  • Exercise's Dual Role in Blood Sugar Management
    Jessica explains that endurance exercise can lower blood glucose, especially when glycogen is depleted. However, "high-intensity workouts may increase glucose due to hormones like epinephrine." Long-term exercise is positively linked to better blood sugar regulation, emphasizing its importance in metabolic health.
  • Dietitian Recommends Foods for Managing Health Conditions
    Jessica suggests whole grains for diabetes, fruits and vegetables for blood pressure, and healthy fats for cholesterol. For mental health, she advises an intuitive eating approach, stating, "By creating unnecessary restrictions we create more stress around food." These choices can help manage and prevent Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression/anxiety.
  • Optimal Dinner Timing: Insights from Dietitian Jessica DeGore
    Jessica advises eating dinner "3-4 hours before bedtime" to aid digestion and prevent sleep disruption. Eating too early or late can affect energy and sleep quality. For late workers, planning meals with protein and fiber during the day helps. Consistent dinner timing supports digestion and energy. If hungry at night, opt for light snacks like bananas with nuts or nut butter on rice cakes.
