The Blood Sugar–Hormone Connection Every Woman Needs to Know

In today's episode, I'm breaking down why so many high achieving women are exhausted despite doing everything right sleeping 7 to 9 hours, taking magnesium, eating well, working out, staying hydrated and still waking up tired.

The truth? Fatigue in your late 30s, 40s, and 50s is rarely a sleep problem. It's a blood sugar and hormone physiology problem, and almost no one is talking about it. This includes the often ignored link between blood sugar and fatigue, especially as women move through perimenopause.

In this eye opening episode, I explain:

why blood sugar instability triggers fatigue even with perfect sleep and how women's blood sugar balance shifts during perimenopause

how estrogen fluctuation alters insulin sensitivity and makes energy more unpredictable

why cortisol and blood sugar spikes from stress tank energy faster than sugar itself

how progesterone and blood sugar regulation form the emotion triangle so many women feel in midlife

how nighttime glucose crashes and night sweats blood sugar swings cause early waking

how perimenopause fatigue is tied to subtle mitochondrial shifts most women feel long before any obvious period changes

why stabilizing blood sugar is the number one hormone strategy for busy women and how it helps prevent the classic perimenopause energy crashes

This episode will help you understand exactly why your energy feels inconsistent and what you can do this week to feel more stable, clear, and grounded in your body.
