Video 208: Control the Spikes - Don't Chase Perfection

Control the Spikes — Don’t Chase Perfection Many people believe better health requires extreme diets or perfect discipline. In reality, small, consistent changes in how we eat can quietly transform our metabolic health. In this short, science-based talk, I share simple strategies that help reduce unnecessary glucose and insulin spikes — an important step for anyone who is metabolically unhealthy, insulin resistant, overweight, or living with type 2 diabetes. You will learn: • Why controlling spikes matters more than chasing dietary perfection • How metabolic sequencing — eating protein, fibre, or healthy fats before carbohydrates — can soften glucose rises • The powerful second-meal effect, where a stabilising first intake improves the body’s response to the next meal • How periods without eating allow insulin levels to fall and support metabolic flexibility • Why stable glucose helps support calmer hormonal signalling and better satiety This is not about strict rules — it is about understanding how the body works and making informed, sustainable choices. Small shifts. Powerful physiology. Long-term benefits. Compiled by: Dr Siva Navaratnam MBBS, FFARACS, FANZCA (Retired Anaesthetist) ChatGPT — AI Education Partner
