Zone 2 - Type 1 Diabetics
For type 1 diabetics, zone 2 training is challenging to manage hypoglycemia. Fueling beforehand or adjusting basal rates leads to hyperglycemia following the workout. Often times, those strategies do not mitigate the mid-workout drop in blood glucose. Is zone 2 as beneficial if it needs to be broken in to shorter sessions more frequently? If blood sugars have to driven upward prior to the workout, can we assume that this effects lactate levels and in essence the benefits of zone 2 training? Are there other methods to obtain the mitochondrial benefits from zone 2 training that type 1 diabetics can consider?
Does Peter give more credence to "sustained highs" with a duration of 2+ hours round trip (baseline to baseline) than to highs that are under 2 hours from baseline to baseline.
This is a follow up query to my prior question submission. Peter has talked about peaks, with important variables being number and magnitude, but I have not hear him mention duration. The Daily Clarity Reports have filters for both "Highs" and "Sustained Highs" -- no definition of the latter term is given but it appears Sustained Highs are Highs with time above range for more than 2 hours. Does Peter think duration of highs is important and if so what metrics does he use?
Mitophage and Urolithin A
Peter, I have spent a lot of time reading and trying to understand mitophagy and I keep running into the by-product of gut bacteria digestion of ellagitannins, Urolithin A. Many published articles can be found on PubMed. Can you comment on this or do a deeper dive into Mitophagy? Thanks.
Training with Oxygen
I re-listened to Podcast #85 and then did some further research on my own. I wonder if you could comment on training with Oxygen. It seems this could create more capacity for individuals and increase fat max - even for those individuals that are are not elite athletes. Thanks,
Dishwasher soaps and possible effects on our health
Hi Peter and the team and all the best for the New Year. I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but in hopes there are more than me looking for this answer here is my question: do we have any knowledge about the effects of dishwasher detergent and our use of dishwashers on our long-term health? I am assuming we are consuming minuscule amounts of it daily - but over time, what does that do to us? Are there ways around it (other than not using the dishwasher lol)? Are there better or bad detergents or alternatives? Thank you for all that you do.
