Episode 266: Why is my A1C Elevated?

Are you experiencing an elevated A1C despite your keto diet? Want to know the reasons beyond excessive carbohydrate consumption that your A1C could be elevated? Looking to lower your blood sugar using food as medicine? Tune in to learn what hemoglobin A1C measures, how to interpret fasting and postprandial blood glucose, and how A1C can be elevated based on a multitude of reasons from gum disease to stress and beyond.

In this episode, we break down different ways of assessing blood sugar and how to troubleshoot an elevated A1C value. Even on a squeaky clean keto diet, factors such as gut health, sleep, and inflammation can drive your blood sugar out of whack. Learn how to recognize the cause of your elevated A1C and how to get it under control from the root cause using diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategy.
