E4: Burn More Fat And Increase Insulin Sensitivity, with Marty Kendall Mastering Blood Sugar
-
- Nutrition
“While carbs and protein raise insulin in the short time, the fat on our body and the fat in our diet have the most significant influence on our insulin levels.” Those are the words of Dr. Mowll’s guest today, engineer and creator or the website Optimising Nutrition, Marty Kendall.
Marty Kendall is an engineer with an interest in nutrition who seeks to understand things numerically. His wife is a type 1 diabetic and he has a family history of types 2 diabetes and obesity. He has created a system to prioritize low insulinogenic nutrient-dense foods that he and his wife, Monica, have been using to improve low blood sugar, increase energy and to reduce depression and anxiety (that so often comes with blood sugar dysregulation). Marty says he’s been able to step up to a new level of vitality, reach his ideal weight, and reverse his pre-diabetes with this system.
In today’s episode, Marty talks about how he uses his engineering background to understand and optimize blood sugar health. He also discusses the personal fat threshold and how it relates to insulin resistance, diabetes, and blood sugar dysregulation. Dr. Mowll and Marty Kendall talk all about calories and how they fit in — and how overeating even the right foods can still prevent you from burning fat and losing weight. Marty shares information on how to minimize cravings by improving insulin and leptin signaling and increasing the nutrient density of the foods you eat.
