Can tracking your blood sugar help you beat the bloat — without cutting carbs or going on a restrictive diet?
In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I wore a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for two weeks and tracked how my body responded to food, exercise, sleep, and stress. From unexpected blood sugar spikes to discovering that a controversial breakfast choice didn’t spike me at all, this experiment was full of surprises — and tons of insight.
I’ll walk you through:
- What a CGM is and how it works
- Why CGMs can be helpful for anyone, not just diabetics
- My biggest takeaways (like how I reduced a big blood sugar spike by tweaking my meal order + movement)
- Why you don’t need a CGM to balance your blood sugar or reduce bloating
- The simple habits I now swear by to feel more energized, less bloated, and more in control of my cravings
If you’re participating in my Bloat-Free Summer Challenge, this episode will help you connect the dots between blood sugar and bloat — and give you even more motivation to stick with the habits we're practicing this week!
