Strategies to Lower Insulin Levels for Better Hormones, Blood Sugar, and Weight Loss with Dr. Ali Chappell | Episode 148 Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

TODAY'S GUEST

Dr. Ali Chappell, the Founder and CEO of Lilli Health, aims to revolutionize the treatment of insulin resistance and PCOS. She is a Registered Dietitian with a MS in nutritional sciences and a PhD in nutrition and metabolism with a focus in reproductive endocrinology. She also completed a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded postdoctoral research fellowship to further investigate nutrition, insulin resistance, and PCOS.
Over the past 12 years, she has conducted three clinical research studies focusing on the transformative ability of a Low Insulin Lifestyle to reverse insulin resistance and treat PCOS. Having PCOS herself, she has dedicated her career to studying a Low Insulin Lifestyle in patients with PCOS. This research led to her receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation in 2021 to launch Lilli Health and help take her research from the lab and the pages of medical journals and into the hands of patients and their healthcare providers.

ON TODAY'S EPISODE

Ali shares her personal story and how she came to study insulin and its impact on PCOS. We discuss the gap in PCOS messaging and the importance of understanding insulin resistance. Ali explains the testing methods for insulin levels and the significance of low fasting insulin. We also explore the foods that raise insulin levels and the misconception around blood sugar management. Our conversation highlights the crucial role of insulin in PCOS and the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this episode we explore the impact of food on blood sugar and insulin levels and emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of individual responses to different types of fruits and the role of fructose in liver fat accumulation. We highlight the benefits of a low insulin lifestyle compared to keto and paleo diets as well as the effects of combining fat or protein with fruit and the potential benefits of time-restricted eating and intermittent fasting. We also share other factors that can help lower insulin levels, such as managing stress and improving sleep.

Are Stress and Burnout Affecting Your Blood Sugar? with Christa Biegler | Episode 145 Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

TODAY'S GUEST:
Christa Biegler is an author, podcast host and private practice owner helping health-savvy women overcome food sensitivities and fatigue without restrictive dieting to beat bloat, burnout & eczema breakouts.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Unrealized stress can have a significant impact on the body, leading to burnout and hormonal imbalances.
The adrenals and thyroid are closely connected, and proper adrenal function is essential for optimal thyroid function.
Testing hormones can be helpful, but symptoms should not be overlooked as they provide valuable insights into imbalances.
Stress depletes important nutrients, such as potassium and sodium, which are crucial for hormone production and overall health.
The connection between stress and inflammation is bidirectional, with stress contributing to inflammation and inflammation causing additional stress on the body. Inflammation and stress are closely related, and it is important to identify the root causes of inflammation.
Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production and overall health.
Supporting mitochondrial health can improve energy levels and overall well-being.
Proper nourishment, sunlight exposure, and timing of meals are essential for optimal health.
Inappropriate fasting can have negative effects on adrenal and thyroid health.
Clinical experience and client feedback are valuable sources of knowledge in healthcare.
The mainstream healthcare model needs to be reevaluated and prioritize individualized care.
