Are you intrigued by the world of biohacking and personalized health optimization? Have you ever wondered how your body responds to different foods, workouts, and daily stressors? You can start unlocking your metabolic mysteries with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a technology traditionally used for diabetes management, which is now gaining popularity among health-conscious individuals seeking deeper insights into their metabolic health.

In episode 7 of season 2 of the Making Health Dooable podcast, Sarah Schall and Justin Thomas, two non-diabetic health coaches, shared their fascinating experiences with CGM. Driven by curiosity, they embarked on a journey to uncover the hidden dynamics of their glucose levels. Sarah, a self-proclaimed biohacker, discovered how her body uniquely reacts to various foods, while Justin, inspired by Dr. Peter Attia’s book “Outlive,” learned to optimize his diet without resorting to extreme carb restriction.

Through CGM, Sarah and Justin gained invaluable insights into their metabolic health. They uncovered surprising glucose spikes and dips, prompting them to make adjustments to their daily routines. From tweaking their morning coffee rituals to rethinking workout recovery strategies, they discovered the power of personalized data in making informed choices.

The podcast episode also delves into the practical aspects of CGM, including syncing apps and navigating the occasional (and sometimes surprising) nighttime alarm. But beyond the technicalities, Sarah and Justin emphasize the transformative potential of CGM in understanding the intricate interplay between our bodies and our lifestyles.
