Apeel Fruit Coating

Ann asks:

Hi Robb & Nikki I\u2019ve listen to you since the beginning and I\u2019ve been a fan of Robb\u2019s since he was with Loren Cordain. I have a question that is really bothering me. I try my hardest to do everything as healthy as I can afford and can physically manage, but lately, there\u2019s a lot of conversation about the new Fruit and vegetable coating that\u2019s called Apeel. I feel that this isn\u2019t safe, but what are you supposed to do if the only fruit and vegetable that you can find has that on it?? Have you researched this at all? I\u2019d be interested in what you\u2019d have to say

Type A personality and High-ish fasting glucose

Kelly writes:

Hi Robb! I\u2019m a fairly new listener (just started listening a few months ago - thank you for your super interesting range of topics!). I had a question after reading one short line in your book Wired to Eat. You mentioned that being Type A or \u201cwound tightly\u201d can lead to higher readings of fasting blood sugar. I personally would describe myself as Type A and always wake up with a rush of energy in the morning and an urge to \u201cget things done\u201d immediately. I also have a history of anxiety, although it\u2019s been amazingly managed with switching over to zero added sugar, zero grains and by getting great sleep.

Recently I\u2019ve been experimenting with my blood sugar to get a sense of where I\u2019m at. I test after meals (usually 1.5 hours) and my blood sugar is always around 77-100, depending on if I went on a walk after the meal or not. Typically it hovers on average at 86-90 postprandial. And from my understanding, the goal is to be under 120 by two hours. So these results seem great! But everytime I test my fasted blood sugar around 6am, it\u2019s on the \u201chigher\u201d side of normal - 89-95. Could this be due to my Type A personality as you mentioned in your book?

For reference: I\u2019m a 5\u20195\u201d 30 year old woman. I\u2019m very active (walk about 13-15,000 steps per day), go to the gym 4-5 days per week for resistance training. I eat lower carb, I don\u2019t eat grains, I get about 130 grams of protein per day (around 90-100 of that being from complete sources), I eat 1-2 servings of low sugar fruit per day, I\u2019m not shy on eating whole fats (but I don\u2019t track, so not entirely sure on what I eat per day - but I always eat until satisfied). In the past, my triglycerides were well under 100, usually around 70 ish and my blood pressure is about 100/65.

Thank you for your insight! I appreciate the way you reason things out.
