Description

Angela presents a biohack alongside Dr Jacey Folker, in which they discuss the importance of strategically dosing carbohydrates before a workout for optimal performance. They delve into the impact of insulin resistance on hormone balance, particularly in women, and how certain peptides and supplements can help improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal health.
The conversation also touches on the benefits of peptides like semaglutide and terzipatide for weight loss and appetite suppression, as well as the use of supplements like berberine, alpha lipoic acid, and chromium to optimize blood sugar levels
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Strategic carbohydrate consumption before a workout can be beneficial for active individuals.
Peptides and supplements can help improve insulin resistance and lead to positive effects on hormones.
Berberine, alpha lipoic acid, chromium, and B vitamins are recommended for optimising blood sugar levels.
Dosing of peptides like semaglutide should be individualised to avoid side effects like nausea and loss of appetite.
Tailoring treatment to the patient's response is crucial in achieving desired outcomes and minimising side effects.

BEST MOMENTS
"Insulin itself is considered a peptide and kind of a hormone. It's one of my favorite peptides. I have a daughter that's a type 1 diabetic, and she wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for insulin."
"Berberine has a lot of positive things it can do. Obviously, one of them is to help improve blood sugar levels, insulin resistance. It also has been shown to improve the lipids, the cholesterol."
"I've definitely noticed that with PCOS, the common thing is, you know, for me, because I've got that more kind of pro-androgenic, if I have too much sugar, it leads to breakouts. That's the first thing that I'm going to see."
