In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that plays a major role in your overall health but is often overlooked: blood sugar balance. Whether you deal with energy crashes, intense sugar cravings, mood swings, brain fog, stubborn weight gain—or if something just feels “off” and you’re not sure what it is—your blood sugar could be the missing piece of the puzzle. Let's break down what blood sugar is, how it connects to everything (from metabolism and hormones to sleep and mood), and simple effective strategies to bring your body back into balance.
