Ep. 23 - Seaweed Extract Uniquely Slows Carbohydrate Digestion with Jocelyn Berube



Welcome back to the Nature City Podcast! In today's episode, Carl is joined by Jocelyn Berube as they dive into the important topic of metabolic and glycemic health.

You’ll hear about the fascinating research with a special brown seaweed extract called InSea2 that uniquely slows down the digestion of carbohydrates like starch and sugar. This helps reduce the post-meal spike in blood sugar and supports healthier blood sugar metabolism – which is crucial to many aspects of healthy aging. 
 
We also discuss another nutrient found to complement the effects of InSea2 to support the function of insulin in the body and help you maintain good metabolic health. This impacts weight management, cardiovascular health, cognitive function and more.
 
InSea2 is particularly valuable to take when eating outside the home when you may not know about carbs and sugars added to prepared foods.
 
So, grab your headphones and let's unravel how the wonders of nature can benefit our health and how well we live, on the NatureCity Podcast!
