Episode 232- CGM Secrets: How I Got My Blood Sugar into the 80s (Without More Fasting!)


Listen Later

Episode Summary: Most women think their high morning blood sugar is from what they ate the night before—or not fasting long enough. But after tracking her own numbers with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), I discovered that the real culprits were much deeper.

In this solo episode, I share how I brought her fasting blood sugar back to normal (hello 70s and 80s!), and what truly made the difference. This episode is for any woman who's tried "everything" and still feels stuck with stubborn glucose spikes.
