Glucose and insulin come up often in health conversations, but many of us were never really taught how they work together. Once you understand that connection, things like mid-afternoon crashes and sudden cravings start to make a lot more sense.
In this episode, we look at the glucose–insulin relationship in simple, practical terms — and how genes like TCF7L2, FADS1, and PPARGC1A can influence how your body handles carbs, fats, and energy after 45.
You’ll hear why two people can eat the same meal and feel completely different, and what those differences reveal about your own metabolism.
If you’ve ever felt your energy crash a few hours after eating, this short episode helps you see what’s really happening — and how small, everyday shifts can bring your system back into balance.
