This season is all about listening to our bodies and today, Faith and Christa talk about the importance of blood sugar for EVERYONE, not just people with diagnosed issues. Our blood sugar is central to so many aspects of our health. When our blood sugar is off, we feel lethargic and exhausted or experience cravings and mood swings. If you get tired after you eat or experience that afternoon slump, if you crave sugar or caffeine, wake up in the middle of the night with sweats, have hormonal imbalances, suffer from depression or anxiety, or struggles with your weight, balancing your blood sugar is a key player in addressing all of it.

In Part 1 of this 2-part episode, Christa gets nerdy and dives into the science behind blood sugar and breaks it down in a super easy-to-understand way and gives practical tips to balancing blood sugar.
