June 06, 2025 Beat The Spike Weekly - Episode: The Postpartum Metabolism Rollercoaster
Welcome to Beat The Spike Weekly! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the hormonal and metabolic chaos that often follows childbirth — even when everything seems normal on the surface.
From sudden glucose spikes and energy crashes to silent shifts in insulin sensitivity, postpartum is anything but a metabolic reset. It’s a rollercoaster — and most people are riding it blindfolded.
We unpack:
Why postpartum blood sugar can swing unpredictably
How breastfeeding affects metabolism
The often-missed “silent risk zone” for non-diabetic women
Simple, doable tips that make a difference when energy is low
Whether you’re recovering from birth or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with real talk, actionable advice, and a whole lot of empathy.
