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.
WEBSITE: www.friendlypharmacy5.com
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 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.

@Carol-kj5eh Год назад

This was meant to go with the comment from “Fight Back Against Diabetes”. A great comment. Sorry I put it in the wrong place.

@ElliottBradenS 10 месяцев назад

Try broadening that outlook even more by acknowledging what we resist, persists and that we don't need to fight back, illness, viruses etc. That's a narrow euro centric fear based worldview.

@sonjah1913 Год назад

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.

@FriendlyPharmacy5 Год назад

Great points! I imagine the rocking chair movement might be most effective if the heal is reaching the ground each time. It will definitely be interesting to see more data in a larger cohort in future. I saw Dr. Huberman live last spring, definitely engaging and full of knowledge!

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.

@nisardar2652 Год назад

@siddiquinadeemA Год назад

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

@FriendlyPharmacy5 Год назад

The research here showed that they did the exercise for up to 270 minutes I believe, which probably isn’t practical for most people. I think the takeaway is that some movement, even seemingly as small as this calf raise can indeed have an impact. If I see any further information I will let you know.

Well, how about crossing the legs & doing the Soleus push ups with the "other" leg weight too.....plus, 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....

@FriendlyPharmacy5 Год назад

It’s an interesting thought. Leg weights as well, could possibly have a similar impact.

@iainmalcolm9583 Год назад

@HumanBeingWithFeelings Год назад

less than 5min of stepper after approximately 110min of any meal keep my postprandial glucose levels under 130 mg/dl. I thought I might share that with whoever is reading this and interested in the subject. However my fasting glucose level is normally around 110 mg/dl so there's something going on while I sleep. A video about this subject would be extremely useful. What causes the liver to release so much glucose at night time? why only the fasting glucose is high? Thanks for the video. Greetings from Spain 💙

@mballer Год назад

@@FriendlyPharmacy5 I haven't read about this for years but I know it's common. As I was sitting here just now cross legged and pumping my one foot... I was thinking.... It may be normal so your body has something to work with when first rising in the morning before any food is available... If I was designing a body I might do something like that... I'll be interested to hear what you find out.

@FriendlyPharmacy5 Год назад

Nice to see you are doing the calf raise! I will cover this mechanism regarding sugar and the liver in a future video for sure. There is a distinct mechanism and it’s part of the key signs of Type 2 diabetes.

@asarcadyn2414 Год назад

@@FriendlyPharmacy5 I think you are talking about the Dawn Effect. It has a context of whether you eat carbs or not.

@63rambler66 Год назад

4 hours??? Ridiculous. But it’s good news that a total of an hour can have more than a 10% effect.

@critiqueoflife Год назад

Another take on the situation: Since it is so bizarre that using this muscle would have this effect, why not, what-the-hell, investigate whether it is the flexing, actual contraction of the muscle that causes it, as opposed to working the muscle. If so, then a simple device could be constructed which would place a constantly rising/falling floorboard beneath the heel while sitting; effortless, automatic motion. No four hours of conscious effort required. Of course, the muscle would not be "worked," and if it is work that is required, no cigar. But it would seem that without resistance, very little "work" (F X D) is being performed, anyway. Just a thought.

@roxaneomalley6941 Год назад

What defines 'high blood sugar for a morning reading?

@tombolt6789 9 месяцев назад

Exactly how frequently should this exercise be done?

@97boundless Год назад

The video shows performing the soleus pushup at a slower, consistent pace. What about performing it more rapidly like those who bounce their legs while sitting?

@FriendlyPharmacy5 8 месяцев назад

I don’t have any literature on this, so I can’t say. I tend to think that some movement is usually better than none though. Thank you for the comment.

@cromo7743 Год назад

This proposed movement is quite slow. I find it easier, when sitting, to keep the heel slightly raised and let the leg shake, shake, at approximately 10Hz (10 times per second). The calf that produces this vibration. Este movimento proposto é bem lento. Acho mais fácil, ao sentar, ficar com o calcanhar ligeiramente levantado e deixar a perna tremer, tremer, a aproximadamente uns 10Hz (10 vezes por segundo). A batata da perna que produz esta vibração.

Clickbait. Seen this technique on several channels, and on all of them there are numerous people saying it does not work. I tried it myself as well. It does not work. People need to stop being lazy and get away from their desks once in a while, get a treadmill or stationary bike. People give away exercise equipment for free all the time on craigslist. Go get one and use it.

@FriendlyPharmacy5 11 месяцев назад

Great question. Blood sugar is measures in different units in Canada versus the US. Where are you from?

@judithcervizzi585 8 месяцев назад

When you say high blood sugar what would be considered high?

@FriendlyPharmacy5 8 месяцев назад

Great question. The unit of measure depends on where you live. Here in Canada a fasting glucose of higher than 7 is considered high. Before meals, a fasting glucose of between 4 and 7 mmol/l is considered optimal. These units of measure are different in the US.

@greg10016 Год назад

I agree with you completely. I had type 2 diabetes that is now in remission because of my low carbohydrate diet AKA Keto and even though my A1C is now 4.8 I am still insulin resistant because my morning blood sugar is around 115 but doing this exercise I do it a few times a day 10 minutes to clip but I also walk a mile a day in addition really helps me getting my insulin resistance under control and I can tell because my morning blood sugar is no longer 130. But the truth is as you said diet alone can be enough there are plenty of disabled people who lose weight I put diabetes in remission because of #properhumandiet

Seems to make no sense, but, so what? Lots of observed truths are counterintuitive. My question: Has anyone considered the idea of fatiguing this muscle by for example, heel raises with weights, or using your body as a weight on a stair, with some significantly shorter time of exercise. Because, that would be preferable to four hours, I presume, every day. That seems unsustainable.
