    How to Choose A Protein Shakes To Reach Your Goals

    Learn More About Protein: https://drlindsayogle.kit.com/protein Feeling full on a few bites and still missing your protein? That’s the trap many GLP‑1 users fall into, and it quietly chips away at muscle, energy, and metabolic resilience. We zoom in on a simple fix: make protein and fiber the headline of every meal, then use pre‑made shakes as a smart assist when time or appetite is tight. We start by setting a practical target near 100 grams of protein per day and show how to spread it across meals to stabilize blood sugar and satiety. From there, we open the fridge and compare eight ready‑to‑drink shakes with a physician’s eye: protein per bottle, added sugars, fiber, calories, taste, and value. Expect clear winners and one clear pass. SlimFast High Protein and Muscle Milk bring surprising fiber; Premier Protein and Ensure Max are dependable, budget‑friendly staples; Alani Nu trades on taste with solid macros; Fairlife Core Power offers balance while the Elite version delivers a true meal‑replacement level 42 grams; and Orgain proves you can go organic without sacrificing performance. Along the way, you’ll learn how to read labels fast, why added sugars undercut satiety, and how to pair shakes with whole foods to protect lean mass and feel better on GLP‑1 therapy. By the end, you’ll have a short list that fits your goals, your budget, and your taste buds, plus a routine you can repeat on busy mornings, road trips, or gym days. If two options tie, we nudge you toward the cheapest one and show how buying in bulk saves money without compromising nutrition.

    Understanding Insulin Resistance And Why It Matters

    ***CORRECTION*** A1c of 6.5% or greater is diagnostic of Type 2 Diabetes (Dr. Ogle misspoke @6:45) Diabetes Prevention: https://drlindsayogle.ck.page/diabetes Ever wondered why carb cravings feel relentless or why weight feels harder to manage than it used to? We dig into the real mechanics of insulin resistance and map the path from normal glucose to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, making sense of the numbers your doctor orders and the signals your body sends. With clear language and practical examples, we turn confusing lab ranges into meaningful next steps. We break down fasting glucose and A1C—what they measure, the exact cutoffs, and when each test makes the most sense—so you can walk into your next appointment informed and confident. You’ll learn who should get screened earlier, from those with family history or gestational diabetes to anyone noticing skin tags, acanthosis nigricans, irregular cycles tied to PCOS, or surging hunger and carb cravings. Most importantly, we explain why catching elevated glucose early protects your heart, kidneys, nerves, eyes, and brain over the long haul. Treatment has evolved. Not everyone with type 2 diabetes needs insulin, and newer options can lower blood sugar, support weight management, and reduce cardiovascular and renal risk. We connect these therapies to everyday habits that move the needle—protein-forward meals, short walks after eating, strength training, better sleep, and cutting sugary drinks—so you can build a plan that fits real life. If you’re worried about your risk or already in the prediabetes range, you’ll leave with actionable steps and a path to healthier numbers. If this conversation helps you or someone you care about, subscribe, share it, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more people find reliable guidance and take charge of their metabolic health. 👩🏼‍⚕️ Live in Missouri? What to be my patient?

    How To Pick A Protein Bar That Supports Metabolic Health

    Learn More About Protein: https://drlindsayogle.kit.com/protein Tired of “protein” bars that read like candy? We put eight popular bars under a metabolic microscope and lay out a simple plan to choose options that actually support appetite control, muscle maintenance, and better blood sugar—especially if you’re on a GLP-1 and struggling to hit your daily protein. No hype, just clear criteria: 20 grams of protein for a true meal assist, minimal added sugars, smart fiber for satiety, and a gut-friendly sweetener profile. We start with why protein is non-negotiable for metabolic health, then explain how GLP-1 appetite suppression can make protein targets harder to reach. From there, we compare GoMacro, KIND Protein, and RXBAR as nutritious snacks that fall short for protein supplementation. We break down Clif Builder’s as a solid protein source with a sugar load better suited for endurance days, not desk days. Finally, we spotlight four strong contenders—Quest, First Form, Pure Protein, and Think—covering calories, carbs, fiber, sugars, and sugar alcohols so you can match the right bar to your goals and your gut. You’ll leave with practical rules to shop fast: aim for 20 grams of protein per bar, favor fiber if you need help hitting daily targets, watch added sugars, and test your tolerance to sugar alcohols. We also share when to use bars as a meal stand-in, when to treat them like a snack, and how to keep whole-food protein at the center of your day. Have a favorite flavor or a brand we missed? Share it with us. If this guide helps you choose smarter, subscribe, leave a quick review, and pass it to a friend who’s ready to upgrade their protein game. 👩🏼‍⚕️ Live in Missouri?

    Keeping Weight Off For Good

    Ever wonder why some people keep weight off for years while most drift back within months? We dug into the National Weight Control Registry and our clinic playbook to map the real-world habits that turn short-term results into long-term health. No fads, no quick fixes—just the daily moves that quietly stack wins: food choices that reduce hunger, walking that protects muscle and mood, and morning routines that steer the day before cravings get loud. We start by reframing the goal from dieting to durable health. You’ll hear how nearly all long-term maintainers changed their food environment, simplified meals, and used protein to stabilize blood sugar. We talk about why walking an hour a day is the unsung hero of maintenance, how brief post-meal strolls blunt glucose spikes, and where light strength work fits to preserve lean mass. We also break down the breakfast advantage, the surprising power of a weekly weigh-in as a neutral compass, and the benefits of guarding your evenings from endless screens to make room for movement, prep, and sleep. From there, we get personal: how to build joy and support outside of food so stress doesn’t hijack your plan, and why self-compassion beats perfection when life gets messy. We address medications with nuance—how to taper, space doses, or switch agents for maintenance without shame—and explain the biology of appetite that makes ongoing support both reasonable and effective. The throughline is simple: create a life where healthy defaults are easy, flexible, and repeatable. If this conversation helps you or someone you love, share it with a friend, hit subscribe, and leave a quick review. Your support helps others find trustworthy guidance and build a maintenance plan they can actually live with. 👩🏼‍⚕️ Live in Missouri? What to be my patient?

    How to Determine Your Goal Weight

    Chasing a number on the scale can feel like progress until it collides with your real life. We unpack a better path: choosing a goal weight that protects your health, fits your routines, and holds up for the long haul. With clear examples and practical guardrails, we show how to move beyond BMI and toward metrics that actually predict metabolic well-being. We start by demystifying BMI—why it can be useful for trends yet misleading as a target—and explain how factors like age, ethnicity, muscle, bone density, and existing conditions reshape risk. From there, we shift to health-first goals: improving blood pressure, cholesterol, A1C, sleep apnea, energy, and mobility while reducing long-term risks like cardiovascular disease and stroke. You’ll learn why body composition analysis, whether DEXA or a validated bioimpedance scale, offers a truer picture of progress as fat mass decreases and muscle mass holds or grows. Together, we define “best weight” as the weight you can live well in and maintain with sensible habits—consistent nutrition, resistance training, regular movement, quality sleep—and, when appropriate, long-term medications managed with your clinician. We also draw a clear line between health goals and aesthetic goals, inviting honest reflection about motivation while protecting your well-being from extreme tactics. Expect practical tips to preserve muscle during fat loss, interpret plateaus, and set up follow-up rhythms that keep you on course without obsessing over every fluctuation. If you’re ready to trade shape shifting for health building, this conversation gives you a roadmap anchored in data and compassion. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a saner approach to weight, and leave a review to help more people find tools for better metabolic health. 👩🏼‍⚕️ Live in Missouri? What to be my patient?
