Ever wonder how many carbs you should really be eating in midlife — and why the low carb plan that worked for your friend doesn't work for you? Could eating a cup of "healthy" blueberries actually spike your blood sugar? Here's what my CGM taught me about carb tolerance. What if two women ate the exact same meal and got two completely different blood sugar results? Here's how to find your own personalized carb number for insulin resistance. In this episode, I'm sharing why there is no single "right" number of carbs for every midlife woman, and how paying attention to your own blood sugar can help you find the amount that actually works for your body. I share the story of a blueberry smoothie I thought was healthy, until my CGM told me a different story, and I walk you through simple, no-guesswork steps you can try this week to start finding your own carb tolerance.
