Why does food have such an impact on our daily lives?

from Ask Why Medicine · host Gina, Witt, Patti, and Lora

In this episode, Ask Why team members Dr. Gina Pritchard and Lora Hooper discuss food’s impact on our daily lives. Lora opens with the life-changing story of her son’s recent diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, and how that shifted her perspective on what is normally considered to be “healthy” food. The two discuss the fact that food may have a different effect on each individual, and that it’s important to figure out how food affects your own body. Lora and Dr. Gina additionally encourage listeners to wear a continuous glucose monitor, and what to look for when reading the data. “Relying on the hemoglobin A1C as an adult to tell us if we’re in danger or not- that is killing us. It truly is killing people, because they’re ignoring what they’re eating and saying, ‘I’m okay, my hemoglobin A1C looked okay,’ when truly each year you could be coming closer and closer to becoming diabetic.” - Gina Pritchard, DNP, RN, ACNPReferences:Hemoglobin A1CContinuous glucose monitor
