The Art Of Balancing Your Blood Sugar as a Woman with Kelly Leveque

The one and only Kelly Leveque joins me today on BETTER! and I couldn’t be more excited to share this conversation with you. Kelly is a certified functional nutritionist, wellness expert, and best-selling author and a mother of 2 young boys (with a little one on the way!). In this episode we dive into the magic of functional medicine, the differences between men and women’s lives & routines, and Kelly gives a masterclass on blood-glucose and how to balance your own.
