Episode notes
Ever feel like you’ve got one part of your health together, only to have another part fall apart? That’s because health isn’t just one plate—it’s six. In this episode, the Glucose, Grit & Grace coaches unpack the Six Spinning Plates of Health: Nutrition, Hydration, Movement, Sleep, Stress, and Supplements.
We’ll examine the plates at a high level, then shine the spotlight on one that trips nearly everyone up—stress. Left unchecked, stress not only affects blood sugar, sleep, and cravings but often leads to self-sabotage. The good news? When you learn to notice the wobble and reset with grit + grace, you don’t have to let a crash take you out.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why health is more than food and exercise—the six plates that keep your life balanced.
Why willpower alone doesn’t work, and how systems make the difference.
How stress impacts blood sugar, cravings, and mood.
The link between stress and self-sabotage (and how to break the cycle).
Practical ways to keep your plates spinning without perfection.
