In this podcast, we do a deep dive into using Continuous Glucose Monitoring, or CGM, technology as a brand new way to support weight loss and metabolic health with guest Lauren Sambataro. Lauren is a highly sought-after functional nutrition and fitness expert who specializes in using Continuous Glucose Monitoring to help clients optimize their weight, hormones, energy, sleep and exercise performance. She is also the creator of Biohacker Babes, a podcast that guides listeners how to “biohack” their own lives.

I use CGM technology with my coaching clients, and I’m currently using it to help me lose 10 pounds before my 50th birthday in February–which is why I am so excited to discuss with Lauren how all of this works.
