+<br>In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is an engineer with expertise in metabolic dysfunction. Josh Clemente co-founded Levels Health, a company that has designed a biowearable continuous glucose monitoring device. The idea of using blood glucose, which is a marker for how much of the most common energy is available in the blood right now and  [[Redirect-302]](http://www.parmentier.de/cgi-bin/link.cgi?http://Argument-vologda.ru/url/go/aHR0cDovL3d3dzdhLmJpZ2xvYmUubmUuanAvJTdFR29raWJ1cmkvZmFudGFzeS9mYW50YXN5LmNnaT8lNUR1cyVGRm1vdQ) how good is your body at regulating it, is a real-time feedback thing. When he was working at SpaceX, he discovered his metabolic dysfunction and high glucose levels were making him feel like garbage. He read about continuous glucose monitoring, and shortly thereafter found out he was borderline pre-diabetic, despite being a CrossFit trainer at the time and having a healthy diet. Over 120 million people in the U. S. have prediabetes or diabetes, and most American adults don’t know even they’re prediabetic. Most people don’t know their glucose levels unless they find out at an annual doctor’s appointment. Using Levels technology, we can change that.<br>

+<br>"If our population isn’t resilient enough to have an immune system that can fight viral infections because it is frankly undermined or hampered by insulin resistance and all of the byproducts thereof, we won’t ever get there," Josh says. [Continuous glucose](https://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/search/?q=Continuous%20glucose) monitoring is crossing a barrier in health monitoring because it’s going below the skin "to an invisible metric that we otherwise wouldn’t have access to" Josh explains. Biowearables is a brand-new space. Our conversation walks you through how the Levels app works, the urban myths behind "heart healthy" foods, and how tracking your glucose levels can get you better in tune with what your body really needs. "The data set is a means to changing the future of metabolic health by driving large scale research and helping us to understand how people are living, what is improving outcomes, and where the opportunity is to remove the biggest offenders for worse health," Josh says.

+<br>If you are evaluating what organic allulose is and how it works, the next question is inevitable: what does it actually do inside the body? Sweetness without consequence sounds appealing, but formulators, healthcare professionals, and informed consumers want evidence - not marketing language. This article walks through the current scientific understanding of allulose and its effects on blood sugar, insulin, calorie intake, kidney function, liver metabolism, gut tolerance, and long-term safety. Every claim here traces back to published research or regulatory determinations. Allulose has a glycemic index of approximately zero. It does not raise blood glucose and does not trigger a meaningful insulin response. This is not a marginal effect - it is a consistent finding across clinical trials. A double-blind crossover study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology demonstrated that 5 g of allulose consumed with a meal significantly reduced postprandial blood glucose elevation compared to the same meal without allulose.<br>
+
+<br>The mechanism appears to involve GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) stimulation: allulose encourages the release of this incretin hormone, which in turn slows gastric emptying and enhances insulin sensitivity. For food formulators, this means organic allulose sweetener can serve a functional role beyond sweetness - it actively helps blunt the glycemic impact of other carbohydrates in a formulation. For diabetic-friendly product claims, this is a meaningful differentiator. It is worth emphasizing that allulose does not lower blood sugar below normal levels. It moderates the spike. The effect is stabilizing, not hypoglycemic. Sugar delivers roughly 4 kcal per gram. Allulose delivers approximately 0.4 kcal per gram - about 90% fewer calories. The reason is straightforward: the human body largely cannot metabolize it. Unlike [GlycoMode glucose support](https://www.brickapedia.com/User:TraceeTrainor01), which is readily [absorbed](https://www.thefashionablehousewife.com/?s=absorbed) and oxidized for energy, allulose passes through metabolic pathways inefficiently. Most of what is absorbed is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine within 24 to 48 hours.<br>
