Send us Fan MailMost people think blood sugar is only something diabetics need to worry about.But what if blood sugar spikes are quietly affecting far more than that?In this episode, returning guest Dr. Mikayla Raddysh joins me to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of modern health: blood sugar regulation and metabolic health.We explore how blood sugar spikes can influence far more than energy levels. They may play a role in fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalances, PCOS, inflammation, and even long-term risks like cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, and Alzheimer’s disease.We also talk about why so many people can feel “healthy” on paper while something deeper is happening metabolically and why traditional lab work often misses early warning signs.Dr. Raddysh breaks down:• what insulin actually does in the body• why blood sugar crashes can trigger anxiety and mood swings• the surprising connection between blood sugar and hormones• why fatigue after meals may be a metabolic signal• how stress and cortisol affect glucose regulation• how continuous glucose monitors are changing the way we understand our bodies• simple ways to stabilize blood sugar through food, movement, and daily habitsThis conversation isn’t about restriction or fear around food.It’s about understanding the systems that power your energy, focus, mood, and long-term health and learning how small shifts can create meaningful change.Because when your body has stable energy, everything in life becomes easier to show up for.Find Dr.Raddysh HereInstagram: @drmikaylaraddyshWebsite: https://thriveregina.com/
