Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. The Importance of Blood Sugar Stability: Blood sugar stability is foundational to overall health. When blood sugar fluctuates, it disrupts energy, mood, fat loss, inflammation, and long-term disease risk.

2. Ultra-Processed Foods & Health Risks: Research involving 9 million people found a 21–25% higher risk of all-cause mortality, up to a 50% higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and a 30–50% higher risk of type 2 diabetes among high consumers. Every 10% increase in calories from ultra-processed foods was linked to a 12% increase in mortality risk.

3. Sleep & Mortality: Sleep regularity may matter more than total sleep time. A UK study found that irregular sleepers had a 53% higher risk of all-cause mortality, along with significantly higher cardiovascular and cancer risk. Even getting seven hours of sleep at consistent times each night can meaningfully reduce risk. Consistency is key.
