Fiteracy Mini Education Sessions: The Yellow Spikes Diagram and Insulin
The first video in this series outlines the Yellow Spikes Program which depicts how insulin assists with the management of blood glucose.
This diagram will assist participants with gaining a foundation understanding of the role of insulin in energy management and transfer.
Insulin resistance, occurs when insulin becomes less effective at maintaining blood glucose levels which in turn may lead to diabetes and/or impaired cognition as we age.

Fiteracy Mini Education Sessions: The Postman Diagram and Understanding Blood Glucose and Insulin
The second video in this series outlines the Postman Video. In this short 3 minute video, we use the analogy of a postman delivering parcels at your door all day and the stress the receiver goes through to find a use for these parcels.

Fiteracy Mini Education Session: Metabolic Health and Brain Health
How does insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome affect overall health.
Our passion at BrainFit is to assist our participants with increasing their knowledge around brain health and the relationship between metabolic health and brain health.
We encourage our participants to maintain optimal metabolic health to assist with the prevention of brain fuel dysfunction.
Fiteracy Mini Education Sessions: The Whipper Snipper Diagram and Insulin Resistance
The whipper snipper diagram is an a diagram I use in the Brainfit program to assist people with a visualisation of how hard the body is working to maintain adequate blood glucose levels and the wear and tear on the body when blood glucose levels are continuously elevated
