#141: Thanksgiving episode: Why you can't "burn off" what you eat, and how to manage blood sugar spikes

Every year, Shannon releases a "Thanksgiving" episode centered around exercise and food. This year, she's speaking to something that is common around this time of year - using exercise as a tool to "burn off" your food. She discusses why this isn't possible and how to re-wire your relationship to exercise and food. She also discusses how to add gentle movement to manage a glucose spike and feel better after a large meal. 0:00: Introduction 6:00: Why we can’t “earn” our food 13:12: How can you feel better on Thanksgiving?16:26: How insulin sensitivity can play a role18:00: How you can use post-meal movement to your advantage Study 1 referencedStudy 2 referenced14-day free trialFollow Dr. Shannon on InstagramFollow Fit Body, Happy Joints on Instagram
