ON TODAY'S EPISODE

If you’ve been stuck in the exhausting cycle of blood sugar crashes, cravings, fatigue, and weight struggles—even though you’re doing “all the right things”—this episode is for you.

I’m diving into one of the most frustrating, misunderstood, and common issues I see in my clients: trying to lose weight while dealing with hypoglycemia.

You’ll learn why strategies like fasting, carb restriction, and over-exercising might actually be working against you, and how low leptin, stress hormones, and undereating could be keeping you stuck. We’ll also explore the roots of this metabolic mismatch and what it really takes to heal your blood sugar, reset your hormones, and finally feel like your body is working with you again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why common weight loss advice backfires if you have hypoglycemia
The role of leptin and why yours might be too low
How stress, dieting, and undernourishment keep your metabolism in survival mode
Why the holistic health trends of 2018 may have set you up for burnout
The real reason you’re always hungry (even if you’re eating “enough”)
How blood sugar crashes mimic the stress of running from a tiger
What your body actually needs to feel safe, stable, and ready to release excess weight
The exact place to start if you want real healing (hint: it’s not more restriction)
