If you've been to the specialists, tried everything, and still can't move through your symptoms, this episode is for you.In this episode, Lila breaks down why blood sugar dysregulation is likely behind more of your symptoms than you realize — from poor sleep, anxiety, and brain fog to hormonal imbalances, PCOS, weight gain, ADHD, and POTS. This isn't about cutting sugar. It's about understanding the swing, what drives it, and what your body is actually asking for.Lila shares her own clinical and personal experience with blood sugar dysregulation, including what she discovered using a continuous glucose monitor, why she dials in blood sugar with nearly every client she works with, and the one thing she always addresses first.We also get into the herbal conversation — and the critical distinction between herbs that lower blood sugar and herbs that stabilize it. Because for most people dealing with swings, those are not the same thing.This episode is a resource.
