Hi, I'm Doctor Ron Sinha.
As medical director for Sutter Health's Metabolic Wellness program.
I get asked a lot of questions about how metabolism affects your health.
How do I improve my energy throughout the day?
Can I reduce my risk for diabetes?
Can I feel better for my workouts?
Should I do low carb intermittent fasting or eat plant based?
Can I slow down or reverse my diabetes without drugs?
I get these types of questions a lot and I will tell you the continuous glucose
monitor or CGM has been a game changer for patients in my clinical practice.
It puts your glucose data at their fingertips and motivates them to take
charge of their health in ways they frankly wouldn't have otherwise.
I've used it as a tool to support super motivated health enthusiasts who want to
dig deep into their glucose data to optimize performance,
for people who are worried about their future risk of developing a condition
like diabetes or heart disease, and for individuals who already have type
2 diabetes or a related condition.
Now how is this program different from most other Wellness programs?
1st is the continuous glucose monitor or CGM.
You'll wear it on your body and it reads your blood sugar data 24/7.
It shows you what your food and activities are doing to your body in real
time so you can make the right lifestyle choices without the guesswork.
Now the second differentiator is our content.
Our portal features cutting edge content based on years of experience that teaches
you how to use the sensor, how to set goals that work for you,
how to interpret your data, and how to make the most effective
lifestyle changes.
By the end of the program, you will feel comfortable and confident.
Using the sensor is your own personal lifestyle coach,
and like many of our past participants, you may choose to continue using the
Sensor even after the program is complete.
The third differentiator, we are a healthcare system and not a one
off product or service.
So we can connect you to clinical resources or other programs to support
your health needs.
Whether it's connecting you to a primary care doctor if you don't have one or
guiding you to more intensive weight loss programs to a specialist or someone
trained in integrative or holistic health.
When it comes to nutrition, whether you eat keto or plant based,
or you eat a specific ethnic cuisine, you can use the CGM as a guide to improve
blood sugar health.
Now, through our group seminars, we will teach you core concepts around
nutrition that everyone can use to make over their diets in a way that suits
their preferences.
But that's not all.
We'll also cover exercise, stress and sleep as major contributors to
metabolic health.
You'll be surprised at the often significant impact of these non nutrition
factors on your glucose data.
This is often a wake up call for participants to take these factors far
more seriously.
I'm proud to be partnered with a team of clinicians who understand metabolic
health and are experienced in using glucose sensors.
Together, we'll be guiding you through group
webinars that are engaging, informative, and practical,
covering core topics like nutrition basics, fasting, exercise, and more.
Stabilizing and optimizing blood sugar levels could have profound effects on
other aspects of health.
Optimal glucose control can support weight loss for many participants by
curbing tendencies to overeat and by reducing body fat storage.
However, some participants may have weight issues
due to causes other than blood sugar and may need additional support outside of
our program.
A stable blood sugar also lowers your risk of developing common health
conditions like diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
Join our program so you can use this powerful tool to help you reach your own
health goals.
