In this episode, we’re talking about something that impacts energy, hormones, mood, and cravings more than most people realize: blood sugar. We walk through how blood sugar works, the role insulin plays, and why consistent nourishment matters far more than perfection. I also share what I’m seeing in client work, things like how macronutrients, minerals, and total intake all work together to support steady energy and calmer cravings.

This episode isn’t about rigid rules or micromanaging food. It’s about learning how to support your body in a way that feels sustainable, grounded, and responsive to what it’s asking for physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why blood sugar regulation matters for hormones and daily energy
• How skipping meals and under-eating quietly disrupt stability
• The role of insulin and consistent eating patterns
• Why protein, carbs, and fats all matter and why none of them work alone
• How mineral status influences cravings and blood sugar swings
• What cravings often signal about nutrient needs
• The connection between stress, emotions, and blood sugar balance

If you’ve ever felt tired, shaky, moody, or stuck in cycles of cravings and crashes, this episode will help you understand what’s happening and where to start supporting your body more intentionally.
