Balancing Blood Sugar and Building Muscle with Kelly LeVeque
Manage episode 429285642 series 122023
"Protein is the unlock that a lot of people aren't using. It supports blood sugar balance, keeps you feeling full, and helps maintain muscle mass—crucial as we age." - Kelly LeVeque
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kelly LeVeque, a clinical nutritionist, celebrity health coach, and bestselling author of Body Love.
Kelly's story is particularly resonant as she navigates the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while balancing the demands of being a mother of three young children. Her expertise in blood-sugar balance and protein intake provides invaluable guidance for those of us aiming to stay energized and vibrant. Kelly emphasizes the importance of getting the basics right—prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and fiber in our diets to maintain stable blood-sugar levels and support overall health.
Throughout our conversation, Kelly delves into the science of how protein aids in blood sugar balance, debunks common myths about protein intake, and shares her practical tips for incorporating more protein into our diets. She also addresses the often overlooked role of amino acids in regulating hunger hormones and supporting muscle maintenance, which is crucial for aging powerfully.
We also touch on the impact of industrial seed oils and the importance of choosing whole, unprocessed foods to reduce inflammation and promote health. Kelly's approach is not about rigid dieting but about understanding our body's needs and fueling it properly to achieve lasting wellness.
