I need to know about myself, the things that may not be repairable. And all this information was available but how could I know?
⁉️ As a cycling female should I be eating higher carb non-starchy veggies, brown rice, and berries a week before my period to build progesterone? and building estrogens a few days prior to ovulation too? So confusing not sure what I am to do?
Not a doctor, but increasing fat seems like it would increase estrogen and progesterone. They are all built from cholesterol, not starches and sugars. I know for men, when they increase fat, testosterone (the precursor to estrogen) levels rise.
I'm pretty sure it's a couple days before and during your period. Also why rice? I would do starchy vegetables instead. Rice sky rockets my sugars though
Thanks for covering this topic. I’ve just started to use the Keto-Mojo and wonder should I use CGM? I’m having a hard time getting into the dr Boz ratio.
The finger prick is a better choice, imho. You just need to prick often to get a good picture of a span of time. I think mitophagy starts sooner than autophagy. For me in my last two different fasts, I seen what I think is where my autophagy begin. The indicator, I think, is where my ketones abruptly increases and this continues to climb for a period of time. This is between 33 and 44 hours into a fast. I think the word autophagy on intermittent fasting is a myth for many people. Mitophagy fits much better for intermittent fasting. Just my opinion based on my data.
@@kitxxxxxxx mine dumps to 53 every night if I don’t eat protein before bed which definitely isn’t as bad as the numbers she’s showing . Giving this interview I would stop the protein and not worry about it but I get terrible insomnia without the protein
Dr Boz, When we come to the end, insulin Resistance damage is already done. I wonder if my Captain Crunch Liver, poor kids food from Kellogg, was sending warning signs years before with ever increasing triglycerides levels in the blood? The Damage to my liver stayed hidden until now when it is hard to get glucose back to normal.
My CGM is always 20+ points off either direction when I first insert it. I must recalibrate 3-4 times the first few days before it reads correctly. If I roll over at night the sensor alarm goes off because I am on top of it. If readings are too high or too low, I always do a finger prick to verify accuracy.🤗👍😁
@@DoctorBoz It's on my bucket list. Been wearing FreeStyle CGMs for 6 mo. Eye opener for a T2D user. Lots of meals spike suprisingly high. Trying to get my A1C into the low 6s. Enjoy your programs. We are in Dade City just north of Tampa.
I cant remember the exact figures, but my overweight 13 year old used a CGM for a couple of weeks. There was very little change in the curve regardless of what was eaten. She would eat two or three tortillas - sometimes with meat or cheese, and accompanied with a can of sugary drink, and the glucose barely moved. She is frequently hungry, and seems to carry a bit of muscle in her shoulders and arms. She does not exercise a great deal. She weighs about 70 kg and is about 155 cm. Suffers from what I would describe as hypoglycaemic rage frequently. Poor absorption? Hypothyroid?
How do hormones affect women’s blood sugar and insulin production during their cycle? It seems that I become more insulin resistant after ovulation through the end my cycle, even though I adhere to the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Is this a fact?
Won’t low blood sugar trigger a cortisol response? I thought this might be what was waking me at night. I got a CGM and sure enough, I was experiencing lows in upper 40’s to low 50’s and waking up. My sleep got much better after I started eating an ounce of plain yogurt later in the evening (I had previously avoided eating after 4-5 PM). My blood glucose was otherwise pretty stable. And no, I wasn’t experiencing pressure induced low readings. I avoid sleeping on the side I’m wearing the CGM on.
You say that a fast is only 36 or more, but for me even a 30 hours fast (eat dinner, skip a day of eating, then eat breakfast) can be challenging. the only easy fast for me is 24 hours. And I was Keto for two years.. now just low carb.
Had to listen again. I've been wondering if my weight loss and reducing my neck to 15 inches may be reducing my sleep apnea. I don't see any of those overnight spikes. The concept of making uric acid in the brain is very concerning since my mother died of alzmeimer's
I’m curious about my morning blood sugars. If I regularly wake well before sunrise (3:30 a.m.) as I have to be at work by 6:00 a.m.-does my body adapt to that schedule, or will I still get a spike around sunrise due to circadian rhythm?
Want to lose weight (fat)? Autophagy and better health? Then do some hard resistance training combined with hard exercise. Ever notice people doing hard workouts with six pack abs are not fasting and yet still eating a large volume of food. Sleep, Sunlight, Sustainable plan, nutrition, exercise, hydration, social interaction / human relations, reduce stress, blood work/ prevention,....
I am interested in this comment and would really appreciate if you would please quantify "hard resistance training" and "hard exercise" ... Is exercise not same thing as resistance training? Did you mean aerobics exercise?
@@debmurray2734 almost any moment can be considered "exercise": yoga, walking, sex, riding a bike. Hard exercise would be more like HIIT. Hard resistance "Training" is when performed to a specific plan, at a specific % of your one rep max., with a specific intensity, range of motion and progressive overload. The exact structure, moment and load depends on each specific individual. When performed correctly, this will build strength, grow muscle tissue, increase metabolism (muscle has energy requirements, more muscle tissue, high the requirements), all this also increases autophagy while eating with any extended fasting past a normal stopping a couple hours before bed and during sleep. Does that help?
@@dontfit6380 sure, less than 1% of the 5% of the population. Not really that many people. Especially not dedicated athletes trying to grow strength, fuel recovery and grow muscle tissue. Fasting for an extended period (beyond a day)and at a high frequency becomes counter productive.
There’s several hacks people use to make the fasts more tolerable. She mentions some of them sporadically over the months, and I can only mention a few and I might be wrong. But the premise is true. She’s not just water fasting with no aids. Likely-she uses Lots of electrolytes And/or MCT in coffee, or other drinks. maybe even a little butter. Black coffee in the afternoon to decrease appetite. Probably exogenous keytones. Plus she is used to doing it. I know there are more, but, fasting is hard, unless you inevitably know everything she does, without even thinking about it. The first time I went on my first three day fast, I didn’t know enough, legitimate hacks, tips, aids. I had the worse lower back pain in my life. Detoxing? Dehydrated? No electrolytes. No MCT oil. I’m surprised after that I ever tried again. I fasted for fives days using as many as appropriate hacks, tips, tricks, and I felt good enough I wished I didn’t have to go back to eating. Oh yeah, Bone broth-with not a lot of fat-they vary- And-you might just be right. We are all different. But since it’s so helpful, watch several experts on TH-cam, and take notes. Being able to fast regularly is worth the effort (to learn as much as possible and keep trying.) ❤🫶🤗
Last week i took hemoglobin A1C and fasting insulin tests (every 3 months). My H A1C went up from 5.2 to 5.6 but fasting insulin went down from 4 to 2.6. I’m a bit puzzled by the opposite direction of these 2 test results I was wondering if you’d have an explanation? Much appreciation to you for all the work you do to educate us
Have you been fat adapted a long time? I’ve heard a TH-cam (possibly by Ben Bikman?) where they talked about red blood cells living longer if you’re healthier. Since the A1C test measure that life length, someone who has been low carb a long time might have a higher A1C. But be sure you are making ketones for fuel at the same time! Are you measuring those routinely?
Did I hear correctly that Dr Boz did a podcast with Dr. Mercola? If so I wonder where that will be published since he isn't on TH-cam. Should be pretty interesting since Mercola did a 180 on low carb and fasting last year; so now he's into bioenergetics, which calls for more healthy carbs, including fructose.
@@DoctorBoz Much better - but I would love to see you have a friendly debate with Mercola - my head started spinning when I read his substack announcing his complete change in direction.
The last three times my husband wore a cgm they stopped working after 2 or 3 days. I suspect they were reading low even on the days they were working. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advise for older women >60. I've been fasting for months and my BS is still high in the morning. I can't lose any weight. I do most days OMAD What can I do to fix it? Thanks!
Dr Boz did a video addressing this, she suggested changing the eating window so you are feeding during that morning elevated glucose. Cortisol spike in the morning telling your body to get moving elevating glucose
OMAD, according to Dr Fung and I believe, Dr Boz, is not good protocol, especially for women to lose weight. You need to eat 2MAD (two meals a day). Otherwise you're teaching your body to eat less and slow your metabolism. Do some research or ask Dr Boz....
I’ve had insomnia my whole life and I just found protein before bed is the only thing that helps my sleep . Idk why this is . Without protein I’m getting 3-4 hours sleep with added protein about 6 hours. I really want to get back to fasting but don’t want insomnia
My endochrnologist said,"Its ok to lower your carbs a little, but DONT DRINK KETO!" That did it fir me. The oy way I have every managed my glucose is low carb-keto. What's with the carb oish from my and Nutritionist. It doesnt sinc with my experience. 100lbs off iver several years. Still 70lbs overweight but if I keep my carns very low my a1c goes down. Went from 14 to 6. After a month in the hospital I had gained 30lbs and was back on insulin. Are thry trying to kill me?
Is she really achieving those low ketone and glucose readings or just taking her ketone products and fasting short term before taking the readings live?
Muscles store 500 to 1000mg of glucose as glycogen depends on how muscular you are. The liver weighs about 3 lbs can store only 100g glucose. The ratio is way off!

Stress releases Corrtisol which raises Glucose.
The more interesting graph would be Insulin.
I am on Carnivore diet. I am also on 18/6 ,Int. fasting. I can tell that my glucose drops after main midday meal as expected.

@@DoctorBoz Much better - but I would love to see you have a friendly debate with Mercola - my head started spinning when I read his substack announcing his complete change in direction.
SO beautiful--hard to concentrate watching Dr. Boz. :-)
The last three times my husband wore a cgm they stopped working after 2 or 3 days. I suspect they were reading low even on the days they were working. Has anyone else experienced this?
No, but I have used the + feature to add a reading from my finger stick meter as a calibration.
It must happen occasionally, my pharmacist told me to keep the package in case the monitor failed. No refund without the box it came in
I have had that happen when not well hydrated
Any advise for older women >60. I've been fasting for months and my BS is still high in the morning. I can't lose any weight. I do most days OMAD What can I do to fix it? Thanks!
Are you doing keto? If you still eating high carbs then that’s your problem.
@@dontfit6380 no, I don't eat carbs, very little under 50 g.
Dr Boz did a video addressing this, she suggested changing the eating window so you are feeding during that morning elevated glucose. Cortisol spike in the morning telling your body to get moving elevating glucose
OMAD, according to Dr Fung and I believe, Dr Boz, is not good protocol, especially for women to lose weight. You need to eat 2MAD (two meals a day). Otherwise you're teaching your body to eat less and slow your metabolism. Do some research or ask Dr Boz....
I feel that to be crazy
I’ve had insomnia my whole life and I just found protein before bed is the only thing that helps my sleep . Idk why this is . Without protein I’m getting 3-4 hours sleep with added protein about 6 hours. I really want to get back to fasting but don’t want insomnia
My endochrnologist said,"Its ok to lower your carbs a little, but DONT DRINK KETO!" That did it fir me. The oy way I have every managed my glucose is low carb-keto. What's with the carb oish from my and Nutritionist. It doesnt sinc with my experience.
100lbs off iver several years. Still 70lbs overweight but if I keep my carns very low my a1c goes down. Went from 14 to 6. After a month in the hospital I had gained 30lbs and was back on insulin.
Are thry trying to kill me?
My question is doesn't the CGM steam-sweat off your arm in the sauna? Anybody who has experience with that??
Ah she answered that! She said no it doesn't mess with the CGM.
Is she really achieving those low ketone and glucose readings or just taking her ketone products and fasting short term before taking the readings live?
She’s the real deal! She’s honest about what she’s done before every show.
Muscles store 500 to 1000mg of glucose as glycogen depends on how muscular you are. The liver weighs about 3 lbs can store only 100g glucose. The ratio is way off!
for those of you catching up for the first time ...Where have you been? Annette is the best!!
too much guesswork
