KEY TAKEAWAYS:
QUOTES:
[2:29] “Metabolic flexibility is the body’s ability to use different sources of fuel, depending on what’s available. So essentially it’s the body using sugar or glucose or fat as it’s fuel. In an ideal scenario, the body’s able to adapt depending on what's available and it might go back and forth.” - Jenn Trepeck
[19:33] “When we’re eating processed foods, higher glycemic carbohydrates, foods that look like food but are really new to nature molecules, devoid of nutrition, it sets us up for challenges with glucose and insulin and again, allowing our body to do what it’s supposed to do. So whole, real foods meeting those dietary needs.” - Jenn Trepeck
[34:53] “Think about all the little things that you can build into your day to help chip away at that stress whether we feel like we’re stressed in that moment, so that we can start to make the shift and turn off that nervous system response that keeps us in that glucose burning state.” - Jenn Trepek
[44:35] “If you are in a place where you’re experiencing all of those symptoms, or signs of metabolic rigidity, let's start with a progression of working towards whole foods. Hitting our protein, fiber, quality fat. Let’s work to get our blood sugar in these middle ranges. Make sure we have all the stress reduction, the sleep, the movement, all of these other elements in place, and then we can evolve into a place where we start to experiment with some of the other things.” - Jenn Trepeck
