Constant Glucose Monitoring and the Levels App; an Experiment with Selena Salfen MPH RD

Constant Glucose Monitoring and the Levels App; an Experiment with Selena Salfen MPH RD

RFK Jr wants us all to be using wearable devices! Presumptive Surgeon General, Casey Means, co-founded Levels Health which pledges to unlock our metabolic health through the use of a constant glucose monitor(CGM). What is a CGM, what promises are made by Levels, and should we care? Jessica and Selena Salfen are going to find out! The two have teamed up in August to use a CGM, link it to Levels and let the app work its biometric magic. The two will be optimized in just two weeks, according to Dr. Robert Lustig, medical advisor to Levels.

Today is just an introduction, there's so much more to say about wearables and personal data, we will be back with more of a conversation and our metabolic results!
