The Glucose Glow Up Show

Surprise… I'm pregnant! 💛

After taking a break during the first trimester because of nausea and fatigue, I'm finally back with a life update—and a look at what has changed (and what hasn't) during this pregnancy.

This episode isn't just about pregnancy. It's about navigating a new season of life while continuing to prioritize health in a way that feels sustainable. From glucose tracking to hydration, movement, nutrition, and building a support system, I'm sharing the shifts I've made and why they're working for me.

If you've ever wondered how to adapt your health habits when life changes, I hope this conversation reminds you that health doesn't have to look the same in every season.

In this episode, we cover:

•  🤰 The surprise I've been keeping and where I've been the past few months 
•  📈 What my glucose patterns have looked like during pregnancy 
•  💧 Why hydration has become a bigger priority (and what I'm drinking) 
•  🥗 How my approach to food has shifted—more convenience, less perfection 
•  💊 My updated supplement routine and why I started it before pregnancy 
•  🏋️ How I've modified CrossFit and prioritized pelvic floor physical therapy 
•  🩺 Why I chose midwifery care, a doula, and low-dose aspirin 
•  👩‍💼 How running my own business has changed my stress and daily routine 
•  🤝 The importance of leaning on the community and village I've built over the past four years 
•  ❤️ The health habits I've kept the same, including glucose tracking, movement, and blood pressure monitoring 
•  🌱 Why every season of life calls for a different approach to health 

Whether you're pregnant, trying to conceive, navigating a busy season, or simply looking for practical ways to support your health, I hope this episode encourages you to work with your body instead of against it.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to balance health, glucose, and family fun while on vacation. No highlight reels here—just the messy, imperfect, and sustainable way I approach travel.

You’ll hear how I prepped, what I packed, and how I handled not-so-glucose-friendly meals (hello, pizza and fries!) without guilt.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How I prepped snacks and meals ahead of time 
• Why I prioritize protein and veggies—even while traveling
• The reality of eating out on vacation (and how I handle “less than perfect” choices)
• How to keep glucose in check without feeling restricted
• Why balance matters more than perfection for long-term health
• What worked (and what totally didn’t!) on this trip

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a family vacation, or just curious how to travel without throwing your glucose out of balance, this episode will give you practical tips—and permission to embrace imperfection.

You’ve heard it everywhere—"eat more protein!" Protein helps build muscle, keeps you full, and supports longevity. So naturally, we grab protein bars. They’re quick, easy, and usually pack in anywhere from 10 - 20 grams of protein.

But here’s the deal: just because something has protein doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

I’ve fallen into the trap too. When I first started optimizing my glucose, I’d scan shelves for anything that hit my protein target. But what I didn’t realize then was that most of these bars come with baggage—like processed ingredients, artificial sweeteners, high glycemic carbs, and junk oils.

So today, I want to break this down:

• What to look for on the ingredient panel
• The carb-to-protein ratio that actually matters
• What protein bar I like
• How I think food marketing is taking advantage of the gym goers or everyday people who need to hit protein goals
