You could be doing everything "right" and still riding a blood sugar roller coaster, with cravings, crashes, and mood swings driven by stress and not just what you eat, but how you pair your macros together. In this episode, I sit down with Kayla Girgen, a functional dietitian and certified personal trainer, and founder of Nutrition with Kayla, for a full blood sugar masterclass.

Kayla breaks down what a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) actually measures, why insulin resistance works like ‘sticky keys in a lock,’ and how to read your own data without a science degree. Kayle and I look at my own CGM history, to dig into how to read monitors and why you should keep your blood glucose levels looking like rolling hills vs peaks and valleys. The conversation also pivots to rucking—the simple, weighted-walk practice Kayla calls her "nature's Prozac", where Kayla breaks down the real benefits and exactly how to start with gear you already own.
