Description

Did you know your glucose response can be completely different from someone else’s—even if you eat the same meal? In this episode, Lea Wetzell is joined by naturopathic doctor Dr. Paul Ratté to explore the concept of glucose types and how understanding your unique response can be a game-changer for metabolic health.

They dive into the power of continuous glucose monitors(CGMs), the role of glycemic variability, and how early signs of insulin resistance often go undetected with standard lab tests. You’ll also learn about the impact of cortisol, grazing patterns, and perimenopause on glucose, plushow therapeutic diets like keto or carnivore can be used as short-term diagnostic tools—not just long-term fixes.

If you're navigating prediabetes, struggling with energy crashes, or simply curious about optimizing your metabolism, this episode is full of actionable insights to help you build true resilience—through food, sleep, and lifestyle.
