This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Menden.

Through education, motivation and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and

doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential.

Let's get started.

Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Menden and today is part one of a two part series.

We're geeking out on some science stuff.

We're talking about what is known as the insulin index.

This is something we have not talked about here on the podcast.

We might have indirectly touched on it or the concept but not by name.

I've been deep into this research for the past few weeks.

I've been getting increasingly excited to share it with you.

Here's sort of the overarching statement of where we are going in this episode and

in the next.

The insulin index tells us how much the food we eat increases insulin in the blood after

you eat it.

So basically how does this food drive an insulin response or not?

And some of it is pretty obvious, right?

We've talked a lot about insulin here and generally speaking the more a food or a meal

increases blood sugar the more that food or meal will increase insulin.

And really our end goal in much of what we do for fat loss, for energy, for controlling

hunger is about minimizing the insulin response.
