#598: How Do Exercise & Diet Interact to Improve Glycaemic Control? – Jenna Gillen, PhD
Dr. Jenna Gillen, an exercise physiologist studying how movement and nutrition shape glucose metabolism. She discusses why brief post-meal activity blunts glucose spikes. She outlines low-volume interval training and tiny “exercise snacks” as time-efficient strategies. She explains who benefits most and how meal timing, carbs, and energy balance change outcomes.
