    • How CGMs provide real-time insights into your unique nutrition needs
    • Practical strategies to reduce spikes and improve insulin sensitivity
    • Why monitoring glucose is an empowering step in preventing disease

    Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, optimizing workouts, or simply want to feel better day to day, this conversation will change the way you think about blood sugar and women’s health.
