About this listen

A talk with a celebrated blood sugar specialist - Jane’s special guest is Pamela Nisevich Bede, a world-renowned expert in sports dietetics. Pam’s mission is to translate the complex science of nutrition and metabolism into tangible and practical advice to inspire others to change their habits and improve their health. That's why she partnered with Abbott Labs on Lingo, a state-of-the-art, wearable device that measures how blood glucose levels respond to food, exercise, and other lifestyle factors. Important for all of us to know since glucose fuels our bodies, from our brain to our muscles. For her part, when not busy encouraging others to reach for better health and performance via better nutrition, Pam, a mother of three, writes best-selling books and has competed in twenty-nine (yes!) marathons. On this segment, Pam and Jane talk about the impact of glucose on energy, mood, and chronic disease prevention and what we should strive for to avoid “spikes and crashes.” She also imparts practical advice for eating balanced meals, anti-stress tips and tools, and the latest health and wellness research that will keep listeners looking and feeling Better Than Before.
