🩸 Flatten Your Blood Sugar Spikes
Dr. Andrew Huberman Just Broke This Down on one of his latest podcasts🎙️
If you didn't catch it, here's the cheat sheet on blunting the spike... with additions from my own teaching!⬇️
🍋 Lemon or lime juice with your meal. A few tablespoons before, during, or after a high-carb meal flattens the glucose curve. Sour beats sweet.
🌿 Cinnamon (real Ceylon, not the cheap stuff). Sprinkle it on coffee, oats, or any carb-heavy meal. Small dose, real impact on post-meal glucose.
🥗 Fiber and protein FIRST. Eat the salad, veggies, and protein before you touch the bread or pasta. Studies show this can cut the spike by 30 to 40%. 🔥
💊 Berberine 20 minutes before a heavy meal. 500mg activates AMPK (the same pathway exercise hits). Some studies compare it to metformin. Don't run it daily, save it for the meals that need it.
🚶 10 to 20 minute walk after eating. Your muscles pull glucose out of the bloodstream without needing extra insulin. The Italians and Greeks have been doing this forever. ✅
💪 Lift before you indulge. Resistance training within an hour or two of a big meal opens the door for glucose to go to muscle, not fat.
Stack two or three of these around your next pasta night and watch the energy crash disappear.
