The Podium
Welcome to The Podium, a production of Podium Sports Medicine. This discussion was created as a resource for the patients in our practice, where we have the pleasure of working with a small group of professional athletes and high-performing individuals from around the world. Our podcast dissects the principles of performance for our patients, and then disseminates pertinent, actionable information with them in mind.

Episode 3
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (or CGM) is a tool that we use with all of our patients at Podium, most of whom are not diabetic. This has proven to be a very powerful means of providing instant feedback into the body's response to certain variables. Food obviously plays a very important role in one's glucose response and metabolism, but the context around that diet is key as well. Exercise, sleep, and stress all impact glucose response.
In this episode we review some general use cases for CGM and talk about how we find value in these measurements for our patients.
