In today's episode, I delve into the complexity of understanding blood sugar levels beyond just food intake.

The episode offers insights into a deeper understanding of blood sugars and hints at a forthcoming mastermind group focused on CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) and overcoming insulin resistance.
