There are 4 main foundational pillars of health that we must address and support if we want to have a much smoother hormonal ride through our 40s. And, if we want to safeguard our health, both now and in the future. 

In this episode I discuss the first of these foundations, which is blood sugar balance and insulin control. Insulin resistance is a big factor in perimenopause symptoms and challenges, both physically and cognitively. It impacts so many of the typical symptoms experienced in our 40s, including brain fog, mood issues, sleep issues, weight gain and belly fat, and even hot flushes and night sweats. 

In the episode, I discuss:

• Why blood sugar matters
• What “blood sugar balance” actually means
• The hormones involved in regulating it
• The impact of blood sugar dysregulation on our health and experience of perimenopause symptoms
• How it leads to insulin resistance + what that means
• How we achieve healthy blood sugar regulation + insulin control
