Show Notes
Did you know that you can use your mood as a telltale sign if you're fueling yourself properly and if you have wonky blood sugar levels? In today's episode, I interview Tamara Green and Sarah Grossman, both certified holistic nutritionists and the founders of The Living Kitchen. We delve into the impact of food on mood, mental health, hormonal balance and fertility with a laser focus on how to regulate blood sugar levels and why it's essential for reproductive health.
Episode Highlights:
- The hierarchy of hormones, insulin, and cortisol's influence on reproductive hormones
- Strategies for managing blood sugar spikes with fiber and polyphenols.
- Importance of stable blood sugar for hormonal health, menstrual cycles, and fertility
- The relationship between blood sugar levels and ovulation, fertility, appetite, calorie needs, and PMS symptoms
- Different methods for testing blood sugar levels
- The benefits of using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) in providing detailed insights into blood sugar patterns
