He is a professor of cell biology and physiology at Brigham Young University. In our discussion, we explore inflammation, how it changes with aging, and how muscle serves as both an endocrine and a metabolic organ. We unpack glucose physiology, how it drives inflammation in the body, and examine the effects of glycation and the changes it causes in our eyes, immune systems, nerves, skin, and bones. Dr. Reynolds explains his “rules” for glucose balancing and the benefits of micro-dosing with GLP-1s, or starting with a minimal dose and increasing it slowly. We also discuss cravings and gender differences in men and women, and share practical strategies that everyone can use. I am looking forward to recording another podcast episode with Dr. Reynolds later this year, when his new book comes out. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Chronic inflammation as the root of many modern health issues Muscle loss with aging and its link to inflammation and glycation How excess glucose fuels free radicals, glycation, and inflammation What glycation is and why it damages the body Lifestyle habits that disrupt glucose balance and drive inflammation Supporting natural GLP-1 through diet and lifestyle Fasting and smart carb intake for insulin sensitivity Menopause, autoimmunity, and chronic disease risk Long-term consequences of glycation for the eyes, skin, bones, immune system, and nerves Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow Cynthia’s Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!
