One tool I recommend as part of the Lyon Protocol is a continuous glucose monitor. Available over the counter, this monitor provides real-time data that give a great picture of metabolic health. Experiment with this device to see exactly how your choices impact your metabolism. What levels are we looking for? For someone with healthy blood-sugar regulation, blood glucose should be 140 mg/dL or less, two hours after eating. Healthy fasting glucose levels run between 70 and 99 mg/dL.
