78. Sneaky Blood Sugar Things That Are Messing With Your Hormones

Happy fall, friends! 🍂 We’re kicking things off with a reminder from my son’s teacher that I think we ALL need to hear: Do your best and keep going. Because perfectionism can keep us stuck in a cycle of stress and symptoms. And that brings us to today’s topic: BLOOD SUGAR! We’re talking about why blood sugar regulation is foundational for progesterone, energy, sleep, and helping your body feel safe enough to heal.

I’m breaking down the sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, why more protein isn’t always the answer, and how minerals, carbs, digestion, and fiber all play a role. Plus, we’re connecting the physical and spiritual dots when it comes to getting out of survival mode and learning to trust your body again. 💛

In this episode:

• Why releasing perfectionism matters in your healing journey
• Sneaky signs of blood sugar dysregulation, from night waking to cravings and mood swings
• The connection between blood sugar, progesterone, & cortisol
• Why undereating and inadequate carbs may be working against you
• How minerals, digestion, and fiber support metabolic health
• The connection between PCOS + blood sugar regulation
• Why spiritual rest + nervous system safety matter
• How my Missing Piece sessions & Restore Your Progesterone program can help you find your next steps
