Summary: In this week's show, here's what we discussed: Discussion about blood sugar management and various tools to track blood sugar, i.e. using a glucometer versus a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) Within that blood sugar discussion we talked about how not every client necessarily needs to track blood sugar - it’s more often beneficial as a teaching or self-monitoring tool for those with clear blood sugar dysregulation issuesOne caller asked about the roots of autoimmune disease, and whether a ketogenic diet could play a role We talked about autoimmune disease being multifactorial - a perfect storm of genetics, lifestyle, environmental stressors/triggers - in other words, there is no single root cause but rather “a death by a thousand cuts"Within that discussion we talked about the pros and cons of a keto diet, and how there is no “one-size-fits-all” diet for our clientsWe also had a discussion about forgiving our bodies and not faulting/guilting/shaming ourselves for our own health challenges We talked about the idea that “your health challenges aren’t your fault, but they are your responsibility."
