62: I tracked my blood sugar for 30 days (with a CGM) and was SHOCKED at what I learned

I wore a continuous glucose monitor and tracked my blood sugar real time for 30 days…and I learned SO much!! Do all these blood sugar “hacks” you see on social media really do anything? I found out and I’m sharing everything I learned with you in this episode. I was truly shocked at my body’s response to certain foods and my health feels stronger than ever after I made some tweaks based on my data throughout the month.    I discuss… My personal reasons for tracking my blood sugar for a month  What is a CGM? How do glucose and insulin work? Optimal ranges to aim for with glucose, insulin, triglycerides, and HA1C on blood panels Optimal ranges to stay between on a CGM What is insulin resistance? How insulin resistance affects your health The dangers of massive blood sugar spikes Why we don’t want to have “flat” blood sugar on a CGM Misconceptions about blood sugar spikes How to keep your blood sugar in the “goldilocks” zone What is carbohydrate threshold? How different carbs affect blood sugar The worst combination of macros for your blood sugar An alternative theory around what causes insulin resistance (hint: it’s not carbs) Things that cause insulin resistance besides food What it feels like to have a blood sugar high or low Foods that SHOCKED me while wearing a CGM Things I learned from my blood sugar experiment Why are there variations between people with their blood sugar response to the same food The improvements I noticed by the end of the month  Answering some listener questions  Links Mentioned ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Root Cause Identifier Quiz!⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ (see what the root cause of your food struggles is) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN Heart Led Eating⁠ ⁠My DIY Somatics Masterclass⁠ Connect with me on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram @heart.led.wellness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (I'm on my stories everyday!) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1-on-1 Coaching info⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your Bloodwork Reviewed by me⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Veri CGM I used ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Acne Safe Skincare (Clearstem Skincare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠) code "HeartLedWellness" for 15% off ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BodyBio Supplements⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (PC) code "HeartLedWellness" for 15% off ⁠⁠⁠Heart and Soil Supplements⁠⁠⁠ (Beef Glandulars)  Email me at: [email protected]  Music created and produced by Wavesy!
