Is there value in fewer meals within time restricted windows? Do the number of meals come into play with effecting insulin even if they don't cause a glucose spike?
I recently started using Levels w/ a CGM to track glucose levels with eating and exercise. Also started using a Lumen which is supposed to tell me if I'm using fat or carbs for fuel. I noticed 2 days that I ate roughly the same number of calories, ate in an 16/8 window, roughly same macronutrients, but one day I ate many little meals and the next morning I was mostly burning carbs for energy, and the day I ate 2 big meals the next morning I was in mostly fat burning. Do the number of meals come into play with effecting insulin even if they don't cause a glucose spike?
Psoas muscle
Having been told the pop of my hip is actually my psoas muscle I was prescribed some exercises which seem very unnatural. If sitting and walking/running makes the psoas muscle tight what natural movements did our ancestors do to counter this? Google image "psoas muscle exercise" and I doubt anyone was doing any of this
Recommended doc in Anchorage, Alaska?
Hello, My wonderful primary care physician finally retired. I'll be looking for a new physician and live in Anchorage, AK. Do you have any physician friends in Anchorage you recommend? Alternatively, if you recommend a physician in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle or Portland) or Southern California I could see for annual checkups that would be interesting too.
Are veneers ok for long-term health?
Really enjoyed your interview with Dr. Patricia Cosby, but want to know if veneers are okay for long-term health? I have short teeth because of genetics, and would really like veneers on the top for cosmetic reasons, and maybe the bottom due to crowding. I don’t know if there are any contraindications to long-term health for having veneers. Am I better off skipping them altogether? Is it ok to get them on the top and just straighten the bottom with Invisalign? I am also considering getting a procedure to fix a “gummy” smile along with the veneers.
