In this podcast, the speaker shares their experience of eating 104 servings of avocado over 10 days and examines how it affected their blood work. They delve into their blood test results, focusing on key indicators of blood sugar control—like glucose, HbA1c, and insulin—as well as inflammation markers such as hsCRP, homocysteine, and ferritin, and cholesterol levels, including LDL particle count and size. The findings revealed only slight changes in blood sugar levels, but a notable decrease in inflammation and improvements in cholesterol, underscoring the health benefits of avocados and a diet rich in monounsaturated fats. The speaker also compares avocados to apples, pointing out that avocados have lower net carbs and sugar, making them a smarter choice for those with insulin resistance. Ultimately, they propose that incorporating avocados into your diet is a simple and cost-effective way to achieve benefits similar to those of a fasting-mimicking diet.
