Comment CARBS and I'll send you the full breakdown

Comment CARBS and I'll send you the full breakdown of what's actually driving your blood sugar swings and the exact daily habit that supports each one.

Because I get asked this constantly: "Which carbs should I cut if my blood sugar's a mess?"

Here's the truth: your blood sugar isn't reacting to the bread, the fruit, or the potatoes. It's reacting to the state of your metabolism. Which is exactly why cutting carbs "works"... until it doesn't. Trust me I know from experience 😭

Swipe through for 4 of the real drivers, plus the one nutrient deficiency I see missed constantly (it helped my own fasting insulin from 7.6 to 2.5).

Save this before you fear another piece of fruit. Send it to a friend who thinks she just needs more willpower 🤍

You don’t have to give up dessert. You just have

You don’t have to give up dessert. You just have to build a better one. Like this 5-ingredient cookie dough bark.

Comment BARK and I’ll send you the full recipe + my ingredient upgrade list straight to you, as part of my series, One Small Change, in partnership with The Washington Post.

Because if you always crash after something sweet and immediately want more, it’s not a willpower problem. That’s a blood sugar crash.

And the fix is simpler than you think.

When sugar hits your bloodstream without enough protein to slow it down, your body overcorrects with insulin and drops your blood sugar fast. That crash is what makes you tired, foggy, and reaching for more even though you just ate.

So instead of giving up the sweet treats you love, start upgrading them. Swap the flour. Add protein. Use whole food sweeteners.

It’s one small change but a completely different blood sugar response.

Fiber is a non-negotiable for hormone balance and

Fiber is a non-negotiable for hormone balance and we’re aiming for 30 grams a day minimum (!!) yes, both protein and fiber matter. But one sets the foundation for everything else.

Fiber feeds your gut, slows blood sugar spikes, supports estrogen clearance, and keeps you full between meals. Most women are getting less than half of what they need daily and their hormones are feeling it.

Here’s how 30g of fiber actually looks in a day:

1 cup raspberries: 8g
2 tbsp chia seeds: 10g
½ cup cooked lentils: 8g
1 medium avocado: 10g
1 cup broccoli: 5g
1 slice sourdough bread: 2g
Total: 43g

Which means hitting 30g is more doable than you think

SAVE this and start tracking for a few days. Most people are shocked at how low they actually are.

Farmer Cheese from @lifewaykefir (probiotics, 15 grams of protein per serving, calcium!!) #Lifewaypartner
eggs + whites (protein, fat, choline)
microgreens (boost of nutrients)
toast & butter (complex carbs, resistant starch + fats) p.s. Lifeway now has Kefir Butter for an extra boost of probiotics
Manuka honey (immune support)
nectarine + figs (vitamins, minerals, fiber)

It goes beyond simply the macros of protein, fat and carbs and focuses on a variety of nutrients, probiotics and antioxidants. The simplest way to do this is to focus on variety and color.

You’re eating “healthy”... so why do you fee

You’re eating “healthy”... so why do you feel tired, inflamed, and all over the place? Comment BALANCED and I’ll send you a full day of blood sugar-friendly eats that actually leave you feeling good. 
Because maybe your day looks something like:
* Oat milk latte first thing
* Yogurt bowl loaded with fruit + honey
* Sweetgreen harvest bowl with quinoa, sweet potato + apple
* “Clean” protein bar with no real protein
* Adrenal cocktail or Erewhon smoothie mid-afternoon
* Stuffed dates or honey-sweetened milk as a bedtime snack 
These “healthy” choices spike your glucose fast and drop it just as quickly, leaving you:
* Craving carbs and sugar
* Puffy and inflamed
* Foggy and exhausted by 3pm
* Moody, wired, or waking up at 3am
* Bloated… even when you’re eating clean 
Here’s the truth:

- Carbs aren’t the enemy but they need to be balanced with protein and fiber or added around a workout.  
- Just because it’s a natural sugar or organic doesn’t mean it’s good for your blood sugar

- Gums, sweeteners, and missing minerals = more inflammation, less resilience.
