you've probably been told to watch your carbs to keep your blood sugar under control. But what happens when your numbers look better simply because you're avoiding carbohydrates?

After my own experience with gestational diabetes, I thought cutting carbs was the answer to improving my insulin resistance. But even when my glucose readings looked good, I was still struggling with my metabolic health.

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal experience with keto, why lower glucose readings don't always tell the full story about insulin resistance, and what I started focusing on to support my metabolism beyond food.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why eating fewer carbs can lower glucose readings without necessarily resolving insulin resistance

• The difference between controlling glucose and improving insulin sensitivity

• What happened when I tried keto after gestational diabetes

• The foundational habits that support better blood sugar regulation
