Personalized Nutrition Part 3: Zoe and Metabolic Response Testing

In the final installment of this three-part series we’re digging into the world of metabolic response testing. Currently, there seems to be increasing emphasis on the importance of understanding your unique response to macronutrients, especially carbs and fat. Companies like Zoe are encouraging everyone to wear continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) while influencers like the Glucose Goddess are extolling the virtues of flattening your glucose curve. But is personalized metabolic response testing necessary for everyone? And do these expensive programs lead to clinically significant health improvements? Join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we explore these questions (and more) in this look at personalized metabolic response testing.  Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?
