  • Summary

  • Is alcohol really a low carb, keto friendly substance like many ads and influencers claim, or is there more to it? Even if the glucose on your CGM (continuous glucose monitor) doesn't budge after a drink, there are real metabolic effects on glucose and body fat you should be aware of. Non-drinkers will benefit from this episode too since we cover some key metabolic principles, along with the following:

    • Quick overview of the metabolic merry-go-round and liver metabolism
    • Why your CGM glucose results may be normal or even low after drinking alcohol
    • Pathways by which alcohol affects glucose and body fat
    • The surprising impact of alcohol on muscle
    • How alcohol is disguised and advertised to be "metabolically neutral"
    • My personal approach to alcohol consumption
