If you've ever hit that 4pm wall, snapped at your kids, and then felt terrible about it this episode is for you. Spoiler: you're not a bad mum. It could be your biochemistry.
This week I'm talking about blood sugar stability, and why it's one of the most important and most overlooked things mothers can pay attention to fairly easily. This isn't a diabetes conversation. This is about the unglamorous, practical stuff that actually makes a huge difference to how you feel day to day.
I talk through why sleep deprivation does more damage than just making you tired, what's actually happening to your blood sugar when you're breastfeeding, and why skipping breakfast is the thing that makes everything harder.
Plus this week's question comes from my sister Ally, my recco is a Newcastle local I think you need to know about, and as always practical things you can actually do starting today.
In this episode:
Why the 4pm witching hour might be your blood sugars, not your kids
How sleep deprivation creates a metabolic state that looks a lot like pre-diabetes
The cortisol-glucose-progesterone triangle and why it matters for your hormones
What breastfeeding does to your blood sugar (and why hunger signals can't be trusted postpartum)
No naked carbohydrates, what that means and why it is important
