Note sull'episodio
Most people think they struggle with food.
But what they’re actually struggling with… is the story in their head about food.
In this episode of Glucose, Grit & Grace, Alane, Amber, and Elaine unpack the most common dieting mindsets that quietly keep women stuck... especially those trying to stabilize blood sugar, heal their metabolism, or navigate autoimmune symptoms.
Because it’s rarely about not knowing what to eat.
It’s about the internal scripts driving your decisions.
If you’ve ever thought:
* “I blew it.”
* “I’ll restart Monday.”
* “I just need more discipline.”
* “I’ll be consistent when life calms down.”
This conversation is for you.
