#60 Personalized Wellness in Your Pocket: Exploring Blood Sugar & Nutrition with Tastermonial
In this episode, Niki interviews Bude and Kavin of Tastermonial, a company that uses continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to analyze the glycemic response of different foods. They discuss the science behind the glycemic index and the limitations of using it as a measure of how food affects individuals. They also explore the importance of balancing blood sugar and gut health, and the ideal order of foods to stabilize blood sugar levels. Bude shares her personal experiments with rice and fat, and how different types of fat affect her glycemic response. They conclude by discussing the future of Tastermonial as a platform for individuals to experiment with different foods and supplements.
