As women, our metabolism can feel elusive as it is impacted by both monthly cycles and cycles of our lifetime such as perimenopause and menopause. The cyclical nature of our hormones will impact how we metabolize both carbohydrates and fats as well as impact our mood, motivation and stamina in the gym. Previously, utilizing respiratory exchange rate to measure metabolism  - which tells us if we are burning carbs or fats for fuel - was only available in a lab setting and not for your average girl. 
Twin sisters Michal and Merav Mor took their interest in how to compete better in their Ironman triathlons and their PhDs in physiology and cardiac science respectively, and created Lumen. Lumen is a simple handheld device that can measure metabolism on each of us, right there at home, giving valuable insight into the intricacies of your unique biochemistry. Join me for this interview to hear how Lumen works and how you can use it to achieve your goals bet that weight loss, performance or longevity. These two women are as delightful as they are smart so don't miss this interview!

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

What test is the most accurate assessment of your blood sugar, insulin resistance or glucose variability? I cover the lab testing that you would get from your doctor: fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1C as the most common ones, as well as Fructosamine and Glycomark. As well testing you might not be getting that you could easily request such as fasting insulin or C-Peptide. And there is testing you likely have like LDH that you didn’t know was related to blood sugar levels. Lastly, how does at home monitoring play in for you in terms of using a glucometer or a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).
 
Which test is best? I cover what these tests tell you, why it’s key to know what you’re looking for, what might be covered by insurance and where you fall on the blood sugar problem spectrum: looking for optimal health and prevention vs. prediabetic or overt insulin resistance. 
 
And the newer question we need to be asking: is it just high blood sugar we need to worry about or is glucose variability where it’s at?

In this fascinating episode with Dr. Latt Mansor joins me to discuss of one of my favorite new products: KetoneIQ. I've generally only considered taking exogenous ketones to support a ketogenic diet for those days when ketones and thus energy was low. However, what we now know is that exogenous ketones are very powerful and have utlilty beyond supplementing a keto diet. Ketones like those found in KetoneIQ can be used for better mental clarity and focus, more energy and better workout stamina and recovery - and all of those benefits can be harnessed without being on a keto diet.
