Here are some of the things we’ll be unveiling:
- Waiting for blood glucose to be notably high? You have likely missed these earlier three stages of metabolic dysfunction.
- Yes! Focus on diet, stress and sleep, but don’t forget THIS too when addressing stubborn Insulin Resistance and T2DM.
- Crossroads of metabolic and gastrointestinal distress: the pancreatic dysfunction that is often unrecognized.
- This hormone (not Insulin) directly affects your patients’ fasting glucose and HbA1c – regardless of diet! Are you assessing and optimizing it?
- Considering GLP-1’s role in your patients metabolic dysfunction? Look at the microbiome for important devil-in-the-detail!
- Meet Jane. In exactly 10 years, she’s going to get a T2DM diagnosis. But the evidence is lurking in her labs Right Now. Do you know what to look for?
- These 4 high-value supplements have a powerful place in your metabolic health toolbox. Are you using them?

Amber Reed says:
Check fasting insulin or C peptide and mediate stress!

Kim Cope says:
Reminders about food/eating hygiene are very helpful as is all the information you shared. It is important to remember the basics to build a healthy foundation.

Maeve O'Driscoll says:
Fascinating the links surrounding the physiology of the pancreas, it’s link to both metabolic dysfunction and that of gut issues, the not often talked about connection between the 2, and the GI motility is at the centre of Metabolic Function.

Carrie Reedy says:
Great reminder about the gut connection to metabolic dysfunction. Discussion around checking for metabolic issues early, before they become entrenched was great too.
-

Millie Alexander says:
I learned that there can be elevations in fasting insulin and C peptide up to 13 years before a diagnosis of DM. C peptide is a more stable test of metabolic health than Insulin level that seems to fluctuate.

Therese Caraway says:
I love the use of words and the way Tracy describes things….such as – “brewing metabolic dysfunction” or “Behind the scenes imbalances” and “predictive markers”…..these are great phrases that can “paint a picture” for our patients to better understand what is truly happening. That clarity then allows them to stick to a lifestyle change because they deeply understand the “Why”.

So many great nuggets as well as the larger perspective on the chain of Interconnectedness in this talk today!
I was struck by the connection between stress & hypervigilance & even just rushing during eating with poor digestive outcomes, leading to the whole cascade of downstream metabolic issues. So the impact of chronic emotional dysregulation in childhood trauma survivors would have global effects in the realm of physical health as well. Really important!
I also want to look further into the distorting effects of iron deficiency anemia on HbA1C levels, as so many women (including myself!) tend in this direction.
Also the mention of akker mansia (sp?) producing short chain fatty acids- will look further into this as well.

Maria C de Nysschen says:
Great info, thank you.
It is amazing that the body gives us a heads up, so many years before a disease is to come, if we only understand labs and practice what we have learned.
Akkermansia is also interesting -regulating GLP-1 release and with less side effects. -

Sheri Porter says:
I will be looking into inositol for metabolic dysfunction as I am not currently using it. This was also a good reminder about Akkermansia species helping out with short chain fatty acid production

Debbie Kreuzer says:
Great insight into how the gut plays a role in insulin regulation and how motility can also affect insulin sensitivity.

Roxana Calafos says:
Good reminder to check c-peptide levels for further insight into metabolic dysfunction.

Betsy Cox says:
For me an important pearl in Tracy’s FB Live was EIP in the mouth, and the language, “the mouth is the top of the gut” Great wisdom to share with my clients!

Good discussion on the gut, short chain fatty acids, and the liver.

I learned eating hygiene chew, chew, chew, relax and enjoy for best digestion.

Always a great educational resource. And for this topic the take away of the role of lifestyle and the way Akkermansia, Berberine, can play a role. how about mullberry leaf?

Digestion begins in the mouth. Great reminder!

Bonnie Berke says:
WE start to see a subclinical increase in fasting insulin as much as 13 years before we see blood sugar levels fail and heading into Type 2 diabetes! The body adapts to the higher demands and the pancreas is stressed and working harder and harder to support us!
