Hey, everybody. Welcome to this week's podcast on Red Pillar Healthcast. My name is Dr. Charlie Faganholz,

and I'm here with Lauren Johnson, everyone's favorite nurse. And we're going to talk about blood sugar

this week. And I would say that it is a topic that has a ton of information. Obviously,

it's probably one of the most important things for our physiology,

if not the most important thing.

And so let's just have a good conversation about it, Lauren.

When I say blood sugar, what is the first thing that comes to your mind that you think

that the people should know?

I think they should know it is probably the number one indicator of health long term.

And it affects more people than just the people diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes

or even the people, including the type 1 diabetics, which obviously blood sugar affects

them.

It is about having a steady blood sugar throughout the day and it being a source of metabolic control.

Metabolic disease, there's like 12% of the American population is metabolically healthy.

Like, isn't that mind-boggling?

It's crazy.

It's absolutely crazy.

Videos from like PE class from the 50s and 60s and 40s.

That's not just make you.

I know.

It's wild.

What's going on?
