Why diet is not one-size-fits-all and how you can find one that works for you: Levels Co-Founder Casey Means, MD, talks about bio-individuality, or how the same foods affect people differently.
Dr. Means shares info about a study:
- Researchers gave 800 people without Type 2 diabetes continuous glucose monitors to measure glucose 24 hours a day. - Participants ate standardized meals. - Some people’s glucose raised 10 mg/dL, while others went up 100 mg/dL. - Person A could have a huge spike to a banana and no spike to a cookie. - And person B could experience the exact opposite. - Researchers believe peoples’ microbiomes were a key factor in how they responded to foods.
✅ Wearing a continuous glucose monitor can help you track your glucose responses. “It really comes down to choices,” Dr. Means says. “And right now we don’t have a lot of help to understand what choices to make for our own body. And that’s where wearables—especially bio wearables—can be very helpful.”
