120. Blood Sugar After 40: Please Stop Fearing Carbs

Blood sugar and carbohydrates can feel incredibly confusing—especially in midlife, when changes in estrogen, muscle mass, sleep, stress, and body composition can affect metabolic health.

In this episode, we're breaking down what your glucose, HbA and fasting insulin actually tell you, why you don't need to fear carbohydrates, and why constantly chasing a perfectly flat glucose curve may be doing more harm than good.

What "blood sugar balance" means—and why glucose spikes aren't always bad
Why carbs aren't the enemy and how to build meals with all macronutrients
How stress, under-eating, exercise, poor sleep, and midlife hormone changes can affect glucose regulation
Why building muscle, moving regularly, eating enough, and looking at lab trends over time matter more than obsessing over one number or wearing a glucose monitor
