#195 Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Better Metabolic Health - Kara Collier

Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and our guest today is Kara Collier. Kara is the Head of Nutrition at Nutrisense.io, which is a company that offers commercial continuous glucose monitoring services. Your glucose is one of the best indicators of overall metabolic health and flexibility. I also tried out their CGM software and it was very easy to comprehend and use. It’s an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to gain more insight into how certain foods affect their metabolism and glucose levels.

KAATSU bands incorporate blood flow moderation training that tricks the body into thinking it lifts much heavier weights than it actually is. When traditional weight lifting requires you to reach 70-80% of your 1 repetition maximum to stimulate muscle hypertrophy, then KAATSU achieves that effect only at 20-30%. So, it’s perfect for treating injuries or used when you don’t have access to heavyweights. Research about KAATSU bands also shows it lowers blood pressure, speeds up recovery from injuries, releases stem cells, builds muscle, burns fat and prevents age-related muscle loss. PLUS, you can travel with them easily and still get a good workout on the road. If you want to try out the KAATSU Cycle bands, then use the code SIIM for a 10% Discount at kaatsu-global.com!
