What To Eat For Balanced Blood Sugar

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Vuori, and Paleovalley.
  Have you ever wondered what the worst candy or cereal for
your blood sugar is, or what the best thing to order at your
favorite restaurant might be? Thanks to continuous glucose
monitors, this is knowledge we’ll all be able to take advantage of
in the near future. With insulin resistance playing a key role in
the majority of the chronic diseases of our time, monitoring how
our blood sugar responds to different foods is a huge step towards
health.   In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Casey Means,
Jessie Inchauspé, and Dhru Purohit about the best and the worst
foods to eat for glucose management, as well as tips and tricks for
combining food for optimal blood sugar balance.   Dr. Casey
Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and
Cofounder of the metabolic health company Levels, an associate
editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and
Prevention, and a guest lecturer at Stanford University. Her
mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of
preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tools
that can facilitate a deep understanding of our bodies and inform
personalized and sustainable dietary and lifestyle
choices.     Jessie holds a bachelor’s degree in
mathematics from King's College London and a master’s degree in
biochemistry from Georgetown University. Her work at a genetic
analysis start-up in Silicon Valley made her realize that, as the
key to good health, food habits beat genetics. In her first book,
Glucose Revolution, Jessie shares her startling discovery about the
essential role of blood sugar in every aspect of our lives, from
cravings to fertility, and the surprising hacks to optimize it
while still eating the foods we love.   Dhru Purohit is a
podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and
wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top
50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His
