Understanding Sugar's Impact on Your Body.

In this episode, we will talk about glucotypes, sugar, glycemia, and the impact of your body's capacity to properly respond to the sugar you eat in order to maintain a well-functioning metabolism. Our guest, Dr. Snyder, Chair of the Department of Genetics and Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, will shed light on the topic. I hope you enjoy the episode and find it useful. In the study we used as a base for the conversation, they explain how interindividual variability in glycemic responses to standardized meals highlights the personal nature of glucose regulation. Through extensive phenotyping, we developed a model for identifying potential metabolic differences. Reference: Hall H, Perelman D, Breschi A, Limcaoco P, Kellogg R, McLaughlin T, Snyder M.
