Sugar & Metabolism 101: How Glucose, Insulin, Snacking, and Fasting Affect Your Health

Welcome back to Serenity and Fire. Today, we’re kicking off a transformational new series all about sugar—what it is, how it works in your body, and why so many of us feel confused, overwhelmed, or outright frustrated by our relationship with it.In this episode, Krista breaks down the basics of glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, metabolic flexibility, fat storage, cravings, energy crashes, hormone shifts, and how often we should really be eating. You’ll learn why sugar itself isn’t the villain—and why the frequency of eating, snacking, and constant glucose exposure is at the heart of metabolic dysfunction.Krista also shares her real-time experience doing a four-day water fast as part of her healing protocol for weight management, heavy metal detox, and perimenopausal metabolic challenges. This episode is equal parts science, story, and empowerment—and the groundwork for everything coming next in the Sugar Series.If you’ve ever struggled with cravings, stubborn weight, inflammation, fatigue, or feeling “off” hormonally… this episode is for you.Follow the show on Instagram: @serenityandfireVisit Panacea Luxury Spa BoutiqueThe best way to support the show is to follow, leave a review, and share this episode with someone you love.
