So many women in midlife are doing everything right (eating clean, exercising, managing stress) yet still feeling off. The missing link? Blood sugar.

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Boris Berjan to explore how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is changing the way women understand their metabolism, hormones, and energy.

We talk about why most CGMs give you numbers without context, how Theia translates those readings into clear daily scores, and the hidden ways stress, sleep, and even emotional triggers can spike glucose just like food.

You’ll learn how to spot early signs of blood sugar imbalance, how syncing your fasting and nutrition with your cycle can help balance hormones, and why data only matters when it’s personal and easy to act on.

Boris Berjan is the co-founder of Theia Health, a company reimagining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for women. He also shares his own healing journey and how it inspired him to build tech that puts real insight and power back into women’s hands.

What’s Discussed:

(00:00) Why midlife symptoms aren’t just hormonal and how glucose plays a hidden role

(04:49) The real reason most CGMs fail women in midlife

(08:55) A personal story that inspired a smarter health tech

(18:26) How this app turns confusing glucose data into simple, actionable insights

(25:41) The role of AI in making nutrition and tracking more personal and easier

(35:10) How stress, sleep, and emotions can spike glucose like carbs

Most women don’t realize that brain fog, weight gain, anxiety, low libido, and fatigue in their 30s or 40s can be early signs of perimenopause — not just stress or aging.

Did you know that even organic meat can contain hidden toxins like heavy metals and hormone-disrupting residues?

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Chad Wall, fifth generation regenerative farmer and founder of Proven Proteins, to reveal what most people don’t know about their protein and why clean eating starts with clean soil.

We explore how conventional agriculture strips our food of nutrients, how misleading labels like “organic” and “grass-fed” often hide inflammatory ingredients, and what it really takes to raise protein that supports your hormones, energy, and longevity.

Chad shares why his fermented beef sticks serve as a gut-friendly, kid-approved alternative to typical snacks, and how anyone, yes, even on a budget, sources better meat that truly nourishes.

Chad Wall is the founder of Ripley Cove Farms and Proven Proteins, a regenerative farming operation focused on nutrient-dense meat, soil restoration, and conscious food systems. With deep roots in agriculture and a mission to create transparency in the protein space, Chad leads the charge in redefining what clean protein really means, from farm to label to plate.

Did you know that using peptides the wrong way can actually decrease their effectiveness, and that most people are missing the foundational steps that make them work?

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Sarah Morgan, clinical nutritionist and founder of InstaMed, to explore how peptides truly function, when to use them, and why cycling is the key to long-term effectiveness.

We also break down why “more” isn’t always better, how to recognize peptide burnout, and why lifestyle, hormones, and supplements should support each other, not compete.

Most people think Crohn’s is all about pain. But what if the real issue is inflammation you can’t feel, and what if healing it doesn’t have to start with pharmaceuticals?

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with my 13-year-old son, Brandon, to talk about his journey with Crohn’s disease, from diagnosis at age 8 to trying every healing modality under the sun: liquid diets, Ayurveda, stool testing, peptides, and more. We dive into what it’s really like to manage a chronic condition as a kid, why his labs looked terrible even when he felt fine, and how one immune-modulating peptide changed everything.

Brandon shares his unfiltered perspective on mindset, medical systems, and what it’s like to be the kid who brings beetroot crystals and Kate Farms to school lunch. Whether you’re a parent, a practitioner, or just curious about what’s possible outside of conventional care, this conversation is honest, surprising, and full of insights that could shift how you think about inflammation and healing.

Brandon Berger is a 13-year-old student, foodie, and wellness warrior who was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at age 8. Since then, he’s taken on everything from liquid diets and Ayurvedic treatments to peptides and personalized gut protocols, with resilience, humor, and zero drama.
