24 | Why Your Blood Sugar Is Secretly Behind Your Midlife Weight Gain

Have you ever wondered if that "healthy" food you've been eating every day might actually be working against your midlife metabolism and blood sugar?

Are you doing everything "right" with your eating — and still can't figure out why the weight won't budge and the cravings won't stop?

What if a small wearable device called a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) could finally show you exactly why you're gaining weight in midlife — and it has nothing to do with willpower?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many midlife women feel stuck — and it starts with something most of us were never taught to pay attention to: blood sugar. Using my husband Rich's eye-opening CGM experiment and his now-infamous banana story, I'm breaking down what blood sugar actually is, what's secretly spiking it (hint: it's not just food), and why your own personal data from a continuous glucose monitor is the missing piece that no diet, program, or generic meal plan has ever been able to give you. If you've been blaming yourself for lack of willpower, this episode will change the way you see your body — for good.
