Most people don’t realize it, but one of the simplest ways to understand your overall health is by tracking your blood sugar. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Boz, Annette Bosworth, MD and I dive into why blood glucose monitoring—and especially using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)—can give you a clear picture of how your body is functioning.

From energy crashes to long-term chronic disease, blood sugar plays a bigger role in your health than you may think. And the best part? You don’t need to be a scientist to make sense of it.

We break it down in a way anyone can understand—engaging, thought-provoking, and sprinkled with a bit of humor—so you’ll walk away with practical insights you can actually use.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why insulin resistance is at the root of so many modern health struggles.
How tracking your blood sugar (even with a simple monitor) can transform your health decisions.
The surprising link between everyday choices and your long-term risk for chronic disease.
Why CGMs aren’t just for diabetics—they’re a powerful tool for anyone serious about health.
Simple, actionable tips to start taking control of your blood sugar today.
