Stubborn Fasting Glucose

Me too. Have you considered the “dawn effect”? Measure your glucose before going to bed, assuming you haven’t eaten/drank in 3 hours. That might give you insights about sleep contributions too. Hello, Has anyone else had a hard time getting their fasting glucose to drop into optimal ranges? Anyway, ...

Re: Deep Sleep 4/4

still trying to dial in what the problem is.... I would suggest reading the book by Dr. Walker: Why We Sleep (Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams). He has been interviewed by Dr. Peter Attia (multiple times) and Dr. Rhonda Patrick if you prefer to hear a more Q&A approach. https://www.youtu...

Hi Gino, I would suggest that you look at your exercise. I find that the more active I am, the more deep sleep I get. Let us know how that goes.

It has references. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/01/viral-video-makes-false-and-unsupported-claims-about-vaccines/ All of my reading indicates that the risk of not taking the vaccine f...
