I Need to Lose Weight, Have Anxiety & Depression, Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, and My Energy Is Always Low… Could Fixing My Blood Sugar Help? | Episode 281

59 minutes

If you’re struggling with low energy, anxiety, depression, difficulty losing weight, and waking up in the middle of the night, you’re not alone—and it may all trace back to one thing: blood sugar.

In this episode of Light Up Your Metabolism, Danielle Hamilton breaks down how blood sugar imbalances affect your mood, metabolism, hormones, digestion, and sleep, even if your labs say you’re “normal.” She shares real client stories (and my own journey) to explain why symptoms like 3am wakeups, hanger, afternoon crashes, and constant cravings are signs your body is stuck in survival mode.

You’ll learn the biochemical chain reactions behind anxiety, irritability, and poor sleep, and how simple changes to how and when you eat can reset your blood sugar, reduce stress, and transform your mental and physical health.

If you’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told “just eat less and move more,” this episode will empower you to finally understand what’s really going on—and how to fix it.
