Learn more about the program with Dr. Ron Sinha.","duration":"PT4M34S","transcript":"Hi, I'm Doctor Ron Sinha.\nAs medical director for Sutter Health's Metabolic Wellness program.\nI get asked a lot of questions about how metabolism affects your health.\nHow do I improve my energy throughout the day?\nCan I reduce my risk for diabetes?\nCan I feel better for my workouts?\nShould I do low carb intermittent fasting or eat plant based?\nCan I slow down or reverse my diabetes without drugs?\nI get these types of questions a lot and I will tell you the continuous glucose\nmonitor or CGM has been a game changer for patients in my clinical practice.\nIt puts your glucose data at their fingertips and motivates them to take\ncharge of their health in ways they frankly wouldn't have otherwise.\nI've used it as a tool to support super motivated health enthusiasts who want to\ndig deep into their glucose data to optimize performance,\nfor people who are worried about their future risk of developing a condition\nlike diabetes or heart disease, and for individuals who already have type\n2 diabetes or a related condition.\nNow how is this program different from most other Wellness programs?\n1st is the continuous glucose monitor or CGM.\nYou'll wear it on your body and it reads your blood sugar data 24/7.\nIt shows you what your food and activities are doing to your body in real\ntime so you can make the right lifestyle choices without the guesswork.\nNow the second differentiator is our content.\nOur portal features cutting edge content based on years of experience that teaches\nyou how to use the sensor, how to set goals that work for you,\nhow to interpret your data, and how to make the most effective\nlifestyle changes.\nBy the end of the program, you will feel comfortable and confident.\nUsing the sensor is your own personal lifestyle coach,\nand like many of our past participants, you may choose to continue using the\nSensor even after the program is complete.\nThe third differentiator, we are a healthcare system and not a one\noff product or service.\nSo we can connect you to clinical resources or other programs to support\nyour health needs.\nWhether it's connecting you to a primary care doctor if you don't have one or\nguiding you to more intensive weight loss programs to a specialist or someone\ntrained in integrative or holistic health.\nWhen it comes to nutrition, whether you eat keto or plant based,\nor you eat a specific ethnic cuisine, you can use the CGM as a guide to improve\nblood sugar health.\nNow, through our group seminars, we will teach you core concepts around\nnutrition that everyone can use to make over their diets in a way that suits\ntheir preferences.\nBut that's not all.\nWe'll also cover exercise, stress and sleep as major contributors to\nmetabolic health.\nYou'll be surprised at the often significant impact of these non nutrition\nfactors on your glucose data.\nThis is often a wake up call for participants to take these factors far\nmore seriously.\nI'm proud to be partnered with a team of clinicians who understand metabolic\nhealth and are experienced in using glucose sensors.\nTogether, we'll be guiding you through group\nwebinars that are engaging, informative, and practical,\ncovering core topics like nutrition basics, fasting, exercise, and more.\nStabilizing and optimizing blood sugar levels could have profound effects on\nother aspects of health.\nOptimal glucose control can support weight loss for many participants by\ncurbing tendencies to overeat and by reducing body fat storage.\nHowever, some participants may have weight issues\ndue to causes other than blood sugar and may need additional support outside of\nour program.\nA stable blood sugar also lowers your risk of developing common health\nconditions like diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.\nJoin our program so you can use this powerful tool to help you reach your own\nhealth goals."} ```
