Have you ever wondered how exercise influences your blood sugar response after consuming carbohydrates? For this video, I used a continuous glucose monitor to find out how a combination of different types of physical activity — such as powerlifting, CrossFit, biking and walking — and raw honey impact my blood glucose levels. In other words, I wanted to find out if any of those exercises would lead to a lower blood sugar spike.

To make things even more interesting, I varied the timing of my honey consumption. For some of the experiments, I had two tablespoons of honey before performing the physical activity. In some cases, I had the honey in between workouts. And in other cases, I had it at the end.

In a previous video, I teamed up with Levels Health — the company behind the continuous glucose monitoring platform I use — to see how exercise influences how my body responds to glucose after consuming a can of regular Coke.

To my surprise, I was the only participant in that experiment that received no benefit from exercising after drinking a can of Coke. Essentially, my blood sugar response didn't improve after physical activity, while everyone else experienced lowered blood sugar levels after exercise.

So for this video, I wanted to guide you through my experience of recreating this experiment with raw honey instead of Coke.

While the initial data appeared to confirm the findings from my previous experiment, I dug deeper using the Levels Health app and was shocked by the findings.
