If you’ve ever been told to “just cut carbs” or that you can’t enjoy bananas or nuts because of your blood sugar or kidney health—this episode is going to blow your mind.

Today, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian Jessie Carpenter, who’s spent over a decade helping people with diabetes and kidney conditions eat with confidence and food freedom—not fear.

We’re busting some of the biggest myths around diabetes and kidney diets, including:
 🍞 Why carbs aren’t the enemy (and how to actually balance them)
 🥑 The truth about potassium, phosphorus, and foods like bananas, nuts, and potatoes
 🧠 Why so many women struggling with hormone imbalances and irregular cycles also deal with blood sugar crashes, cravings, and fatigue

We also dive into how blood sugar affects your hormones—especially cortisol, insulin, and reproductive health—and simple ways to stabilize it so you can feel energized, calm, and in control again.

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt confused by nutrition “rules” or wondered how your blood sugar could be impacting your metabolism, mood, and menstrual cycle.
