Gymnema sylvestre: Sugar Destroyer & Sweetness Blocker? (Part 1) - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

This is the first video in a 2-part series on Gymnema Sylvestre. It's been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for glucose control. We go into a little of this herb's history, use background, description, and safety/side effects. The herb seems to block sugar & sweet receptors on the tongue, in the gut, and maybe even in the bloodstream, suggesting an application for weight loss and diabetes. But is it safe? Is it effective?
