    How Tracking Your Continuous Glucose Levels is the Key to Understanding Your Health and Nutrition with Dr. Taylor Sittler from Levels

    Do you know what your continuous glucose levels are? Most people don’t, so don’t feel bad! But, did you know keeping track of your glucose levels can reveal many important things about your daily diet and habits? It is possible and that’s why we are going to dive into in this episode of the Complete Human podcast. How we do this is through were a Continuous Glucose Monitor. While many people think of these monitors for those with diabetes exclusively, they have become more mainstream and are now used by those who are serious about understanding what’s going on within their body and how what they are eating and doing daily is effecting their overall health.  One of the things we've been talking about for years is the value of diagnostic testing. While there's no singular test out there to really quantify true metabolic health, there are certain things that we can look at time and time again as kind of precursors to metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and insulin resistance. One of those is a continuous glucose monitor. We have both been wearing our levels, which is a Continuous Glucose Monitor that attaches to an app. By wearing this, we've been able to actually not only track our glucose on a consistent basis, but also look at the data as it pertains to certain food activity. So in this particular episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Taylor Sittler, who's the head of research and development over at Levels and we really get into the weeds on metabolic health, what is contributing to metabolic dysfunction, and how we can overcome and avoid these issues through measuring and understanding our glucose levels. Levels is currently running a closed beta program with a waitlist of over 160,000 people.

    Are Plants Toxic? A Healthy Debate on The Carnivore Diet w/ Dr. Paul Saladino

    Are we supposed to be vegans or carnivores? Dr. Paul Saladino has a very unique answer to that question. Since the dawn of time, the food chain has been divided into two very distinct groups – carnivores and herbivores. The herbivores ate the plants and the carnivores ate the herbivores. We were really able to see this distinction in the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago. The dinosaurs died out, eventually paving the way for man, the pesky little hybrid of a creature who consumed both plant and animal. The study of man’s diet through the ages is a topic of much debate in scientific circles. Did we flourish as meat eaters or are we meant to be herbivores. Outside of the scientific debate, there is a cultural clash between those who oppose eating animals, and those that believe that our greatest path to health lies in consuming meat. In this episode of The Complete Human Podcast, Janna and Evan discuss the Carnivore Diet with Dr. Paul Saladino, author of the Carnivore Code. Dr. Saladino discusses man’s origins as hunters, and how eating animals made us human. He discusses in great detail plant toxins of all types, where they are found, and how to avoid these toxins. Dr. Saladino brings a very unique position to the conversation of dietary supplements and why some may be doing more harm than good.

    Galahad Clark: What Shoes are Doing to Your Feet + Why Barefoot is Better

    Did you know that 70% of our brain’s information about movement comes from our feet? So, it follows that healthy feet come with a healthy mind.  But a lot of what we do every day kills our feet, such as strutting in tight-fitting cushioned modern shoes! In this episode of Complete Human, Vivobarefoot Founder Galahad Clark joins Janna and Evan to discuss everything you need to know about foot health and the evolutionary benefits of barefoot walking (and running). Galahad also details how modern shoes, which he blatantly calls “foot coffins,” affect muscle development in kids and disrupt the brain-foot sensory feedback. We dig deep into the fascinating science behind Vivobarefoot’s technology, too! And then we end the episode telling why reconnecting your body with nature and your soul starts with letting your soles touch the ground. Galahad Clark is a seventh-generation descendent of the Clark family dynasty and founder of Vivobarefoot. This London-based footwear company features ultra-thin puncture resistance soles that let your feet do the natural thing.  What we discuss: 3:50 - On continuing his family's shoemaking legacy 7:00 - Why he almost went bankrupt & how Vivobarefoot came to life 11:00 - Why modern shoes are considered "foot coffins" 14:20 - The brain-foot connection + how cushioned shoes could lead to degenerative diseases 24:00 - The sad truth about the shoe industry & his quest to making a difference 32:00 - How tight-fitting shoes affect posture & children's natural movement  38:00 - What your squat form reveals about your foot health 42:00 - All about Vivobarefoot   Learn more from Galahad Clark: Website: https://www.vivobarefoot.com/rw/ Instagram: @galahadclark Get 10% off on Vivobarefoot shoes with code COMPLETE HUMAN at https://www.vivobarefoot.com/rw/   Find more from Complete Human: https://completehuman.com/category/articles/

    Oral Health: The Synergic Relationship between Oral Health and Overall Wellness

    Did you know your overall health is highly dependent on your oral health? There is a synergic relationship between the two. Did you know gum disease is the most common chronic inflammatory condition in the world, plus gum disease is also linked to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis? By combing through 1,000-plus medical histories, researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry found that people with gum disease were twice as likely as others to die from a heart attack and three times as likely to have a stroke. How crazy is that? In our latest podcast episode, we nerd out on all things oral health with the Co-Founder and Chief Dental Officer, Dr. Lynn Hurst. Janna and Evan have been using Candid's clear aligners for straightening their teeth for the past few months and have seen not only amazing cosmetic results but also health results! Dr. Hurst, Janna, and Evan chat through the different effects oral health has on your overall health, the evolution of your teeth, the main culprits of poor oral health, and what masks are doing to your facial structure. What we discuss: 10:00 - Why we seem to have so many oral issues 22:00  - The connection between oral health and cardiovascular health 28:00 - The effects of mask-wearing on facial structure 34:00 - The biggest catalysts for poor oral health 42:00 - Optimal diet for optimal oral health 50:00 - All about Candid You can use Candid, too!
