About this episode
This episode discusses the significance and limitations of Hemoglobin A1c as a marker of metabolic health and offers strategies for improving insulin sensitivity.
This episode breaks down what Hemoglobin A1c really measures and why it’s an important—but imperfect—marker of metabolic health. We explore the limitations of relying on A1c alone, while also sharing our functional nutrition approach. We’ll share practical strategies to improve insulin sensitivity, personalize your nutrition, and using additional lab testing to create a fuller picture of your blood sugar health.
