You're navigating a food system that was never designed to help you succeed. Kasper Wickzén spent 15 years inside major food companies (Kraft Heinz, Danone) watching how products were engineered to drive cravings, not nourish bodies. Then his father got diabetes eating what most of us would call a normal diet. That was the turning point. Now he's the co-founder of Sigrid, and after 15 years of research and six clinical trials, he's bringing to market something Dr. G calls one of the most revolutionary metabolic tools he's seen: a natural silica-based particle that slows digestion so your body can actually handle the energy coming in. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why blood sugar spikes aren't just about junk food - bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta are doing the same thing to your system meal after meal • How Sigrid's SiPore® technology physically slows enzyme activity in the gut to flatten glucose curves, reduce cravings, and extend energy - without blocking digestion • Why only 1 in 10 Americans is actually metabolically healthy, and what that means for your energy, mood, weight, and relationships If you eat a modern diet, this episode is for you.
