Lower Blood Sugar at Home Easily for FREE

In this episode we discuss a simple and effective way to improve glucose metabolism for free from the comfort of your own home. This ground-breaking study looked at how people who are largely sedentary, can increase the utilization and clearance of glucose from the bloodstream more efficiently.

The study from the University of Houston demonstrated how the human soleus muscle can increase local oxidative metabolism to high levels for hours without fatigue, resulting in significant improvements in glucose metabolism. This is a simple but effective way to improve your metabolism while sitting that almost anyone can do, at almost any time, for free.

I would like to thank you .That is the best explanation on type 2 diabetes that I’ve heard in the past 5 years, since I’ve developed Diabetes. Thanks.❤

[Leti]

I'm a seamstress and do this movement constantly when stepping on the sewing machine pedal to run the machine. So, though I have a sedentary job, it's beneficial. Wow!

[hankb]

Soleus push up's are easy to do seated at a computer !! Appreciate your clear explanation of how a1c is affected.

[Carol-kjeh]

I agree with this. A great comment. I do not like being identified with being a diabetic as it is not who I am. I have diabetes. My daughter has MS. We don’t call her a Multiple Sclerosic. My husband had cancer. We didn’t call him a canceric. And so on and so on. We all chose and choose to fight back against our diseases and not be identified with them as who we are.

[myrachurchman]

Definitely will be using this on long bus trips around BC, thank you.

[sonjah]

Thank you for sharing. I love Dr Huberman and listen to many of his facinating podcasts. Your short video makes easier it easier to share to those unlikely to listen to his longer podcasts. It seems this we would be easy to track by people who regularly test their blood sugar. For me, the main issue is forgeting to do these simple pushups. If I'm sitting in a rocking chair it is easy to do and remember. I wonder if this rocking is as effective as I imagine the chair action would make the motion slightly easier. I hope people who regularly test their blood sugar will report on their results.

Amazing, My husband has diabetes, I'll tell him about this. Thank you.

[WWarthog]

How about a companion video about how to reduce chronic high insulin? My BG runs around 80-90 (non-diabetic), but my fasting insulin is 19. Currently ketovore/carnivore and IF.

[johnmclane]

Thank you so much for your explanations of how the body is supposed to regulate sugars. VERY informative. I will try these exercises to see if they can help controlling my blood sugar, but I am a skinny man and don't need a faster metabolism. I am actually trying to gain weight and am not sure how to do that effectively. Any tips would be very helpful.

[Dr.NadeemSiddiqui]

Great informative post . But One thing that I would like to ask is as how long one should do this exercise. Kindly guide in that respect as well. Regards

[larrydominguez]

Wow.... that's a great improvement excercise... thanks.

[birkaxay]

Yet another very informative and concise video. On a personal note, I have been on SGLT2 (empa-Jardiance) for 3 years now (2.5 as part of a double 'blind' study) and it has been a miracle drug for me (10 mg/day) with none-to-negligible side effect. Always consult your physician, but from what i can see in the future, with current eating trends/habits, this will be another 'aspirin' type of medication.

[maureenbrophy]

This is so interesting I was so interested in the foot movement. Tks

[МаринаРыженко-дз]

Thank you for a very interesting video. I am a pharmacist from Ukraine. The exercise is excellent.

[Kikichi]

does doing soleus pushups for 30 minutes per day has any effect in reducing blood glucose? Thnx

[nelled]

Thank you for your excellent teaching. I'm glad that you make it clear that you are talking about type 2 diabetes

[patphares]

Thank you thank you!!! Starting immediately…. ❤❤😊

[tombolt]

Exactly how frequently should this exercise be done?

[J_]

Well, how about crossing the legs & doing the Soleus push ups with the "other" leg weight one push up cycle should be lifting from the ball of the foot & lifting the toes from the heel too??? Maybe the 270 minutes/day could be reduced to get the "desired" results??? Just a thought....
