In this empowering episode of LightBody Radio, we explore the powerful connection between blood sugar balance, sustainable movement, and breaking free from the exhausting all-or-nothing mindset. Our guest, Kayla Girgen—registered dietitian, certified personal trainer, and founder of the Sugar + Strength Academy—shares how women can build strength and improve metabolic health without falling into diet extremes or burnout cycles.

Together, we discuss the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), the surprising benefits of rucking, and why progress-over-perfection is the key to long-term transformation. If you’ve ever felt stuck between pushing too hard and giving up entirely, this episode offers practical tools and mindset shifts to help you feel strong, steady, and in control again.
