We’ll cover:
• Surprising foods and habits that cause glucose spikes
• Why stress, sleep, and “naked carbs” matter more than you think

🧠 Key Takeaways:
• Sugar isn’t the only thing that spikes blood glucose — smoothies, oatmeal, oat milk, and stress can too.
• Liquid carbs hit faster and spike higher than solid foods.
• Poor sleep and cortisol can elevate glucose even without food.
• Your glucose response can change based on cycle phase, stress, or sleep.
• Eating in the right order, walking after meals, and avoiding naked carbs can help reduce spikes naturally.

You’re eating less. You’re exercising more.

But your body isn’t changing — and you’re wondering what’s broken.

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries, we’re breaking down the real reason fat loss stalls (even when you’re “doing everything right”). And spoiler: it’s not your willpower.

It’s insulin.We’ll cover:

• Why insulin acts like a fat-storage switch

• What’s keeping your body stuck in storage mode

• Why calorie-cutting isn’t enough if your insulin is high

• How to flip the switch back to fat-burning

• 3 simple ways to start lowering insulin naturally

If you’ve hit a wall with fat loss or feel like your metabolism has completely changed, this is the episode that explains why — and how to take back control.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Insulin is a storage hormone — when it’s high, your body can’t burn fat.

• You can be eating less and still gain weight if insulin is elevated.

• Most people unknowingly spike insulin 6–10 times a day.

• Reducing insulin (not just calories) is the key to sustainable fat loss.

• Simple strategies like eating fewer meals, walking after food, and eating in the right order can make a huge difference.

You’ve been told it’s just aging. Or hormones. Or stress.

But what if the fatigue, cravings, belly fat, bloating, or night waking are all connected… to one root cause?

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries, we’re digging into the real-life symptoms of insulin resistance — the ones that don’t always show up on lab work but do show up in your day-to-day life. These are the early signs most women miss — or get dismissed for.

We’ll cover:

• A quick recap of insulin resistance (and why it matters)
• 10 common but overlooked symptoms that could point to metabolic dysfunction
• Why your blood sugar can look “normal” while insulin is still high
• What to track and tweak if you recognize these signs
• A free checklist to help you take action now

This episode is packed with lightbulb moments and powerful self-awareness. If you’ve been feeling off — start here.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Insulin resistance develops silently — often years before your blood sugar or A1C looks abnormal.
• Symptoms like bloating, fatigue, carb cravings, sleep issues, and belly fat can all be early signs.
• Fasting insulin is rarely tested — but it’s a key marker of whether your body is in fat-burning mode.
• You don’t need a diagnosis to start paying attention.
• Small daily shifts can lower insulin, stabilize blood sugar, and help your body feel safe again.
