But zone two is a sweet spot where my glucose level always falls precipitously. I shouldn't say precipitously, steadily and consistently.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And there's no better way to stimulate that than zone two.
can zone 2 improve insulin independent uptake after a meal yes it most certainly does in fact i notice that after a zone 2 my carbohydrate tolerance is really at its highest
the more zone two you do the better you are able to do both glucose pardon me insulin sensitive and insulin independent glucose uptake so this makes for very efficient mitochondria when it comes to glucose disposal and and that's really one of the hallmarks of metabolic health
the type of physiologic exercise that we're prescribing that Zone 2 exercise is the way to measure mitochondrial function it's both the treatment and the test
on the other hand zone two training you know for which is you know doing a more um moderate intensity exercise that's sustained for a longer duration does lead to an increase in mitochondrial content
