In this video, we’re going to talk about the process of gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis is a process or pathway in which the body makes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. Your body does not need carbohydrates because it can make carbohydrates from the protein and lipids that you consume.

Gluconeogenesis prevents hypoglycemia and helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels between meals, and also when you’re fasting.

Nearly all of the cells in your body can run on ketones except for certain cells in the eye, a small part of your brain, and your red blood cells. Through the process of gluconeogenesis, your body can supply these cells with glucose.
