This episode is brought to you by Levels. One of the single biggest predictors of how long you live and how good you'll feel while living is your metabolic health. The single best way to work out how your daily decisions are impacting your longevity and your vitality is by tracking your glucose. This is why I wear a continuous glucose monitor from Levels. It allows me to understand in real time how the foods that I'm eating are impacting my health and the way that I feel. The Levels app interprets your glucose data and gives you a score after each meal so that you can see how different meals are impacting you and it will give you personalized diet recommendations that are right for your body. Glucose is a huge determinant of not only your vitality and your longevity but of the way that you feel day to day. Using Levels means that you take the guesswork out of this. It can help you to nudge your diet towards something which is going to be better for you right now and in the long term as well. After using Levels, I realized if I have a large carb meal and I do not go for a walk afterwards my blood glucose goes through the roof and I do not feel so good.
