QnA: Perimenopause and Fat Loss, Glucose Monitors, and Fiber Intake
Ever wonder why fat loss feels harder during perimenopause, or whether glucose spikes from fruit are something you should worry about if you are not diabetic? In this Q and A episode, I answer three important questions that come up all the time. We start with how perimenopause affects fat loss, and what you can actually do about stubborn belly fat when hormones are shifting, sleep is disrupted, and muscle loss starts to pick up. Then we talk about fiber, what it actually does for your health, and how to hit your daily target without overthinking it. And finally, I get into the truth about blood sugar spikes and continuous glucose monitors for non diabetics, and why most of the content you see online about them is just noise. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or confused about what actually matters, this episode is going to clear a lot up for you.
