SELF Members Live AMA Thursday, August 27, 6 PM PacificMembers only, about 30 minutes plus live questions Hi SELF Family, Tomorrow evening I go live in the members room. This is the smaller one, where I take fewer questions and go much deeper on each. Every question tomorrow came from you. I pulled 73 questions out of the comments on the last 11 videos, clustered them by how many different people asked the same thing, and then applied one rule: it only makes the list if I can answer it from...

SELF Newsletter Hi SELF Family, If your fasting glucose looks fine but your A1c keeps drifting upward, the hours after meals are usually where the drift is coming from. And if you already exercise, you have probably been told the answer is more of it. What the research points to is less about how much you move and more about when.
