Episode 4-All about Blood Sugar

Blood sugar isn't just a diabetes topic. It's one of the most foundational pieces of hormone health, and most of us are walking around with it off without knowing it.

In this episode, Sam and Sandy break down blood sugar 101: the signs yours might be unbalanced (energy crashes, 3pm cravings, wired-but-tired nights), what drives insulin resistance (from gut health and stress to sleep and the chemicals in everyday products), and how insulin talks to your ovaries and shapes your cycle, ovulation, and PMS. We explain it with a delivery driver analogy, plus why the same sweet potato can spike your blood sugar in your luteal phase and barely register in your follicular phase (and why that's not a personal failing).

We also tease Part 2, where we both strap on CGMs, compare two different brands, and share what we learn.
