TODAY’S  EPISODE

Can you really heal hypoglycemia while focusing on weight loss?

In today’s solo episode, Danielle Hamilton gets real about a common trap many women fall into: trying to lose weight while their blood sugar is crashing. With deep compassion and personal insight, she explains why focusing on traditional weight loss tactics—like fasting, under-eating, or over-exercising—can actually make hypoglycemia worse, not better.

Instead, Danielle outlines a powerful 3-pillar approach to healing:

1️⃣ Food and Movement

2️⃣ Light and Circadian Rhythm

3️⃣ Nervous System and Emotional Regulation

You’ll also hear about the updated Blood Sugar Mastery Fall 2025 Cohort, and how the program now includes even deeper work around mindset, trauma patterns, nervous system healing, and emotional resilience—along with the practical protocols Danielle is known for.

This episode is part science, part soul work, and fully packed with actionable insights to help you stabilize your blood sugar and finally feel like yourself again.
