In this powerful conversation, Karen Martel interviews blood sugar expert Danielle Hamilton about one of the most common yet misunderstood midlife symptoms: waking up at 2–4AM and being unable to fall back asleep.

If you’ve been told your nighttime wakeups are “just hormones,” “just stress,” or “just insomnia,” this episode will be a game-changer.

Dani breaks down:
• why midlife women suddenly struggle with late-night blood sugar crashes
• the difference between true hypoglycemia and metabolic hypoglycemia
• how insulin, leptin, cortisol, and light exposure shape your overnight blood sugar
• why keto helped you… until it didn’t
• how seasonal eating, fat/carb balance, and circadian biology affect sleep
• the emotional + nervous system patterns common in people with hypoglycemia
• why band-aids (snacks, progesterone, supplements) help temporarily but not long-term
• the surprising role of histamine, stress addiction, and mitochondrial overload
• what to do during the day to fix what’s happening at night

This is one of the most comprehensive, compassionate explanations you will ever hear about nighttime wakeups, and why the “eat a snack before bed” advice is only a short-term fix.
