In today's episode, Functional & Integrative Dietician Christina Palmisano tells us what we can do to manage the crazy body changes that happen in our late 30s and 40s. Turns out, we don't have to succumb to weight gain, fatigue, GI issues, bloating, cravings, poor sleep, etc.  The secret is simple: Managing our blood sugar levels. Even better? It's never too late to start and it works for everyone. Christina breaks down why consistent blood sugar is so important, what happens when it's out of whack, how to get it under control, physical and mental side impacts, the types of food that can help manage it (spoiler: it's NOT giving up carbs), and practical tips for how you can improve your entire life by simply focusing on your body's natural blood sugar levels. After all, everything in our body is connected so when your blood sugar is out of whack, so is your gut. When your gut is out of whack, so is your blood sugar. The same goes for your cardiovascular health, brain health, etc. But to the keys to all those kingdoms? Blood sugar. I hope you enjoy this episode.
