Episode 8: Blood Sugar After 35 — The Hidden Driver of Weight, Anxiety & Fatigue

If you’re exhausted by mid-afternoon, struggling with anxiety, or finding weight harder to lose after 35 — even when you’re eating well — blood sugar may be the missing piece.

In this episode of The You in Balance Podcast, Jen explains blood sugar in a simple, relatable way and why it becomes more sensitive in midlife. You’ll learn how blood sugar impacts energy, mood, hormones, sleep, and metabolism — and why this isn’t about willpower or restriction.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What blood sugar actually is and how it works

• Common signs of blood sugar dysregulation in midlife

• Why anxiety and crashes often start with low blood sugar

• How food, stress, sleep, and exercise all influence blood sugar

• Why “eating less” backfires after 35

• How functional testing helps identify root causes

This episode is about working with your body — not fighting it.
